If you're having a late winter/early spring baby...

Are you going to get a coat/jacket for the baby? If so, will it be more of a winter one or a spring one? This just occurred to me, and I am not sure what to do. I was in Kohl's before and they had some cute spring jackets (but very few in NB sizes) and then they had snow suits, which I know will be too much.

Our car seat came with a Bundle-me type thing- I wonder if that and a thick blanket will be sufficient? Thoughts?

I was thinking about this also.... My son was born June 1st so I didn't have to deal with a coat.

I need to look into the Bundle Me. I remember seeing coats that were like sleep sacks that had a cut out so the carseat buckle could come through.

Someone bought me a bunting and I got the bundle me and bundle me lite which I think with a blanket will be just fine.

My SIL uses the bundle me and a blanket and puts a hat on him and he's always all warm and cozy.

We had gotten a few coats and they are just too much of a hassle to put on and off so I returned them and stuck with the bundle me. It keeps her really warm and once we are inside I just unzip it and she's dressed appropriately!

I'm not too sure what I'm gonna do. I'm having my c/s on March 2. My daughter was born on November 19, and it was such a pain to put a newborn in a coat, so I would put her in regular, but warm clothes, and bundle her with a few blankets and a hat obviously. It was a lot easier.
