What did your babies weigh and what size clothes were they in?

[user1485957930]

Hello, when born Ds1 was 7lb1 and Ds2 7lb9 and both were in first size/tiny baby clothes as newborn size swamped them massively when born. Nine years on and I'm expecting Ds3 and have been told he's measuring a week ahead. So what im asking is what size clothes do I pack for him in my hospital bag? I've brought the sweetest little coming home outfit and I'm afraid it won't fit.
(Sorry if this thread is in the wrong catagory I'm new)

8lb 7 and 7lb 14.
I had a few 'newborn' outfits, but both children were long and packed on weight quickly so we were very quickly in 0-3. Bit baggy but fine!

My DS was 8 pound and 4 oz.
All the newborn clothes we bought were too small and most of the 0-3 months i found too big! I'd take a mixture of sixes 😊

DD was 8lbs at birth and 7.3 at 4 days. Newborn/0-1month for around a month. She was around 9lbs at that stage.

6lb 12 wore tiny baby stuff for ages

7lb wore new baby stuff but was quite long so didn't stay in them very long.

8lb 2.5 wore newborn stuff to start with but quickly grew into 0-3 stuff in a few weeks.

8 pounds and 6 oz - straight into up to 1 month if I remember rightly!

I'm wishing I hadn't got so much in small sizes now 😂 oops xx

6lb 6oz - nothing we brought fitted him! DM went out and got some tiny baby clothes.

9lb ... she was in 0-3 months for 10 days. Thankfully most people knew we'do have a big baby (I was 10lb and both OH and I are tall) so had bought 3 months + as gifts

My 7lb 14oz was in new born. My 7lb DS2 was in tiny/early baby nappies and clothes for a good few weeks and they fitted perfectly, newborn swamped him. Babies in illfitting clothes is my pet hate.
He is now 10 weeks and 9lb 8oz and he's in up to 1 month and a few 0-3 months.
My sister was 10lb 6oz and in 0-3 months. HTH

DD- 8lb 15oz Also measured big so I mainly bought 0-3 months to the hospital. It absolutely swamped her.

DS- 9lb 13oz I thought I'd learned my lesson with DD so mainly bought newborn and a couple of 0-3. He was so long he didn't fit in newborn at all . We had a couple of bits to fit him at first and then DH had to go home and get more!

My two ds were both 9lb-ers and were still in newborn for at least a few weeks. I found they usually skip a stage later on, ds1 missed out 3-6 and ds2 missed out 6-9

9lb 6oz - was in 0-3 straight away as he was also long.

Newborn clothes didn't even go near him -thankfully I had only bought one newbirn outfit
