weird question? How do I figure out my child's shoe size

[lockdownmumma123]

ok don't laugh at me if I sound silly here but I'm honestly clueless... FTM here
How do I work out my daughters shoe size!?? she is 6 months and I'm wanting to get her some shoes for her Xmas and we dolly shoes to go with her Xmas outfits ect
can anyone help lol?

Babies don't need shoes until they're on their feet and cruising, at which point you can take them to a shoe shop to have them fitted. No need for a non walking/cruising child to have shoes!

If you have a printer go on the Startrite website. They have a down loadable template that you can use to measure feet.

Baby shoes usually come in ages so 6-12 months she won't fit into proper shoes until she is walking

If it's just to go with a Christmas outfit just get her some soft slipper type ones (they won't stay on though).

Could you look at getting her some ballet shoe style socks instead? That way you wouldn't need to worry about sizing her?

I never buy shoes in advance at any age, it's so hard to predict sizing!

@snowballer
it was mostly we soft shoes for pictures as we have a photo shoot for her and a family photo shoot for Xmas and Halloween 🎃
but she is already moving herself around the house in her Walkie I have baby grows with we grips on the feet for that though

@PastMyBestBeforeDate brilliant thanks very much

you go to clarks and the measure them

Babies don't need shoes - and certainly nothing tight enough to need a specific size. Just get something soft in 6-12.

When she starts cruising she's best in bare feet, or slippers with grips if it's cold. She doesn't need proper shoes until she's been walking about six weeks - just soft moccasins (like Dotty Fish) will be fine.

I'd just get those tights or socks that look like shoes at this age
