what size of clothes where your babies in?

[Mumoftwox]

what weight were your babies and what size of clothes did they fit dont know to take tiny baby or newborn.. mixture of both?

I had growth scans fairly often due to GD and was told at each one DS was to be a little chunk so packed some 0-3. We were a little surprised when this little skinny 6lb 14oz dot came out and DH had to go and buy some tiny baby clothes and nappies as everything else swamped him!

DD wss 6 lbs 10 oz and we rolled the sleeves back on tiny baby if I remember correctly she didn't go into newborn until she was about 6 weeks old

I had two big babies. Didn't bother with newborn or first size clothes. Up to a month fitted 9 lbs DS1 for a week and 8.5lbs DS2 for a few weeks. I just went straight to 0-3.

It's confusing because the size varies so much from shop to shop! I brought newborn from Asda and boots for DD1 which lasted about a three weeks and then 0-3 months.

He was 10lb 11oz so in 0-3 months for a couple of weeks then straight into 3-6 months.

6lb 7oz

Was in tiny baby for a couple of weeks, then newborn/0-1 and eventually 0-3 just before 3 months old!

Different brands vary massively. Also I've found boys stuff bigger than girls sometimes. My daughter is 21 months and is mostly in 12-18 and 18-24 size stuff. We still have some 6-9 month jumpers and cardigans in use though!!

9lb but lost quite a bit of weight initially

Newborn and then 0-1m for first month or so, then 0-3m

It depended on the brand though, some newborn say up to 7lb on the label, some say up to 9lb.

He was 7lb8oz and was in tiny baby for 2 weeks then newborn for another 2 weeks

Born on Tuesday 7lbs 9oz and newborn fits perfectly

my kids were 4lb 11oz, 6lb, and 4lb 4oz and they were all in tiny baby clothes and even they were too big!

6.6 and needed tiny baby for about a month! Remember brands vary massively. I found Mothercare enormous, Mamas and Papas didn't do a size small enough for my baby's first month, M&S are roughly correct on size.

6lbs 10 and needed small baby then newborn. We also didn't use all the 0-3 babygrows we'd bought. DD is 4 now and only now wearing age 4-5 clothes, she's always been on the small side.

7lb 1 oz but in tiny and size 0 nappies for 3 weeks. In newborn until about 8-9 weeks old

8lb 1oz and she was in newborn/first size for around the first month.

6lb6oz he's still in newborn a month on. Tiny baby would have fit but we didn't have much and newborn didn't look rediculous.
I think it mainly goes on length so a shorter heavier baby might stay in newborn longer than a longer lighter baby.

Both boys were 10lbs and went straight in to 0-3 stuff. There were a couple of bits of newborn stuff that were given as gifts - I think tu at Sainsbury's that came up slightly bigger and fitted for a couple week.

9lbs 11oz and 57cms & he wore newborn for about 3 weeks then in to 0-3.

Mine were both high 7lbs and were in newborn and up to 1 month.

It’s worth noting that ‘newborn’ is different in different shops - some places newborn is up to 7lb 10oz (or thereabouts) but other places (eg. Mamas & Papas) newborn goes up to 10lb and therefore lasts a lot longer!

All of mine were 8-10lb and were in newborn for a couple of weeks before moving to 0-3.

Newborn for about a month. H&M used to do 0-2 months and 2-4 months baby clothing which was more useful than tiny newborn and too big 0-3. Not sure if they still do.

Glad I opened this, on paper ours is going to be about 7lb, maybe I should nip and get a cheap pack of tiny baby in each of the basics just in case and keep the receipt!

She was 8lb at birth and was in Next first size or newborn elsewhere for about 2 weeks. Then it was up to 1 month size. She didn't go into 0-3 months until she was 6/7 weeks.

10 lbs, 9 lbs 6 and 10 lbs 3 all went straight into 0-3, none fit in anything newborn. DC4 was 8 lbs 5 but we were expecting another huge baby so only bought 0-3, most of it drown him 😑.

#1 6lbs 15oz - 54cm was in tiny baby until about 6 weeks.

#2 7lbs 2oz - 47cm was in tiny baby until about 8 weeks.

DS was 8lbs 1oz and was in newborn for about a week. The thing with him was (and is) that he’s really, really long/tall so while 0-3 was baggy it was good length wise.
