If you had an absolute cart horse of a baby, which clothing brands worked for you?

I am having a nightmare with 6mo DD. I thought her older sisters were chunky at this stage but she's built like a silverback gorilla and everything is tight on her She's the same height as her twin brother, who is 25th centile for weight. She is top centile - 99.6th, to give you some comparison.

Height-wise, they are just coming into 6-9m clothes, but they're too tight around the abdomen for poor DD so I'm having to put her in 12-18m clothes to give her enough breathing room. But... She started crawling a couple of weeks ago and is getting incredibly frustrated with the trouser situation (and I am forever rolling up her sleeves). Vests the right depth are about 3" too long for her...

The best fit so far is Jojo, though it's pricey. I can't get her into most supermarket brands I've tried (Tesco, Sainsbury's, ASDA, Morrisons). Are there any wide but not long sizings anywhere that are worth trying?

Boots. I found their stuff suitably generous for my 2. And good quality and not too crazy on price, especially when doing their many deals.

Baby grows and vests especially worked well for them. I have fond memories of them in their little baby outfits from boots!

Another vote here for second hand Frugi. eBay can get pricey but there are some good second hand Facebook groups. Try searching for FUNAP.

Also agree that Sainsbury's comes up massive. I don't think next does though, always found it quite true to size.

frugi (eBay?)

But tbh I would just buy really cheap suits & chop off any extra length - they are made of jersey (the stretchy T-shirtmaterial) so they won’t fray

@RoLaren gorgeous! 😍
