"cross over" bodysuits for newborns

[Madigan]

Not sure if posting in right place? Anyway - does anyone know where I can buy the little bodysuits/vests for babies which have cross over at the front and fasten at the side, so you don't have to pull them over baby's head?
Thanks.

I seem to remember Verbaudet had them when ds was wee.

They are really hard to get hold of and also quite expensive. But you can get them at Petit Bateau I believe.

Some here, but dear God they are pricey:

i bought mine from vertbaudet, there sizes (as most french companies it seems) are a bit small, i ordered 0-3 and used them on a newborn and i dont have big babies (6/7lb ones)

I think H&M do them too....

JoJo Maman Bebe does them but again, pricey. Cx

Hi, I bought some for my son (2yrs ago mind you)... from Mothercare. Just had a look online for you but can't see them? maybe worth a look in store... i defo got them from monthercare tho and they weren't overpriced.

We bought loads in C&A last year in Spain as they were really cheap. I too have seen some in Mothercare too, last year though.

I'm sure I got some from Pumpkin patch but I don't know if they do them now.

John Lewis do cute organic white ones, 2 for £10.

Petit bateau. If you know someone in France/going to France, you can buy them in most hypermarkets. Agree they're much nicer for wee babes

I had some gorgeous ones from Jo Jo Maman Bebe, they work out cheaper if you buy more than one because I think you get a fiver off. They are expensive though compared to the bog standard non cross over ones, I used for special occasions!

Green baby do them but they are, again, pricey. Sizing is fairly small so get 0-3

I packed them in my hospital bag and used them first time I dressed DS. Much better than putting it over his head so worth getting a couple to use in the early days until you build up a bit more confidence!

I had petit bateau ones as they are the loveliest but they are not for beefy babies as they are very slim,and you need to remember that French sizing means "up to" the height/age on the label,not from that age to the next like UK sizing.Also bought some from Jojo maman but they were cut a bit low at the front,not great for a Winter baby.The cheapest might be la redoute,they always have them.

That is true hellymelly - my baby is on the stumpy but wide side and I always got him the next size up. Petit Bateau are skinny but long (optimistic french people)

Du Pareil au Meme do them too www.dpam.com/index.php?country=GB and they're not quite as skinny as Petit Bateau.

Here, for instance.

Zara - 2 for £7

H&M do them, got some and they are still selling them at mo, 2 for £5.99. Got little leggings to match too.
