Mainly had sleepsuits from Tesco/Sainsbury's and they're okay but don't think they washed brilliantly.

Where have your best ones been from that have washed well and lasted?

Sainsbury's, Boots and JL. I've only had one pack of Boden vests but they seemed very good too.

NymeriaStark · 05/03/2018 16:45

I think sometimes you need to consider spending more on items baby is going to wear lots (and therefore need to be washed frequently). A friend and I were pregnant at the same time and we both stocked up on white vests and babygros. I went to John Lewis and she went to Asda and was horrified I was buying ‘posh’ ones. After a month she’d binned hers as they went all grey and bobbly. My John Lewis ones have done two newborns and still look great.

JoJo and Boden nice for fancy ones and Next ones seemed to fit my DD brilliantly. They also do some fab prints.

God I love babygros! Wish they could wear them forever...

John Lewis they somehow lasted for ages never strunk in the wash unlike Tescos, in fact it was if they stretched with my growing ds. Remained lovely and soft.
Also liked Next for the funky prints and built in scratch mits.

PatchworkElmer · 05/03/2018 16:46

Another one for Next here.

Tobebythesea · 05/03/2018 16:51

Next, M & S, Boots and John Lewis baby grows are great.

mathanxiety · 05/03/2018 16:51

Dunnes in Ireland. They lasted for five DCs. I bought white ones.

bunnyrabbit93 · 05/03/2018 17:10

Next
Asda
Mothercare

Alwayslumpyporridge · 05/03/2018 17:11

John Lewis own brand multi packs

EssentialHummus · 05/03/2018 17:23

Next, Gap, JL. Worst for quality:price was Mori.

Tobebythesea · 05/03/2018 20:09

Morrisons were rubbish. Holes in every babygrow after a few wears!

mommybear1 · 05/03/2018 20:22

Asda - fab and cheap wash really well.
Morrisons - lovely, again wash well
M&S - lovely but more ££
John Lewis - again lovely but ££££
Tesco - good and cheap

covertoperation · 05/03/2018 20:31

Next and M&S washed really well. I loved the vests from Sainsbury's... they are so soft!

buzzmoon · 05/03/2018 21:03

Thanks! Think I'm gonna try John Lewis, although the size guide is smaller than everywhere else- 7.5kg instead of 8kgs for 3 to 6months for example

John lewis, m&s and asda. I didn't like the jojo ones and hated the popper sideways across one leg ones! Actually the mothercare multi packs were quite nice too!

Thunderthunderthundercatshooo · 05/03/2018 21:17

Next and m&s are the best quality I find, but I often buy them from asda for a slightly cheaper option, I got some nice Disney ones from there last week.

Urubu · 05/03/2018 21:18

Petit Bateau is expensive but amazing.

Thedogsmells · 05/03/2018 21:18

Frugi, JoJo and M&S

Eeeeek2 · 05/03/2018 21:20

Frugi (very generous size) and m&s

OriginalGeordie · 05/03/2018 21:30

I always bought next and M&S. The ones we had from Next lasted 3 children and still looked like new when we had finished with them.

RocketPockets · 05/03/2018 21:30

I find next ones really big! They’re lovely and wash very well but my 21 Month DS is still in the 9-12 ones and the 18-24 ones are almost a whole leg length too long. I love JL and white company ones. Some of the JoJo ones have this crossover thing that I could never figure out in the middle of the night but they washed very well!

mehhh · 05/03/2018 21:31

Mamas and papas are good, I've just got some next ones for dds bigger size so I'm excited to try these!

CurlyBlueberry · 05/03/2018 21:33

The BEST ones? Bonds Wondersuits. They do up with ZIPS instead of stupid fiddly poppers. They have the turn-over bits for hands AND FEET so you can use them in warmer weather too. And a great range of fabric. When I had my kids you could only get them from Australia I believe, but you can get them in John Lewis now. Mine also lasted beautifully. PS I promise I don't work for them!!

londonrach · 05/03/2018 21:35

Marks, gap and john lewis wash best!

Mymouthgetsmeintrouble · 05/03/2018 21:36

Next , mothercare and boots i like the next and mothercare fold over mitts saves the faff of scratch mitts

Vibe2018 · 05/03/2018 21:38

I have reallt noce sleepsuits from Asda that have a zip instead of poppers - very handy for quick dressing.
