Dressing newborns for Arizona weather in March? -

I am from Michigan moving to Tucson, AZ in January. I have twins due at the end of March, early April and have no idea what season of clothes they can wear in newborn size and 0-3 month size. Do they need warm clothes, or is it summer clothes year round? Are blanket sleepers too much for night time?

in March its usually around 85, so the babies wont need jackets or anything like that. maybe onsies and light pants. you ll be able to get a feel for the temps before the babies are born so you ll know what to do. And congratulations!! :)

Let me tell you a story. A woman in San Diego walked into our doctor s office. The baby was crying. It was her turn to see the doctor. The doctor came out of the back room. She asked, Why is my baby crying? The doctor said, It s 84 degrees outside and you have her bundled up for a ski trip while you are wearing a tank top and shorts. Wouldn t you think she would be more comfortable if she were dressed like you? Mom balked a little, but finally got the idea. THE BABY WAS HOT!We all have built in thermometers which our babies commonly share. Let s use our common senses here.
