I’ve been having a very hard time finding baby clothing and sleepwear .
I have no idea what I am having . I’ve been to Target, Walmart, The Childrens Place, and Babies R Us .No luck at all. Will I have any luck at Carters?
We didn’t know what we were having either and it was extremely difficult to plan things for baby. I couldn’t find anything that was truly neutral. Things that were green tended to have dinosaurs, frogs, etc. on them. Things that were yellow tended to have animals on them. I wouldn’t wear any of that on a baby girl… It all said BOY to me.
I think the place that had the most neutral stuff was at Gap. It was yellow and white with no animal on it at all (except for the little Gap bear). It was only things like onesies, sleepers, and gowns though. No actual clothing. And to me, even that was boyish when it was shelved next to the same stuff in pink.
I had a baby shower where people bought me all kinds of yellow/green baby clothes … to get me started. Well, it turned out I had a girl and I haven’t worn any of it on her. I’m handing it all down brand new to my SIL who is having a boy in April. When my baby was born everyone I knew went out and bought her tons of pink clothes so we’re good to go despite the fact that we had nothing for HER to start out.
My advice is to get a few necessities in neutral colors and then when you know the sex go out and get everything else.

We do not know what we’re having, either, and a friend told me to try Carters. Good luck!

Oh Carters, 5 dollar super cute stuff, and they have better prices then Babies R Us. I went to Babies R Us and bought a outfit for my son, Carters brand and it was 14.00 dollars I went to Carters store and the same thing was 10.00 and 20% off. My friends baby shower is coming up and she’s having a girl I bought her so many cute shirts and pants for 5.00 bucks.
I also like Childrens’ Place for nicer stuff, when I take pictures and so forth I get my son’s stuff from there.
