All tights too big for baby dd

[cupcake78]

Any suggestions where to get smaller tights?

The feet and ankles in all tights are just too baggy and look very silly.

She's 6 weeks. 10lbs but even first size are baggy on her.

Why does she need rights in this weather. By the time it gets cold enough for tights she will have grown

She's 6 weeks so probably not too worried about looking silly yet. Maybe try babygro/ leggings though in this weather maybe too hot for anything.

I think you will struggle to get tights that are a good fit on a six week old baby. Maybe ditch the tights till she's older.

I got premature baby tights off our local market for DD at that age (autumn baby)

do you live in the UK? It really isnt tights weather.

Leggings over a vest was dds staple at that age.

It's chilly some days and she has alot of summer dresses that she could wear with tights and long sleeve vests/cardigan. Socks lead to cold knees.

If you are really struggling inbox me your address and I will post you the pair I got for my dd. they are not the nicest in the world but they have only been worn twice and are cream. They are not wool so better for this weather

I know exactly how you feel- last year i was the same! I got baby premature tights for my dd on eBay (they were from an ebay shop and were new) DD was born at 7lb 10 and I got the 5-7lb ones and they were still quite big- probably fitted her properly once she was around 9lb!

Try mothercare tiny baby range

I doubt she will get cold knees in August , I really would not bother with tights.

Look for leggings + socks rather than tights.

It's probably a sign that she's too small to be wearing tights at that age tbh. Babygrow is fine if it's chilly. Comfort first.

What about the leggings with integral feet? They sell them in mothercare. DD could wear them with the dresses if you really want.

Goodness, really wouldn't faff around with tights at that age. Or dresses for that matter.

i had the same problem when dd was born, a friend gave me this tip:
put a pair of socks ontop of the tights :) it looks ok and hides that the tights are too small :)

So glad I had boys and never had to faff around with tights. Babygros all the way.

I really really would not be faffing around with tights and dresses at that age. She has the rest of her childhood to be wearing warm itchy tights and dresses will ride up underneath her in the pram / carseat etc.

At this age it was babygros all the way for both of mine, with a lightweight cardi for chillier days (and socks underneath the babygro on colder days)

Leggings or baby leg warmers.

The upto one month sizes should be fine as they usually max out at 10lb.
Wikinsons do them.

Try gap for leggings with feet.

I have two boys so managed to avoid the whole tights issue - but personally I hate wearing tights (always feel they're falling down - used to have to wear another pair of pants on top (superman style) to keep them up) so I'd never put them on a baby.

Nothing wrong with leggings and tops (but I admit I'm not a girly girl :-)

My son is 10 weeks and he spends nearly everyday in either sleepsuits or rompers (if its warm)

Miaow everyone knows mumsnet babies wear babygros exclusively until the age of 17 at least

I have always found that I need to buy rights a size or two down to fit my DD! H&M is the best place I found, I think they have a 0-2 month size which is on the small side. Agree that leggings make a good substitute if tights are too big.

Actually, Miaouw, the lack of tights in the small size the OP requires would indicate that tights are not thought of for babies this young. That plus the fact that there are more comfortable outfits out there means OP is given suggestions for alternatives as none of us have seen teeny tiny tights!

Nothing to do with our sense of what OP's baby should be wearing.

Unless the idea behind this thread was that we all started knitting small tights??
