Coming home outfit

[undecidedowl]

I'm getting fixated on picking a coming home outfit for DS2. Any cute suggestions? It will be October so cool weather and a sleeper sounds easy but I haven't seen anything I love.

My kids both came home in the same pink skeleton sleeper Are you due around Halloween or earlier in the month?

[redheadk]

How about a Janie & Jack one piece?

I was spending too much time debating this, but everything I really liked was more than I was willing to spend.  So I bought this at Target and am giving it no more thought!

Due Oct 30th! DS1 came early so I'm hoping to have him by Halloween. I have been debating buying a skeleton sleeper!

Our going home outfit was a massive fail. I picked out two really cute outfits, one boy and one girl since we were team green. Both newborn size. And DD was so little that it was massive on her. So her going home "outfit" ended up being a plain grey preemie onesie, lol.

*poof*

I was due the 27th with DD1 and had her on the 29th (we went home on Halloween). Due the 29th with DD2 and had her the 30th and went home on 11/1 (but she wore the sleeper on Halloween too!)

Aw, it looks cute in the shadow box though!

I love this!

The skeleton sleeper idea is so cute!

She came home in a sleeper. What about something like this? It's cute and cozy but not necessarily a sleeper.

I love the little outfits like that but I wasn't sure if I would feel like I had to bring socks to go with it? Like all of the old ladies would pop out of nowhere to gasp if I just covered him in a blanket and skipped socks lol.

Don't overthink it.
Coming home outfits are special because of the event, not because of the outfit themselves, kwim?

DD wore a thin green/orange/white striped sleeper with a little jacket over it. Someone one gifted it to us and I thought it was the cutest so I used it...ha.

DS wore a fuzzy red and white sleeper with a bear on it. He was born 3 days after Valentine's Day and it was $2.99 at Target. It was also cute and worked. Also looks good in his shadow box.

So get what you want and don't worry about it.

DS was born in Oct and we left the hospital 10/25 in New England. Not freezing, but he needed something on his feet & head.

We had this set - we were team green so I had a boy version & girl version ready to go

I liked the onsie, footed pants and cardigan. October could have been freezing or warm. He also wore a hat & I put a blanket over him for the ride.

I brought a newborn sized sleeper. DD was super long and we had to stuff her in it to get her home. Looking back, we should have just kept her in a onesie (but she was a summer baby).

I'm obsessed with these sets and will probably buy one once we find out the sex.  They're super soft.

Particularly this one, because cookies.

FWIW, I never even got a picture of DS in his going home outfit, other than what you can see behind his carseat straps.

We used a sleeper. Outfits are difficult to get newborns in IMO and they usually fit poorly (sleepers do too but they are easier to put on).

We used this one from HA + a navy hat for C.

[osulori]

I brought three outfits to the hospital, but only used two. A sleeper for his Bella Baby newborn pics, and a onesie and pants to go home in (in July) with his widdle baybee hospital hat.

DD came home on July 4. I had a cute Stars and Stripes dress from Baby Gap that I put her in but it was gigantic and probably not super comfortable so she was back in something soft soon after.

Oh there are a lot of cute gender neutral outfits there.... it's a good thing I didn't know they existed 10 months ago!

I may or may not have put one or two in my cart for #2 (someday).
