First time mum, due in September and trying to not over spend. What is everyone’s opinions on how much you actually need to buy. I’m thinking along the lines of baby grows, how many will I actually need? And any other items which you’ve found you end up buying more of for no reason.
Thank you!!

I went with the rule wearing one, one in the wash and one in the draw for every day. Unfortunately all babies are different, some are sicky and others have more poop explosions. I’d personally get a few bits of each as you can always buy more if you feel you don’t have enough x

When my first was really small we did go through a lot of vests/onesies/muslins. You get good bundles on Vinted if you are wanting to save some money but still have enough, I still buy almost all my sons clothes second hand 🤷🏻♀️ the first couple weeks after birth laundry really wasn’t on my mind much so having plenty of basics meant I could skip it for a day or two here and there x

Don’t go overboard with newborn size as your baby *might* not even be in it!
I’d say it depends how much washing you want to do 🤷🏽♀️ but to expect a few changes in a day.
Don’t waste your money on outfits, I would have had my little ones in mostly baby grows and cardigans when they were little little 🥰
