Short answer: There’s no single right number of baby bodysuits. Your needs depend mainly on how often you do laundry, how many extra changes your baby needs each day, and how quickly your baby outgrows a size. It’s often better to start with a manageable number and add more as needed than to buy a lot in the same size in advance.
What determines how many bodysuits you need?
- how often the family does laundry
- how often the baby needs changing because of milk, spit-up, or diapers
- whether the bodysuit is worn alone or as a base layer
- how quickly the baby outgrows clothes
Why shouldn’t you buy too many in the same size?
Babies can outgrow clothes quickly. If you buy a lot in advance, some bodysuits may become too small before they’ve been worn much.
How do you build a practical basic wardrobe?
Think in terms of a rotation: enough for regular daily changes, a few spares, and time for washing and drying. Then add more once you know what works for your everyday routine.
Should all the bodysuits be the same type?
Not necessarily. A mix of short and long sleeves can offer flexibility, depending on the temperature and other layers. See Short-sleeved or long-sleeved baby bodysuit?.
Frequently asked questions
Should you buy lots of bodysuits before the baby is born?
There’s no need to buy a large stock in one size. Start with a practical amount and add more once your baby’s size and your family’s laundry routine become clearer.
How many sizes should you buy in advance?
It depends on your needs and preferences. If you want to understand the sizes first, see our baby bodysuit size guide.
