where to get clothes for dinky toy baby

Hi,

My baby girl is 1.6kgs and needs some more clothes, especially sleep suits! I can generally find body suits but struggle to find something with long sleeves / long legs.

I know that mothercare do a limited range and I have been on earlybaby.co.uk and babyprem.co.uk and ebay, but would like a bit more choice. Have I missed a good shop?!?

All the other usual shops (John Lewis, M&S, M&P etc) they all do clothes for 'early baby' or 'tiny baby' but this is still way too big for my (incredibly cute) girl.

At the moment I dress her in clothes the hospital has, but she'll (fingers crossed!) be coming home in a couple of weeks time!

Any tips?

I've seen tiny clothes for premature babies in boots, might be worth a look. Sorry, I'm no expert on really small ones but they might have something.

The mamas and papas "petit petit bebe" size just about fitted my DD when she hit 3lbs or so.

Maybe post on selling sites and the local board on here, I have seen them posted on netmums too. X

Mothercare does 3lb and 4 lb size, not a huge range but nice stuff.

We got stuff from a boots range, it's designed with nicu in mind. We had long sleeved sleepsuits, they were perfect. I ordered stuff from eBay too. There's also a charity called pop and grow (they're on Facebook) that do clothes, they might be able to advise on what you are after and also maybe give the Bliss helpline a call, I'm sure they might be able to help.

Congrats on your little one and hope you get your little girl home very soon x

She has a Pop n Grow suit, she's on their FB page, casually modelling it! She peed on it the other day, somehow, just after I put it on her ...

People have mentioned Boots to me but when I go on their website I can't find anything, bar 2 pairs of pants!

what katy didnt' The petit petit bebe range says the smallest size is for 3.15kgs/7lbs that's why I thought it would be too big.

When my daughter reached 1.6 (she was 0.9 at birth) she wasnt in preemie clothes. Try early or tiny baby sizes. I find the sizes on the labels a bit off. Shes currently in a sleepsuit for 10.5lbs and filling it at only 8.5lbs!

Amazon do a nice pramsuit for when you take her home :)

DTS were in Mamas and Papas Petit Petit baby at 3lb, I think the size guide is from 5lb but they were fine, just baggy. Not cheap though.
