Newborn (birth to six months) clothing checklist
This article provides a list of clothing your newborn will need to keep him/her happy and comfortable!

Before you go out and spend a truckload on clothes for your newborn, consider that clothing is a common gift at baby showers or to celebrate the birth of your child. You may also be blessed with hand-me-downs from older siblings, friends, or family. While you want the best for your child, they could care less if they are wearing Baby Polo or their cousin's clothes that don't fit anymore. Your baby will grow fast, and may only get to wear an outfit once or twice before they outgrow it or seasons change.
This list will provide you with a good start for what your newborn (birth to six months) will require for clothing.
Onesies (4 to 6)
Pants (2-3 pairs)
Pajamas and/or body bags (4 to 6)
Short-sleeve bodysuits with snaps at the crotch (4 to 6)
Sweaters (1-2)
Winter coat and/or Snowsuit (during winter months)
Mittens (2 pairs during winter months)
Booties or socks (4 to 6 pairs)
Hats (2 to 3)
Receiving blankets (3 to 5)
Crib blankets (2)
Stroller or car seat blanket
Diapers (10-12 per day for newborns)
Burp cloths (2-3)
Shoes are cute as an ornament or decoration, but aren't necessary until the baby is close to walking age.
If you ''inherit'' hand-me-down clothing, make sure you are clear with the donor whether they want the clothing back when your baby is done with it. If they would like it back, it is easy to create a spreadsheet on the computer containing an inventory of where clothing is to be returned when it is outgrown.
