"This may be a stupid question (although I know there is no such thing!) only what size of babe clothes are you lot buying for your baby?

"I keep looking at vests and sleep suits and I never buy anything because I can't make up one's mind what to get…

"Should I be getting newborn size or 0-3 months? I've been told it'south likely I'll be having an 'boilerplate' sized baby so that would suggest newborn.

"But if he'south upwardly at 9lbs or so (a lot of that in both sides of our families!) and so he'll abound out of them so quickly… But what if he's little and I've got only 0-3 months…?"

Hmmm… ? ?

Of grade, if your baby'sreally early you might observe fifty-fifty the newborn stuff too big, if they're late and bigger, you lot might need to skip straight to 0-3 months. Here's what sizes other mums have bought for their newborns…

"Improve likewise big than too minor"

"I have more 3-vi months thing than newborn things. Wait at information technology this way – ameliorate to have bigger things than too small things," says tashy1.

"I have a few vests seeing as the babe is due in summertime. When she'south indoors she will be wearing that generally. And a few babysuits.

"Merely all her 3-6 months apparel are nice and warm as it gets later into the year. Don't buy too many newborn things. If you need to get more than after the baby is born, and then practise that."

"Everyone did a quick dash to ASDA for dinky stuff"

Stacey Z had a different dilemma. "I bought newborn and 0-three clothes and ended up having a 5lb infant so everyone did a quick dash to Asda to get dinky stuff for me."

"You'll exist surprised at how big 0-iii months are on a newborn"

"I would definitely buy some essentials in newborn size every bit you will exist surprised how big the 0-3 month clothes are on a newborn," says Yum_Yum.

"My niggling human being was 8lb 6oz at nascence and stayed in newborn dress up to the end of the first month, even though he was 11lbs at that stage."

"I would suggest ownership 6 sleep suits, six short sleeve bodies, 6 long sleeve bodies and 6 sleeveless vests in newborn equally y'all volition definitely use these. Also maybe iii/4 outfits in newborn for going out/visitors etc."

"It'south better to buy 0-3 months – but not likewise much"

"I would rule out newborn clothes apart from 1 or 2 outfits. Seriously, my boy was born@ 7lbs 8oz, and now, x weeks on, he is 13lbs 2oz. He was in newborn clothes for ii-3 weeks max!" says libbylou85

"He's started to grow out of a few 0-3 months besides and he'southward but simply over 2 months old. My boy literally lived in vest, babygrow/onesie, and snowsuit, blankets etc.

"If going out, trust me, information technology's ameliorate to buy mostly 0-3, but non too much. I've sold virtually of his infant grows in that range as I had over 20 and I tin say at present that 12 is more than enough and the same with vests, etc.

"I'll not make the aforementioned mistake with the adjacent baby. Although I do propose that you can never have enough bibs if canteen feeding, and you can use them when weaning."

"Buy multipacks from Asda, or Tesco or Sainsbury'due south"

"The sizes vary so much from different shops. Newborn in Asda for example merely become up to 9lb, Mothercare go up to 10 lbs, Next and Pumpkin Patch newborn only go up to 7lb 7oz. Complete waste of money," says westbrom1.

"0-iii months also vary only are MASSIVE on a newborn. My LO was born 8lbs 8oz and dropped to 7lbs 15ozm then was in newborn clothes just for 2 or 3 weeks.

"I got bought some beautiful stuff from Mamas and Papas which she but wore 3 times, simply her family got great pleasure out of seeing her in them.

"I bought only 6 vests and 6 sleepsuits in newborn and 0-3 months and we were very lucky as everybody bought everything else.

"Only initially those 6 I bought would not have been enough as babies habiliment a minimum of 2 a day – that'south if they are not sick. I was in infirmary for three days likewise so my mother-in-police force used to have them abode every night and wash them.

"Daisy is 11lbs at present and still looks tiny in her 0-3 month clothes but she looks corking in her Matalan stuff as they have shrunk a bit and fit her perfectly at present!

"Merely I concur it is better to take the dress a scrap big than waste material coin. I would advise you buy a few multipacks from Asda or Tesco or Sainsbury's. They are very cheap for newborn stuff and and then, if y'all want, you can spend a bit more than on 0-3 calendar month stuff."

"We were given too much newborn stuff"

"We bought and were given too much kickoff size and newborn stuff as my second was born 9 lbs 3oz and outset size and newborn become upwardly to around 9lbs," says Jasmine B.

"My infant is at present iv weeks old and is only just squeezing into 0-3 stuff as she's such a greedy baby!

"Looks like I accept way too much 0-3 as well! Hoping some shops volition let me go in and swap the stuff that all the same has tags on but I stupidly loved removing tags and washing all of her apparel because she was overdue and I just beloved the smell of Fairy non bio."
