S/O How much clothing does he need?
I went a little wild at the last consignment sale that I attended so I'm trying to curb my buying this time around.
I like to buy as much of his clothing at the consignment sale as I can. He is currently 6 months, will be 9 mos, 12 mos and nearly 15 mos by the time the spring sale rolls around. This sale is only for fall/winter items.
I had read somewhere that up to 6 mos you should allow for up to 3 changes of clothes a day. Is that still a good rule of thumb at this age?
Any idea how many of the following I should allow for?
Onsies
Sleepers
Outfits (I try to buy outfits instead of separates so it's a no brainer for papa to dress him).
I do his laundry about every other day.
TIA! and Happy Friday!
Re: S/O How much clothing does he need?
If I did laundry every other day, my kid would probably have four outfits and three sleepers, max! But I only do laundry once a week so I plan to have a week's worth of clothing in each size and not a whole lot more.
For 6-12 months, that means, roughly:
7-10 short sleeve onesies
7-10 long-sleeve onesies or t-shirts
A few sweaters or hoodies
4-5 pairs of pants/jeans. I found that he could wear pants more than once at that age. Unless your kid is prone to blowouts, then you want more. Same for onesies.
Sleepers - these are the things I think you can't have enough of. When they get sick and go through 3 pairs of pjs in one night, you will curse yourself for not having enough. I usually had 5 or so in each size and could have used more.
Ha Im so happy you asked this!
