CD/longies + dressing a newborn

Okay, so I'm still three months out from my due date, but I got out my stash of newborn clothes anyway. What can I say, I was already switching DS's clothes from summer to winter.

I didn't CD with DS, so I have no idea about CDing a newborn. I'm planning to do mostly PFs and either PUL covers and wool longies/bubbles. Obviously with the PUL covers you dress them the same, but what do you do with longies? Do you just get long-sleeve tees? DD will be a winter baby so I'm worried that her top and midriff will be cold. esp since I won't be able to tuck the shirts into her longies. When I looked through  my stash of clothes, basically all I have for the 0-6 month age is onsies and sleepers (plus a few cute outfits). I guess  if I got shorties instead of longies I could just put a roomy sleeper over it. Anyway, how do you dress a newborn/infant with wool?

I don't know what other people do for newborns in wool... but I plan on making our next babe a few pairs of overallies if we have a winter baby. Oh so cute!

Wool overalls sounds good, except does that cause wicking? I guess I could put a round of elastic at the waist to keep the shirt and PFs separate. Or maybe I just need to make my longies with a high panel (like maternity pants) so that even if her shirts ride up a bit her tummy is still covered?

Wool overalls! I've never seen that?! Someone have a picture?

We didn't use our newborn longies a lot since DD was born in June, but when we did, we just put a t-shirt on her with them.  This fall we've been putting her in longies and long sleeve t-shirts.

We did have a pair of overalls for DS.  My mom made them and we didn't have any issues with wicking.

although we did have some wool wraps which you can put "regular" clothes over.

Originally posted by SunflowerMommy My last dd was a January baby and we did a lot of dresses with her longies to keep her tummy covered.  Zutano has adorable dresses in a ton of cute prints.  You're pretty much sure to find something to match your wool.

I was thinking about this as an option too! It wouldn't work with a boy, but hey, I'm having a girl so I might as well live it up, right? Of course, I wasn't planning on buying an entirely new newborn wardrobe--the things we do to CD.
