Which sizes for sleep suits/bodysuits?

I’m 25+3 with twins and wondering about sizes/ amounts for sleepsuits and bodysuits?

I appreciate there’s no way of knowing yet how big they are going to be, and I don’t know what sizes to get. I’ve got a few things in newborn, but what if they are tiny and they don’t fit?

I had a scan on Tuesday and both twins are currently weighing 1lb 12.

What did everyone else do? Confused first time mother here and need some helpSmile

Mine were 5lb4 abd 5lb8 at birth. I had...

Newborn vests - 10
0-3 month vests - 10

Early baby (up to 7lbs) sleepsuits from next - 6
Early baby (up to 7lbs) sleepsuits from Mothercare - 6
0-3 months sleepsuits - 20.

Mine wore early baby sleepsuits until they were almost 3 months. They were tiny for a long time then all of a sudden by 6 months had caught up.

Mine are 5 now and the height of a average 7 year old.

Mine came at 34 weeks at 3lb15 and 4lb9. They were in tiny baby (mothercare and Tesco) for two weeks. Then newborn/first size for three weeks (Sainsburys, next). Then up to 1 month (Sainsburys).

If they're unexpectedly small/early mothercare do free next day delivery of premie sizes.

I aim for 16 vests and 16 sleepsuits in each size (depending on how many come in multipacks) plus four cardis, two hats, six swaddles and a dozen pairs of socks.

Plus many muslins.

Thank you everyone. Atm I’ve mainly got stuff in new born and some 0-3. Sounds like I’ll have to invest in some early baby to be on safe side.

I actually got a baby bundle from eBay yesterday advertised as tiny baby, but when it came they were all newborn sizesAngry
