Thank you so much for all the advice! I do not want to spend too much $$ on fancy stuff like boots and jackets if they are unnecessary. I want to make sure my little boy is warm and comfortable, nothing more for now. When he starts walking, of course everything will be bought. So for now I shall get good socks and zipup snowsuits :)

I second the one piece zip up snow suit. You don't need mittens, hats and boots at this stage if you purchase a fleece and regular snow suit (I'd do two, one for colder days! If you choose to do a hat, get one that straps underneath their neck with velcro.

I never used boots, just a snowsuit when out in stroller and extra blankets when going to the car. They aren't walking yet, just need to stay warm. Plus they outgrow things so quickly it's not worth the money. Even in fall, I'd just slip extra hiking socks of mine over her legs when she was in the carrier for an extra layer of warmth. It's a pain to do tons of bundling so if you find a one piece suit with zips it's easier. Plus hats. If the sleeves are long you might not bother with mitts.

I found most mittens do not stay on their hands since the elastics are usually still too big. BUT at Walmart and Kmart there is a type of mitten (not sure of brand) where there are three in a pack, all white and have one thin colored line (mint, blue, pink). The elastics in these are a little tighter and work very well! Used them for all 3 DD's! Just might need to go buy some new ones though if #4 turns out to be a boy....

I did like the disposable underwear, but that's me. Just that the hospital always gave me extras and i never had to worry about buying regular pads and leaking or other accidents. At least the hospital ones covered well!

If you have the extra $$$ and want to buy all the cute lil boots it's your choice. Otherwise long as the baby is always bundled well socks are good. We even put socks on under full sleepers when going out during winter time. But it all depends on you and how much 'extras' you are willing to put on and off the baby when going places. Our JJ Cole bundle and even one heavy blanket always kept our kids warm- sometimes too much!

Yes winter clothes like boot's and jackets I found the cutest fur boots for my baby girl from target... And a Winnie the pooh all n one jacket... Love love love it!!

You can get a baby bunting that covers their head, feet and hands for outdoors. I'd still buy winter clothes too.

The car seat covers that fit snugly over the seat and open over baby's face are fabulous.

I live in Colorado to. its really to cold to take baby out some times. the mittens don't really stay on I just got heavy body suits hats are a must and heavier blankets oh yeah and socks I didn't really use a jacket but when taking baby out cover the car seat with a blanket to keep cold and wind out. good luck.

Im in colorado aslo and would like to know lol

Winter clothes like boots and jackets?

My little one has winter clothes plenty of them

It does, thanks :) any mommas about the winter clothes for baby?

Not a FTM here so as far as baby stuff all of the above on that.

Diaper very few newborn they do grow out of those quickly... Size 1's and 2's get plenty...

Newborn clothes slim few... Maybe only onsies other than that 0-3 and 3-6.

Disposable panties SUCK!!! yes the hospital will give u some...

And INFINITY Always overnight pads... Are the Best!!! And find u a bomb gurttle to help get ur body back to where u want it to be.... Really hope that helps!! =)

So for baby clothes did you buy a lot of 0-3 months size clothes?

oh and the hospital will give u some disposable panties but I hear a lot of people don't like them. I was just told to go buy a package of underwear that you can ruin.

I'm a FTM too but I can give u some advice I got.

on the baby stuff get some. you may or may not use iit. it depends on the baby..some like it some don't.

on diapers. don't get a lot if newborn. odds are they won't fit them for very long same with newborn clothes.

mommy stuff.

get heavy flow over night pads. or you can get depends. I hear some people.like depends. I was recommended always brand.

hope this helped :)
