Babygrows for long legs

[Stillmonday]

My baby is only a week old and weighs just over 7 lb but his legs are really long so newborn sizes are too short but bigger sizes swamp him.

Any idea where sells newborn sizes for long legs???!

I always found next babygrows came with long legs

Or go footless and add socks. H&M have quite a few without feet- can’t think of anywhere else off the top of my head...

1st time round I cared, second time I've sized up to 3-6 because he needs the length and completely ignored the width issue. Mothercare and Next are the last 0-3s standing.

Tights under footless can work but struggling to get sensible sized tights for scrawny legs. Never managed to keep socks on 1st child - I have 1 sock on which probably says it all. This time I have found too long socks (up to knee) seem to stay on better, but have no idea what size they are allegedly as all too small for DD socks now "belong" to DS!

I was also going to say get footless ones and put socks on him.

This is the perfect excuse to buy Slugs and Snails tights with dinosaurs on. They work as leggings, as the pattern goes all the way up. My kids are sadly too big now.

I cut the feet open, then put socks on top. Solved the problem til their bodies caught up to their legs.

Next and M&S seem to have longer lengths.
It is so annoying. DS is slim with long legs. So if I size up they be hanging off him and too long in the arms. I have bought him some pyjamas. We got a lot of babygros as gifts though so wanted to use them.

I bought footless (or cut feet off) and put socks on. Now he’s a bit older he wears leggings or dungarees with socks during the day and footless pyjamas at night.

Mothercare do a very handy size of “up to one month 10lb”. These fitted my new born 9 pounder very well.

Next

I found Next short! I liked Boden really good for length

I have found Mothercare to be the best for longer legs and also footless using the next size up socks

Primark are good for long and slim. They always seem to be on the slim size, so buy 0-3 months.

I find mothercare really short!

Boots were good for long length..

I got loads of extra wear by cutting the feet off and using socks. You can sew socks onto the ends if you have time or a helpful granny.

I WOULN’T recommend Next for this. Mine was a 6lber and gained perfectly normally (so not big) but was out of their newborn quickly because his feet used to stretch the feet on the babygrows.
Footless are probably the way to go.
