Babies grow out of clothes so fast so I definitely wouldn't buy anymore.

But you may want to get 2-3 more crib sheets. Do you have a crib protector sheet? It goes under the sheet in case baby has an accident (which they will, it's inevitable). Make sure you have 1-2 of those. Walmart sells them. I have two so that if one gets dirty I have the second one available while the other is washing.

Thanks Joy....I got all the stuff as gifts (well almost all...I did buy like 3 of the outfits...) so I haven't bought anything and I guess we won't buy any more (although I saw the CUTEST) little monkey outfit at Walmart the other day!!!  I just might have to get it!

I DO have 2 of the crib protector sheets they are rubbery on one side and quilted on the other...I also have one large crib pad and two smaller ones that don't cover the entire crib but a fair portion (like under the baby).

STUPID QUESTION...does the rubber side go down?  I got mine from a friend so I don't have the package...I was thinking of putting the protector sheet down, then the sheet on top and then the 'pad' on the sheet...I got the pads at babies r us (well, my mom got them for me...)

Here's something that was a crib sheet SAVER for me!!  I bought the quilted "changing pads" in larger sizes and tucked those tight on TOP of the sheet but under Sarah.  That way if she spit up or soaked a diaper, I only had to change out the quilted pad but not the entire sheet (those are a PAIN to switch out...I think!)  :)  The pads were about the size of a receiving blanket...didn't cover the whole crib but covered where she slept.  Make sense?

[JoyRenee]

I have the kind that is fabric (no plastic on the other side). The plastic side does go down, to protect the mattress, whereas the fabric side will absorb any poo, pee, or spitup.

AMy0013 is right....Now they make sheet protectors that tie on either side of the crib......So it's so easy to change if there is an accident....spit up or other.....Also, you already have them I know...but the long sleeved onesies are a pain in the neck...I had bought a ton of them (baby was born in Dec. in NY...so it's COLD)....and I never used any of them...darn it.....You might want more short sleeved onesies too.....I put him in one during the day and a clean one at night and do his laundry every 3 days....so I go thru them pretty fast......Other than that....sounds like you're good to go!  

Oh yeah, My mattress protector pad goes on with the fabric side up....so it's softer.....

[Whitneylauren]

Wow.... I guess I really over buy for my babies! I have way more clothing than that for my new baby boy!
With the large amount of clothing a baby goes through in a day I think a higher amount of clothing is always better. Joy is right, babies do grow fast, but they all develop at different rates. My son was very small and wore his clothing for months longer than it specified. Pj's, it think, you can never have enough of them. I also think you are going to need more body suits because your baby will poo through the ones she is wearing almost daily.

I only have 2 crib sheets, but I stay at home and have no issue cleaning and replacing them immediately.

[KellyA74]

I have a ton of clothes too.....and Whitney is right when she says that you go thru alot of them in a day....My little guy was 5 lbs. 11oz. and at nearly 3 months old can still wear some newborn sizes and some of the 0-3 months are too big....So we've definately gotten our use out of everything.......

Oh yeah, I guess I might have the mattress pad on upside down.....Joy puts hers on the other way!  oops.

Def get some more crib sheets. I don't have any sheet protecters, but they may not help me now! Julian flips and flops all night long, bu they would have been great earlier!  I reccomend tons of bodysuites. They are always pooped and peed through! hehe. Im sure you have enough to start and if you see that you need more then get more but every baby is different and I cant see spending the extra money for something you may not use, but thats just me.

Also try to keep in consideration the seasons when buying baby clothes (I'm sure you have).  
And i'd say 2 more crib sheets, you'll be washing them so much that they'll wear out fast.
I may sound like my mom (ugh I hate it) but make sure that you have enough socks or booties since they are soo tiny they get lost fast and baby takes them off etc.  I don't like to see babies with their feet bare unles its summer.

The plastic side goes down.
