Clothes For Baby

Before your baby is born how many pairs of clothes should you have on hand for the baby? Can you provide any specifics on clothes as to what kinds of clothes to have? I'm six months pregnant with a girl.

just a couple going out outfits; depending on weather where u are, plenty of onesies and light/heavy weight footed pjs, or long sleeve onesies with a swaddler wrap or sleepsack; most nbs prefer swaddling and i recommend the 'swaddle me ' wraps by kiddopotamus....i swear they are why my dd has always slept through the night; after she got older we switched to the sleepsacks and she still wears those at a year old, so we don't have any blankets or anything in her crib....
u need a few pairs of socks
if it's a little cool, u might want a couple pairs of pants to go over the onesies....
sometimes in the ac my dd still gets cool, so i keep a light sweater or jacket around for those times....

until baby is older, you won't need much more than a couple outfits, bc they will probably spend most of their time in the onesies or sleepnplays (same as pjs with feet)....the number you buy depends on how often you want to do laundry....and if u use bibs...sometimes you would have to change clothes a couple times a day bc of spitup or diaper leak or poop explosion, etc.....if u don't have you own laundry facilities, then i would suggest buying at least enough for a week, figuring in the clothes changes...i definately recommend bibs too! sometimes they save the outfit and are much easier to change...
a lingerie bag is great for washing socks and those little hand mitts to keep them from scratching their face, they don't get lost that way....hth

I am trying to find a laundry detergent for baby clothes that smells good that I can also use for regular clothes. I like my clothes to smell good and I always try to buy the kind with added scents but they never come out smelling like they are supposed to. But I want something that I can use for baby clothes too.

Definitely Dreft but in the uk it is getting increasingly difficult to buy the automatic Dreft and only ever nowadays in the small box. As a result after 30 years of using Dreft I now use Woolite as it is a bit easier to get hold of!

What do you put in a baby clothes and equipment survey? because i've done a questionnaire on baby clothes and equipment but what is the difference between a survey and a questionnaire? and do you get the results by asking someone like a questionnaire?

Thanks in advance.

i would say the difference is that in a survey there are a few points that people get to 'vote' on (what do you prefere _Pampers _Cloth Diapers), in a questionaire they fill in their own answers (What kind of diapers do you use: ____________) so you get a lot of different answers with the questionaire and popular answers with the survey

Just been doing my homework and i know that all new baby clothes must be washed before they wear them but i wondered how hot a wash they need to be in. Thank you.

I just washed all my babies things at 40, the same as everything else in the house. Worked OK for us.

I know babies grow fast especially newborns. I dont want to go crazy in buying baby clothes that they wont wear. How many outfits per baby stage are good?

I always go with 8 - 10 onesies (undershirts), 5-8 sleepers (footsie pyjamas), and 2-3 "visiting" outfits (the fancier stuff) for each size. Also, 8-10 pairs of socks, 3-4 baby hats, lots of receiving blankets and baby blankets to keep baby warm in the carseat. SAVE YOUR $ ON SCRATCH MITTENS - USE SOCKS INSTEAD.
