how many items of clothing does a baby really need to start off with and what size. I totally forgot…

I'd say more PJs or soft one piece outfits than anything for the first month. It depends on how often you are gonna wash laundry. If daily, like 7 pairs of PJs because you need to account for a couple outfit chanhes per day due to spit up and pee and etc. If not daily, 12 -14 pairs of PJs or so to be on the safe side.

Also, I'd do some newborn and 0-3 months.

Don't get a lot of newborn. Actually, don't get a lot of any size in particular. They grow so fast!

I'd say get a few onesies of newborn, 0-3 month, and a few shirts too. They go through sooo many lol but they also grow quickly, so I wouldn't stock up too much on one size until you see how baby's growing.

ok, cool thanks @henrysmommy @sarahemccormick @mommagotbump16

I really just depends how big they are at birth. I was never told his size just estimations during pregnancy. My baby was in newborn clothes for almost 2 months and just upgraded to size 1 diapers about 2 weeks ago. 0-3 swallowed him. He was 6 lbs 8 oz at birth. At 2 months now he fits most 3 month clothing.

@yungbae, I normally have big babies my son and daughter were 8 lbs. this new baby is another girl so I'm guessing she will be 8 pounds too lol

@yungbae, but I remember newborn diapers only fit the first week lol. . I think I might skip that size when shopping:*)
