Our friends were very generous with their presents and we had a lot of infant clothes gifted to us. However, after the little Boo was born, we realised that there were some items of clothing that we did not use at all.
1. Some newborn-sized clothes. Some newborn-sized clothes are very small, and we did not use them at all as it was easier to put on a bigger outfit for little Boo. I also loved clothes that I did not need to pull over my baby's head.
2. We also hardly used the items with long sleeves as Boo gets hot easily.
3. We did not use the pants at all. We usually just dress him in a diaper and a top, or a diaper and a onesie. As mentioned, he gets hot easily.
4. We hardly used socks, and did not use mittens at all. This is actually quite unusual, and not initially intended on purpose. We had lots of socks and mittens for Boo, but he actually managed to find a way to kick off the socks and take off the mittens mere minutes after we put them on him (we tried smaller sizes and all but nothing seemed to stay on).
This is just our experience with Boo. Other babies may have a less tolerance for cold and want/need to be covered up more. What I found terribly annoying was the number of people who came up to us (when we were out) to tell us that our baby was not sufficiently covered up. He was already perspiring in the light clothing that we dressed him in. Babies are not all the same and one should really just go with the needs/preferences of their babies. There is no one fixed formula for all.
