Ok ladies since the doc gave me the news of such an early c section yesterday I have went into complete and full nesting mode. I have no idea how much of each a baby needs. I know it's a lot but my husband is asking and I'm like idk I think we have enough blankets ect, ect... Here is my list... I know we need a lot and some are a given like diapers, wipes, lotions, soaps and things like that but you can still give me an idea of how many we need. Thanks in advance!!
Bella's inventory:
1 box of newborn diapers
2 packs of size 1 diapers
1 box of wipes
5 NB booties
3 NB shoes
1 bottle cleaner
1 formula dispenser (I'm actually breastfeeding)
1 pack of spoons and forks
2 teethers
2 rattles
3 brush/comb sets
6 packs of hair bows
6 wash cloths
1 hooded towel
1 lotion, 1 baby wash, 1 baby powder
6 blankets
17 bibs
4 plain white NB onesies long sleeve
7 NB onesies
4 NB sleepers
11 (0-3 outfits)
3 (0-3 one piece designer onesie)
1 (0-3 polo sleeper) not sure if that's for bed or out?
1 (0-3 onesie with leg warmers)
2 (0-3 coats)
4 (3-6 outfits)
2 (3-6 rompers)
2 (3-6 track suits)
2 (3-6 designer onesies) ( meaning I think they should be worn going out not to sleep in but idk)
1 (3-6 blouse)
4 (6-9 outfits)
1 (6-9 coat)
3 (6-9 onesies)
1 (6-9 romper)
I'm thinking baby will be born around 5 pounds because I will only be 35 weeks. I am not sure if I should get a couple of preemie outfits just in case. Is a newborn coat necessary? I'm in upstate NY. I have no idea how many socks, onesies, gowns, sleepers I need to buy. How many mittens? My husband wants answers and I just guess and hope I'm right. I know we should really focus on the first three months and everything else we can kind of buy what we need but it would nice to have a good stockpile but I'm not sure the quantity baby will use...

Buy yourself a set of onesie extenders on eBay and that will help buy more time as baby grows. :-).

@amberr_0302, ok so 2-3 boxes should be enough? Plus whatever extra I get from the hospital... I know they gave me two packs with my oldest two

@gabbymommyof3, because I have a previa and history of preterm labor.. They don't want to give my cervix a chance to open because its blocking the path for baby to come out.

I know you'll definitely need more newborn diapers , you should change newborns at least every hour so they're going to fly right threw all their diapers

my daughter was 8 pounds 5 oz so she was in nb until we left the hospital then in 0-3 months. I think start out with what you have and if she's in them longer go out and get some more you don't wanna have too much and not use them and 3 month and 0-3 month are the ones there in for the longest so stock up on those .

my baby left the hospital at 5 lbs 11 ounces.. she needed premmie clothes. you should probably get like 2 or 3 outfits. they grow out of them so quick. if i were closer to you id give you the extra one i have. didnt even get a chance to put it on her she grew out of them so quick lol

@briannalorelle17, lol ok I prefer the smell of baby magic but I think I can apply the same concept... Do you know how many onesies I should get or sleepers for NB size and 3 months?
