How many onesies?

Question

First time mom - I was wondering how many onesies of each size should I stock up on? My shower is this weekend and whatever we don't get I would like to purchase ASAP. Just curious how many onesies should I have? Thanks so much!

Answer

I only got one pack of the white onesies, and I'm glad! My little guy runs warm, so he almost never wears them as undershirts... Just sleep n plays and "regular" onesies. That said, the most we've had to change him was 4 outfits in a day. 90% of the time, he wears one outfit per day. He's almost 4 months and just about to move into 6-9 month clothes due to his length. He has several outfits in each size that he never wore.
He fit NB for about 3 weeks, but we had more spit ups and diaper leaks in those as we figured them out. I'd say 20 outfits/onesies each in NB and 0-3, plus 3-4 sleep sacks is a good amount. But if you have less, just do laundry more! 😊.  And don't worry... Carter's is constantly on sale!

My lo was 7lbs 11oz, gained weight well and was in nb onsies for 6wks. We could only do laundry once a wk because it was a pain to drag the baby to the laundry room all the time. I bought 15-20. I didn't actually stock up that much just bought when ever I saw something cute.  Onsies are wicked cheap it can't hurt to buy a bunch. Just get the 4 or 5 packs.

Answer

My first baby didn't have many blowouts so I was able to get away with 5 NB onesies (they only fit him for about 2 weeks) and another 5-7 onesies in sizes 0-3. That's the bare minimum I used and that's with only doing laundry two to three times a week.

Answer

I would go with 3x per day for 2-3 weeks worth? Since you will be washing them a lot you will probably wanna keep a lot on hand

Answer

Our sweet girl was very spitty at the beginning, so we went through maybe 4 onesies per day to deal with spit up. If you only want to do laundry once a week, that's 28 right there...but I would say you're probably fine with a dozen or so in each size and go with the flow for laundry. Keep in mind, too, that people (ahem, grandparents...) like to by clothes once the baby is born.
