[quote=Anonymous]I second the recommendations to go easy on the newborn stuff.  Most babies are in those items for a couple of weeks, if at all!  And as long as s/he's not tiny, it's no big deal if the clothes are a little big on her. I would have a couple of sleepers and a couple of onesies in this size just in case she needs it and otherwise put her in the 0-3 month as soon as you can.  You can always buy more and get it delivered if it turns out you really need it! (amazon prime is free when you first sign up for a month i think; if you're not already a member, I recommend giving it a try as soon as baby is born.  things like omg-i-need-more-newborn-size-stuff-right-now are much less panicky.)

My girl was born during the winter and wore almost nothing other than cozy sleepers for the first 3 months, sometimes with a onesie under it for added warmth as my house is drafty.  In the summer, I would guess lightweight sleepers or just a onesie would be fine.  How many depends on how often you feel like doing laundry.  I would probably go with 5-10 sleepers (sleep&play or "long" onesie or "footed pajamas" - the name depends on the brand) and 5ish regular onesies.

Have 1 or 2 cute outfits in the 0-3 month size just for fun.  skip it if you need to cut costs.  I was given a TON of stuff - cute outfits, clever onesies, etc - and I swear she was in nothing except the same 6 or 7 sleepers for at least the first 2 months.

I vote YES on the velcro swaddles.  Saves time and energy when you are sleep-deprived and bleary-eyed.  I liked the smallest size of swaddle-me when she was little.  And the halo sleepsack with swaddle when she got a little bigger.   Miracle blankets were too much trouble for me swaddles got spit-up and pee and poo on them like everything else; so you'll want a few but maybe wait and figure out which one you like before buying a bunch.[/quote]
