Fiiiinally started shopping for the baby and trying to work out how many of each clothing type I need? Conscious that it could be a heatwave but June was quite mild last year so who knows! FTM and just feel so overwhelmed and struggling to work out what I need - anyone got any lists they could kindly share?

if it helps, i’m getting a mixture of things-
• little vests
• short sleeved vests
• sleep suits
• 0.5 or 1 tog swaddles / bags
• 1 pram suit (just incase!)
• romper type suits - for something a bit more prettier
our weather is so unpredictable so i’m making sure i’m cratering for hot & warmer weather. as long as you’ve got a mixture, you can’t go wrong ☺️

I'm due end of june and we've gone for
- 10 bodysuits in each age, just short sleeve for first 3 months and then a mix for the rest of the year.
- 5 sleep suits per age
- 1 pramsuit for the age they'll be in jan-march
- 2x 2.5 tog sleep bag
- 2x 1 tog sleep bag
- 2 newborn hats and 2 0-3month hats
- 2 winter hats
- loads of socks
- various other outfits to wear over bodysuits as and when. Made sure to get some layers for the first 3 months incase we have a cooler summer
Also a ftm to be so probably gone overboard though 😅

Thank you so much both, that's super helpful!!
