I’ll be using cloth diapers for burp cloths instead of receiving blankets, so I won’t be going thru as many of them but will still use them for laying him down on the couch or floor, swaddling, naps, to prop up his head.. etc. Obviously they are going to get spit-up on them, but it’s not what I’ll be reaching for when I go to burp him… So how many do you think I’ll need?? As is, I’ve got about 20 or so. Is this more than enough?

This was also posted in "Newborn & Baby" but I thought I’d try a different group to see if I get different answers…

I would like to dye burp cloths and onesies for a baby shower gift. I am assuming RIT dye would not be a good choice to use as they could be too harsh for a baby. Any thoughts on how to go about this?? I have never made natural dyes from plants and teas, but would be interested if anyone knows about this. Thank you.

Is there anything I need more of? Less of? Missing? (This is just a clothing / diaper list for the first year, not lotions, car seats toys etc). Also I didn’t put bibs on my list, but my mom says I should? If so how many and what size? I will be breastfeeding and using the wrong sized diapers as burp cloths.
I need to try to buy everything for the first year before they are born for financial and other reasons (such as baby shower gifts). This is for twins, so 2 babies, likely born weighing 5 pounds each.
Hmmm I heard you need lots of extra outfits when they are under 6 months because they spit up and drool a lot? I think this is why my mom says I need bibs. I thought the coat might get dirty when they crawl around at the playground and I might need a spare while it is washing?

We do have a washer and dryer, but I am hoping to get away with only doing laundry twice a week. If I can’t then I can’t, but that is what I am trying to aim for. ;)
Really want to try to get as much as possible now, but if I stick to layering I can use things out of season. For instance short sleeved onsies, a regular sleeper and a coat over them during winter? I am concerned about them being in the wrong season, but here in the south most days are warm and winter is 3 months long. If I have to go out and get smaller /larger coats I can do that. But for instance today I bought 50 outfits for at a fantastic yard sale, including a 6-12 month coat for {content}.75.
For seasons I am trying to estimate by their due date, not their actual birthdays,so hopefully they will be close to the right size. As long as the clothes are not completely unwearable for the season, they will be able to wear them at some point! ;)

i knew that i needed to keep my baby really bundled up when he was little but is it the same with a toddler. the weather today is 3 degrees . so what would be really proper clothing for a 24 month old who would be outside for 5 minutes at the most between car and building.
of course i would have a hat,jacket,gloves,shoes and of course cloths but i was told i needed him to have boots not shoes on and snow pants on.

Baby shower?




My friend is having a baby shower. I saw awhile back in a magazine a "baby tree" that you could make. It had baby bottles, cloths, toys, etc. on the tree. Does anyone know where I can find a picture and directions on how to make this or something similar?
