This is my first baby, I’m due to give birth in early July. I really want to start buying baby clothes now, but all I can find are thick winter layers. Obviously in the height of summer these won’t be necessary, but I’m actually unsure of what things TO buy when summer things eventually come into store?
Also, what kind of things should my baby sleep in during the summer? What about booties, are they even needed, or should I just buy socks?
Interested to hear from mothers who’ve had their babies in the summer, and what they bought. Thank you ![]()
i had my baby july 15th 09. really the only things you need for the first 3 months or so is baby vests, babygrows and 2 or 3 outfits! i wish someone told me this before i had my daughter because i spent a small fortune on lots of cute outfits and they didnt even get worn lol! i got cute little summer dresses, dungarees (sp) and cardigans. my baby is almost 8 months now and still has never worn shoes, just socks or tights! if your in u.k then matalan and mothercare have already got great clothes ready for the summer! good luck and congrats!
oh and to sleep in just a baby vest and light blankets if its really hot, but i always put her in a vest and babygrow just in case she got too cool. babies need one extra layer than what an adult needs!
hope ive helped!
