First time mother here.

I'm be"H going to the US soon. (I live in Israel.) I would like to buy clothes for my 1 year old to wear this year. I need some help with amounts of clothes. I do not have a drier. In the summer, this is not such a problem b/c things dry quickly. In the winter, it can take more than a day.

So, how much of everything should I get for her? I plan on visiting a gemach, so I could go a little bit overboard, but I don't want to end up w/ too much of something and missing something else. She's currently crawling and standing. I am hoping her clothes will get less dirty and worn when she starts walking. She's going to go to "gan" (babysitter), so she needs to look somewhat presentable. (In the house, I usually just have her in a onsie.)

Without a dryer, in the winter, I liked to have about 9-10 outfits. At that age, they sometimes change twice and there are times that it can take 2-3 days for clothing to dry.
