Newborn clothes

[Sunnytimes04]

Hi, ftm here was just reading a different post about what to pack for hospital bag and loads of people said not to use 0-3 months because of being to big....well guess what I have gone and done, bought every bit of baby clothing in size 0-3 months thinking that was the first size 🤦
He is apparently going to be a small baby as well. 🤐

[quote Caspianberg]@ChampooPapi - mine really did fit 0-3 at birth! I squeezed him in the newborn for a week just to get use out of them, but he was long! 8lb8, 53cm.
He’s now 72cm at 4months so grew quickly. In 6-9 months mainly now.[/quote]
That’s weird, mine was heavier and longer than that and still fit in newborn (John Lewis) for a few weeks as I said above.

Anyway, OP has said she’s likely to have a smaller baby so will need newborn size.

I haven’t bothered with newborn size for either of my DC who were both around 7lb. They both went straight into up to 1 month clothes. Yes they were a little big to start with but that doesn’t bother me plus babies grow so quickly anyway!

Mine was a whisker off 9lb and first size/up to 1m was absolutely fine for the first few weeks. He was long too.

If you're expecting a dainty little bean I'd say get some tiny baby and newborn/first size for the hospital and then do an online shop when you see what fits baby best.

Ds was 6lb 13 and my parents had to nip out to get some in tiny baby size as newborn was too big!
