Or how much of it you’ll go through when you’re dealing with spit-up, blowouts, and mid-change meltdowns.
And the weather. Honestly, let's put babies in footie jammies 24/7. But then, what kinda math sorcery do I need to calculate how many I need? 6/
I know how to look at hundreds of spreadsheets and synthesize what’s best for my family. So I buckled up and started doing what I do best: build stuff with millions of data points. I built a planner for 0–12M baby clothes based on weather + laundry.

And don’t even get me started about snaps. Snap-bottom onesies nearly broke me. 3/
I started out trying to get him “ready for the day.” Because I watched a GRWM mom influencer tiktok (thanks pp hormones on steroids and middle of the night feeds). Well, that was a game of wrestlemania topped with diaper roulette that I am not gonna play anymore.
