Hey guys,

I'm due at the beginning of November and really like to be prepared for everything.. even just popping to the supermarket I need to have everything in order, let alone bringing a little human into the world!

Please help me with clothes...
I feel very overwhelmed because how do you know what size to get for newborn babies!? You don't know how much they'll weigh until they're born!? Or how long they'll be?

I've noticed there's a few different sizings: tiny baby/0-1m/newborn/0-3m!!
And I just don't know how many of what to get!?
I'm worried I won't have enough for her.

What did you do when it came to buying baby clothing, what sizes, etc?

Also, did you wash all of the clothes before using them?

I very much appreciate your help, I think I may be a bit anxious😅

My baby was prem, so I’m probably not the best person to answer (especially because every size seems to last for 6 months for my Son).

My advice would be to buy several newborn Sleepsuits and vests to start with for as soon as baby comes and the first couple of days. Clothes are lovely, but hard work. Also, you will probably be gifted a lot of newborn and 0-3 stuff.

It’s so easy to buy clothes these days as all supermarkets have them. So if you do need Tiny baby, or 0-3 instead of newborn you (or someone) can easily pick it up whilst out and about or at a minutes notice. :)
