Baby sleepsuits for skinny babes?

8 replies

DS is 9 months and although small is a bit long and thin.
He's grown out of 3-6 mth sleepsuits, but all of the 6-9mth ones are so wide even in the legs.
He ends up with both legs down one sleepsuit leg at 2am and is not best pleased!
We've got some pjs, but again, he's a bit to slim around his middle and the bottoms need to be under his armpits in order to stay on!

So, does anyone know of any makes/shops which 'cater' for skinny babies?

I found grobag socksuits good as they have proper socks at the botton so feet stay in. They were recommended by a friend whoi has tall skinny dd's so might be worth a look? 4bump sell them and think here is a MNet code so get 10% off too.

Exactly my question! My 2 week old is getting lost in the width of 0-3 month babygrows, but already his feet and legs seem not to have enough length. Not surprising as long as skinny are his father's and my body shapes (or at least - what mine used to be!). But makes it difficult to dress him.

I'll have a look for grobag socksuits, but any other recommendations for brands that come up long in the legs/skinny in the body for 0-3/3-6 month sizes would be much welcomed

Minimode (Boots) are on the snug side or if you are flush, Mexx.

When slender ds12 was little Babies R Us (ie part of Toys R Us) clothes fitted him best.

Tesco's sleepsuits are quite slim fitting and long-ish. DD is 18mths and fits quite nicely into the 9-12 month ones (we have some of the same size from Next and they are HUGE - very baggy!)

I found Petit Bateau vests came up skinny but long (ideal for going round real nappies without being baggy on the chest) so I suspect their sleepsuits are similar. Expensive, but good quality - dd is the fourth baby to wear hers!
