Baby weighs 3 pounds 8 ounces. I have plenty vests and sleepsuits for him but would like "proper" outfits like tops, trousers and dungarees etc but struggling to find anything small enough. Any idea where I can get anything?

Asda George have a preemie range online. Our son was tiny too and got a few bits from there Smile

Although we mainly got him vests and sleep suits etc. Can't remember if they do proper outfits.

Are you on Facebook? Are you on a preemie group?

Verbaudet have a preemie and tiny baby range, but it's mostly babygrows I think. My DS has the babygrows, they're really good quality and fit him well (he's 3.11lbs). Hopefully they're sale is still on!

Stick with simple baby grows and vests, they have such thin skin and low body fat and lie so still that lying on the seam of a pair of trousers just isn't going to be comfortable.

I had some lovely baby grows from John Lewis but we didn't think about clothing until he was out of the incubator and then we had to layer so many on to try and keep his body temperature in the normal range that a nice outfit would have been totally hidden.

I just used Mothercare. My preemie was 3/4 lbs by the time he came home (in late spring) and always wore vest, sleepsuit, cardigan, hat and about a million blankets. No one ever saw his clothes when he was still that small. TBH I was more worried about him getting on the growth chart and being able to self-regulate his own temperature than making any fashion statements.
