Sumer Clothes in Phoenix for Baby Born in June

This is kind of an odd question, but our second baby is due in June. Our first child was born in mid-September in the Midwest, so his first few months were spent mostly in cute sleepers during the day. As I was pulling out his old clothes for the next baby, I realized this may not work. So, my question is, in Phoenix, with the air conditioning indoors and super-hot outside, what is the typical daily wardrobe for a baby? Also, at night, are sleep-sac - type P.J.'s still usable? Are all my cute sleepers (long sleeve and feet in them) pretty much useless unless I want to use them for nighttime?

What can I do next?

We keep our air cool so I use the sleepers and gowns and bundle him. I had two babies in May and two in October in Phoenix, I currently just had my 5th in April. I keep them bundled when the air is down but just put them in onesies when it's warm or we go outside. I will keep them in onsies but then I'll cover them with a blanket if the car air conditioning is cool etc. I still get cold in the summer because stores etc. keep their air conditioning very cold. You'll still need those long sleeved stuff at times, I'm sure. Congratulations!

You will be wearing shorts and tanks, inside and out, so dress your baby similarly. Tees and super lightweight pants are okay if inside all day, but way too warm if heading outside in AZ summer. You're better off with shorts, tanks, onesies alone, sleeveless rompers or dresses if a girl, skip the socks after the first few weeks, especially since the baby will be swaddled or will have a blanket either on or always available.
My daughter was born in April and we used lightweight footed, longsleeved sleepers plus a swaddle blanket, transitioning to a lightweight Sleep-Sack, all summer long.
You don't want to overdress your baby, especially in the extreme heat, but you also don't want to underdress the baby at night or they will be uncomfortable and not sleep well.
Congratulations on your upcoming new arrival!

If your needing to get baby clothes just wanted to let you know that on Friday & Saturday(4/30-5/1) the Mom's group of Happy Valley and Deer Valley Village (along with other moms) are doing a resale of kids clothing. It is Friday evening 6-9 and Saturday morning til mid day. Not sure what time. The sale will be on 39th & Happy Valley on the SW corner. I got a cute dress for my daughter for $1.50 and last year I got a jogging stroller for $50. They have other baby related items like strollers and stuff.
Just thought I would help out and share.

Whatever you wear should be your guide. If it is shorts weather, then a shorts outfit is appropriate for baby too. For bedtime the baby won't have a blanket except to swaddle when they are infants, so we had ours in longsleeved jammies (layettes). Baby won't need outfits with feet in them during the day unless your house is really cold. We would however keep a receiving blanket with us to take into restaurants which would be really chilly in the summer.
