My 5mo is so fat I can't find clothes to fit!

[amigoingabitcrazy]

What the title says really. She's wonderfully healthy according to the doctor and not overfed. She was breastfed on demand for 4 months and is drinking the right amount of formula for her age now! I live in quite a small town and we have a H&M next and Debenhams but I can't find babygrows/leggings that her legs fit into without being rediculously long! All in one coats don't fit so I have to wrap her in lots of warm blankets to leave the house and can't get her out the pram without struggling. At the moment she lives in 9-12 months baggy pjs. Does anyone know any brands I can buy from online that might fit? I'm reluctant to keep ordering things and sending them back I seem to live in the post office!

Fear not, she'll probably go up next, and grow into her tummy DS seems to go from Winston Churchill to a string bean and back regularly!

Can we get a picture of the little chubster?

Thank you for all the great suggestions everyone will definitely take a good look at them all when I get some peace and quiet after bed time!

In regard to the percentiles she's made her own line above 99.6th oops and she is wonderfully squashable!

Rolls upon rolls!

Also I loved soft woolen dungerees on mine

These are lovely and stretchy

Aw love that squidge! I had a similar shaped baby.

Tuppence and Crumble star wrap as mentioned above.

Jojo is generously sized in the legs. Next might be, can't remember? Avoid anything French or Spanish and avoid H&M. American stuff might work (eg there is quite a bit of Carter in TK Maxx usually)

I found DD was best off in tunics or dresses with tights or knitted leggings (like the ones from Jojo or Blade & Rose). Trousers were too tight round the tummy. Dungarees might work but only if stretchy, the non stretchy ones just pop open at the bum.

She has now slimmed out at 21 months - still has large cheeks and tum though!

Super squishy

good lord so many rolls! That is one lovely baby!

Stuff designed for cloth nappies should work!

Also, older second hand stuff as the tummies stretch out but the legs and arms shrink. Ebay is good, look for bundles.

Primark baby stuff is surpisingly alright.

Frugi and blade and rose - both designed for cloth nappiesso cut generously. Expensive though so how about eBay. Then again I bought a few bits from frugi this week in their sale.

love frugi.com

No help here as I had refluxy babies who struggled to gain weight but I just wanted to say she's GORGEOUS. I always felt a bit sad my two never had those gorgeous wee squishy legs.

Oh my she is so squishy! 😍😍😍😍
