What to dress baby in

Hi, I’m due end of May and struggling to know what’s best for baby to be wearing at this time. Obviously no one can predict the UK weather but should I be buying more short sleeve or full bodysuits?
Also, are outfits a good idea or will they live in body/sleep suits for the first few weeks
Thanks!

I bought loads of outfits newborn and 0-3 months and I can honestly say I think I actually used like 5 in total! It is SO MUCH easier putting them in a babygrow etc especially with the mits attached, mits just always seemed to fall off my baby and his little hands got so cold otherwise xx

My first lived in sleepsuits for like 2 months 😂 with vests underneath (short or long sleeved, depending on whether we were in/out/what the weather was like) and/or cardigans over the top. Layers are good 👍🏻

Due end of may, today we bought a couple of 0-3m sleep suits, short sleeve vests, long sleeve vests, couple of 'leggings'
All in 0-3m because usually Asda George sizes a bit small and I prefer those clothes a bit larger so they last longer.
Depending how the next few growth scans go I might need to buy some premie sleep suits and vests. I'm not really bothering with outfits for the first few months

I mainly have short and long sleeved vests and Sleepsuits
I have 2 cardigans and 2 short legged dungarees if warmer. Also have a few blankets to layer if needed!

I'm due 9th May and I have loads of sleep suit and body suits. The weather here is super unpredictable but if it's hot I'll put him in a body suit instead of the long suits. Just style your baby to match the weather , I also have tiny trousers and tops but he wont be in those yet x

I’ve gone with just sleepsuits first size and then a mix of sleepsuits and romper type outfits in up to 3 months as we’re going to Tenerife when she is 9 weeks old. So will just use those if we have any heatwaves. I’ve just got lots of cardigans and will layer up when needed x

I’ve gone with short sleeved vests and then full body sleep suits for newborn and more of a mix for 0-3 x
