Premature baby clothes

11 replies

My sis has just had a very tiny baby and i'm looking for places to get premature baby clothes for her. Most stuff is too big - any suggestions where to buy stuff (that won't break the bank) for prem babies. Most of the multipack babygro type things I can't find are for babies over 6lb and they'd swamp baby.

thanks

Boots usually has a good selection. We bought most of DGS's stuff there (he was just over 4lb). You can also get Pampers micro nappies there too.

I bought my gorgeous prem niece some from Boots. The larger stores had them, they all fasten with very very fine Velcro tabs on the arms and legs for dressing babies with wires, tubes etc. They are nice and soft and have the labels on the outside too so it doesn't rub.

All seem to be either blue or pink though! No brights or neutrals.

Thanks, they've had a look at mothercare and there's not much in the local store but having a look online, it just seems so expensive compared to what you can buy in asda etc for larger babies. She's only 3lb so absolutely tiny

There's teddy and me, stocked by some branches of John Lewis. Mama's and Papas have a preemie range.
If she's still in hospital, ask the nicu or maternity ward to approach a charity called pop n grow for a set of clothes suitable for incubators.

Good luck to baby.

Asda does really well priced cotton multipacks

Thanks for the advice Parsnips82, they have a useful Buyer's Guide too which I found helpful as I really wasn't sure what to buy for a 3lb baby, he's soooo tiny!

The guide is here: www.little-mouse.co.uk/pages/premature-baby-clothes-buyers-guide

None of the supermarkets or high street stores do clothes for babies this small, that I could find anyway, anyone else?
