Take me home outfits

[amesie]

Anyone else thinking about a take-me-Home outfit for the LOs? Or am I the only crazy person?

[amesie]

I loved trying to find a special outfit for DD to wear home from the hospital so I’ve begun my hunt for DD2. My mom always saved the outfits/blankets that she brought all of us home in... I only have my blanket, which I used to take home DD1, and will probably use again for DD2.

I bought this outfit but am not super crazy about it:

So I just got this from Gymboree which I think I love... it says “new in town” which I think is adorable and hilarious, especially for a take home outfit

Bonus pics of little itty bitty DD1 the day we took her home from the hospital 😍😍 (but not really that itty bitty... 9.5lb and already in 0-3m clothes!!!)

You're not the only one. I was out shopping a few weeks ago, and bought this cute one piece outer space in french terry.

DS came home in a cream and brown set. It was cute but way too big. He grew into it better a couple weeks later.

amesie I like outfit two the best. The three piece set is cute, but I tend to avoid jackets when they are super little.

amesie the footie pants were my fave with M!

agreed! Especially ones with hoods. It amazes me how many hoodies there are on infant outfits!! I’m just worried about it being middle of winter in New England it the onesie alone not being warm enough

Hoods add a whole other layer of tricky.

We use a car seat cover to keep warm outside. It works well for Nova Scotia, so I expect it would do well in New England. We also put hats and warm booties on for the first couple weeks.

I did but honestly I will probably recycle from dd1. Or just put her in a sleep amd play. #secondchildsyndromestartsinthewomb

I'll pack up the sleeper DS wore if it's a boy. Obviously they won't be able to wear the gender neutral t shirt onesie that I pulled out of his stash that DD wore home if it's a girl because January haha. (Can you tell she was 3.5 lbs heavier than him 😂)



So I'll have to go through DDs stuff and see if there's something warmer we could use.

I did buy a fleece suit that's thin enough for the car seat and babywearing, because we will solidly be in winter gear until April, but I'll have to see what it fits like when they are in the squishiest newborn stage.

ETA like sparky85 said, we also have a fleece car seat cover that keeps it warm in there.

tiffrobot where did you get that fleece onesie/bunting? I need something thin enough for at least baby wearing! And it’s a bonus if it’ll work in a car seat too! It’s frigid temps here well into April as well 😞

I found it at Old Navy! It comes in pink and blue too but #teamgreen haha
Of course that's the Canadian site, so there may be the odd different thing.

thanks! I’ll take a look. Every bunting I’ve seen so far has been so puffy and too thick for car seat wear or baby wear

ETA I found it!! But now I don’t know what size to order. DD was a porker and was in 3-6month clothing at 5 weeks old 😩. So if this one follows suit, that would put me at end of February/beginning of March.

[tiffrobot]

amesie I'm also not expecting a wee baby but I ordered a 0-3 month because I do have some thin fleece 6 months from the other two so I figure this will at least get me through babywearing in the newborn stage. I'm not as worried about the car seat because we can do layers and blankets and the car seat cover anyway.

I have some thin fleece outfits like that from Carters.

[pippiann]

This babe will come home in a footie! And probably one of M’s, he was a early dec babe so all the clothes should work out perfectly!

[marygracerich]

I haven’t chosen and outfit yet. My sil bought a cute outfit for him but I am being an ass and I want to be the one to pick his outfit. It will probably be a sleeper but I still want to pick it.

[ajetter]

I had bought an adorable going home outfit for DD1 in a newborn size (but not Carters, some rando brand) and then she only weighed 5.5 pounds when we were discharged and nothing fit her. So I sort of gave up on going home outfits after that. But I just have a feeling this babe is going to be my first over 7 pounds, so maybe newborn outfits would fit. In which case I’ll probably bring along a one piece outfit that I like.

[sarahh]

We didn't put DD in a special outfit last time. I think she just went home in a onesie. For DD2 I bought a cute two piece newborn outfit from a Boden BST site that I will probably put her in.

I ended up getting one in each size haha. It was on sale for $12 so it was low risk for me

[bassa]

tiffrobot Ohhhhhh my goodness. Your DD's chubby cheeks. I can't even.

[jessijean]

I have a couple to choose from. Both MIL found. She finds really cute stuff but underneath I get annoyed when she goes to rummage sales without me and finds adorable things. Selfish, I know.

One is red and black plaid and the other says "lil bro team" or something little brother ish.

I had originally picked out one of my favorite sleepers from DS. We shall see.

Oh good!! I managed to get mine for $17 so I was pretty happy too!!

[marygracerich]

Since this is our last baby I feel I am over thinking everything. I also didnt have options with G so it feel strange to be able to plan this sort of thing. G’s arm was broken at delivery so I had to choose an outfit that was a full size too big so I could get it over her cast. This shouldn’t be a problem this time around.

[dragonflyinn]

I have no idea. With DD we brought a few little pajamas and outfits to the hospital for pictures and just ended up bringing her home in pajamas. I’ll probably do the same for this little guy. DD fit newborn for a month so I’ll probably bring some NB pajamas & maybe one pair of 0-3 just in case.

Here’s itty bitty DD when we left the hospital, as you can see NB pajamas were way too long on her haha:

[ajetter]

I’m thinking these with a cute or personalized onesie could work.
They are candy Kirby designs. Not cheap but not too pricey and several colors.

[ajetter]

I’ve also been debating one of these completely unnecessary hats. But they wouldn’t match the pants. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[yellow711]

Is it bad I don't even remember what my DD came home in 4 years ago?
And we forgot to take pictures. Mom fail.

I have no idea what we will bring the new baby home in.

I couldn’t remember until I looked up the pics haha

[jessijean]

We forgot to take pics of bringing DS home too. Maybe I'll remember this time... Maybe.
