First baby due in Jan and am a bit confused by the way different shops size their vests and sleep suits ("New Born" / "First Size" / "0-3 months" etc). This is what I have so far in the vest / sleep suit department:
5 x George long sleeve vests - 1st size - up to 9lbs
7 x Mothercare short sleeve vests - 1 mth - up to 10lbs
5 x George short sleeve vests - 0-3mths - up to 12lbs
4 x M&S long sleeve vests - 0-3mths - up to 13 lbs
6 x George sleep suits - 1st size - up to 9lbs
6 x Next sleep suits - up to 1 - up to 10lbs
So... I don't have much under 9lbs. If baby is 7 or 8 lbs, can you still put them in 9lbs / 10lbs vests and sleep suits or will they be drowning in them?
And do babies need to wear vests underneath their sleep suits during the winter months, or will that be too many layers? And if so - are long or short sleeve vests best under sleep suits?
Complete newbie to all this , so any help much appreciated!! Thank you!
