How many short sleeve vests/ sleep suits/ long sleeve vests?
I know this is super early but I’m trying to just budget & make a plan for what I’ll need. But I’m clueless and have no idea how many of each do you need and what sizes for each?
Please can anyone advise and just list me the quantities you recommend for each size and each item? X

As someone who bought no tiny baby clothes first time round and had a baby spend her first two days in an nhs towel and massive sleepsuits. This time I’m just buying, 10 sleepsuits and vests in each size tiny, newborn and up to 1 month. Then a couple of cardigans. They don’t need outfits and the best way to do it is to do a wash load a day. Honestly what you need most is a drawer of muslin cloths! I live in a two bed flat with not much space and I’ve learnt that less is best
Also take a look at vinted. You can get such nice things for such great value. Newborns only ever wear their clothes once or twice, so most things have a lot of wear still in them
I wouldn't bother getting too much newborn size stuff until you see how big the baby is. We got about 6 newborn vests and 6 newborn sleep suits and got about double that of 0-3 months size. My son was small enough to fit into newborn when he was born so we bought another 6 of each and he moved up to 0-3 after a few weeks. I know others though that didn't end up using newborn stuff at all. It's also all a bit unpredictable and depends on things like how often you can get a wash on and how much they spit up (my son didn't much at all but my niece did loads so my brother ended up buying way more). We bought quite a bit through vinted to keep the price down too, you can search things like 0-3 months bundle and you can get a lot for pretty cheap.
