Baby clothes advice

Hi all,
My 6 month old DD is small weight wise but seems to be long in the body. I've moved her up to size 6-9 mth clothes but the shoulders/neck are too wide (flap about, fall off shoulders) but the bodies are close to not being long enough on vests or sleep suits.

Any recommendations for brands that do longer bodied baby clothes?

H&M
John Lewis

Oh yes H&M is a good call.
I have some John Lewis bits, they are the same length in the body as Sainsbury's TU and other supermarket ones (although much nicer quality).

My very long baby turned into a very tall child. H&M is pretty good all the way, back in the day (he’s 9 now) John Lewis stuff was very slim fitting , so a size or 2 up for the body length would not be too baggy.

Interested in this thread?

I agree H&M are vey long in the body, my 7 month old is in 9-12 and 12-18 in Next and Supermarket brands but H&M 6-9

For bodysuits you can get vest extenders on amazon or ebay for a few pounds - great for making bodysuits last on long bodies.

Thanks @december212 I'd never heard of extenders! Great idea.

John Lewis has really long bodysuits. I had to return the ones I bought as they were stupidly long.
