Longest sleepsuits/bodysuits

Before I go on a trawl comparing sizes across websites, does anyone know who makes long bodied/legged sleepsuits/bodysuits?

My 6 week old is 99th percentile for height but I feel a bit weird transferring her into 3-6 month clothes already! Plus they would be too wide I think

Go footless and put tights or socks on.

My 4 month old is 99th centile for height. Footless works for a while but the body gets small sooner or later.

My sons in 6-9month clothes. Just put your baby in clothes that fit, surely?

Lupilu from Lidl are really long and are lovely organic cotton, if you can get them. They are not always in store.

I always found Sainsbury’s to be a bit longer than the same size in other shops.

@Letsallscreamatthesistene ok that makes me feel better - for some reason it just felt a bit odd to change sizes quite this early! I already have a tall DD but I think this one is going to be even taller!

In Europe the sizes are done by height/length! So 3-6 months is just "68". Most UK labels also list the started height on them so go by this.

H&M are quite slim.

And sainsbury yes. Boots are also a bit longer.

Morrisons clothes are massive - my 1 year old is still wearing some 6-9 month stuff from there.

As pp said, just dress them in clothes that fit and don't get hung up on sizes. My baby is always in the size down in most brands because she's small.

Another vote for sainsbury's for long and slim. But i also ignore the age brackets. One of mine was in 3-6m clothes at almost a year old, and another of mine was in 3-6m by 8 weeks... it is what it is! They're all different.

I find John Lewis, next and Jojo to be quite big, Tesco’s and primark small. Put your baby in the size that fits and don’t worry about it 🙂

I just got some from Sainsbury's that are definitely longer than the age they're for.

Also - my son grows out of sleep suits much quicker than anything else. He's 7mo and in 9-12 sleep suits and a mix of 3-6 and 6-9 for everything else.
