What size clothing do you buy for an infant that is about 10 pounds?
My neice is a few days short of 4 months, and she is only 10 pounds. Do I buy newborn clothes? Or do I buy the 0-6 month size? What diaper? I see the newborn sizes go up to 10 lbs. usually, or should I get size one to be safe? My employer has given me paid leave for one month due to thie extenuating circumstance to “figure this all out”. And I’m still lost. How much clothing does a baby need in their wardrobe? I’ve been to the Carters outlet and spent close to $300 on receiving blankets, burp cloths, towels, booties, 0-3 month clothes (figured I couldn’t go wrong there) and baby items like wipes, diapers and lotions, wash, etc etc. What else do I need?
David W> No, I’m adopting my sisters special needs baby, thank you very much. I’m glad my employer is not a bonehead like you.
Hello!! People the time off work is due to the legal issues surrounding the adoption of my niece and finding childcare so I can return to work. Not just to find baby accoutrements. That’s silly.
The clothes you already bought should be wearable for a little while, but you should probably buy 3-6M size. As far as how many, it depends on how often you want to do wash. I’m a baby clothes addict so my kids had nearly enough to wear a different outfit for the first 3 months of their life!! Onesies are important but I can’t say I ever used receiving blankets for anything more than something to change the baby on.
Diapers I’d say a size 1, although most brands are NOT the same size so you need to experiment.
As far as other things you need, I’d invest in a bouncy seat which will be invaluable to you for the next 6 months or so, but as far as the basics go you seem like you pretty much have everything covered.
You might want to buy some baby Tylenol and gas medicine to keep on hand as well, and a baby bathtub or sling to put in the big tub. You might choose to get the book “What to expect the first year” too – very informative.
Good luck!
