Newborn clothes? - Page 2

I think you need more sleepsuits! Amelia was 8lb 5 so by no means small and she was in newborn for around a month! Even the newborn was a bit big to start with xx

Yes, I thought the same. I'm confused, is there a difference between newborn and size 0? This is all baffling to me

The only thing I noticed that you may want to add to your list is little baby hats.

Hehe...this made me giggle! I think you are... well-stocked, lets say!!!

Think I'll gunna aim to buy 3 more sleepsuits and leave it at that. I know I'll need another cardigan, but would rather wait and buy either a pink or blue one after baby has arrived!

Thanks, I've got 2 newborn hats and 1 in size 0-3 - do you think I'll need more?

0-3 in my experience is huge,
My LO was 8lbs 9oz at birth and was in tiny baby for a couple of weeks, newborn longer he was nearly 2months when he fitted in 0-3 properly, so I've got loads of newborn x

i've ogot quite a lot of newborn too. My last daughter was 8lb 3oz which is quite big but was still in tiny baby for a couple of weeks...then newborn for ages! 0-3 would have been WAY too big for her! x

I found that with baby clothes with my son, 0-3 started to fit him around 3 months, 3-6 started to fit him around 6 months etc. He still fits 9 months trousers now at 16 months and he's on the 50th percentiles.t

He was 7lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches at birth so a perfectly average size.

He fit prem for a couple of weeks and newborn until 3 months roughly.

I have a few vests, sleepsuits along with a couple pairs of pants and jackets in NB but I'm worried it won't be enough because my baby won't be very big at all >.< so I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of washing for the first few weeks.

Depends how big or small your baby is I think. You have more NB clothing than me so I think you're fine and like everyone else said, focus more on 0-3 month clothing. If needed, you can always buy more clothing lol

Just wanted to add a pic of Thomas at 4 days old in a newborn sleepsuit, his feet didn't even reach the feet bits and it just hung off him! He was an average sized baby.

definitely more sleepsuits and vests! you could go through 3 sleepsuits before lunchtime! 0-3 can be stupidly big sizes.
