Did you buy newborn size, or just 0-3?

[lola_90]

My son was 10lb born and wore newborn for around two weeks. Then up to one month for 4 weeks then from six weeks he was in 0-3

It all depends on the size and length of your baby.

My ds was born 6lb 7oz but was tiny so was in tiny baby for the first month as newborn was huge and then in newborn for a good 3 months before getting into 0-3

Dd was the same born at 6lb 9oz but was a tad longer in length so outgrew tiny baby in a couple of weeks.

My DS was 8lbs 9oz and about 23 inches long and newborn wouldn't touch him, he was straight in to 0-3 months!

My DD was 7lbs 11oz and about 20 inches long and newborn swamps her! 0-3 is not going to fit until she is AT LEAST 1 month old and newborn is still very baggy.

You just can't tell until they're here so I would buy a little newborn and then you haven't spent too much if it's not needed.

My dd was 8lbs & 55cm long - newborn lasted about three weeks.

Ds was 8lb 8oz & 56cm long - newborn lasted about two weeks.

When I put them in 0-3 mths too early, they both managed to pull their legs into the body bit of the sleep suits Buy newborn, but not too much & don't spend a fortune or buy your nicer outfits in that size. I'd recommend one going home outfit & then just vests & baby grows

I think my boy is the opposite to everyone else. He fit into new born for a week then needed 0-3 months now at 4 weeks old he's so big he's only got another 1-2 weeks max before he needs to wear 3-6!!! What the hell!?

My bub was average weight (3.3kg) and on the long side (52cm). She is only just out of newborn size now at 5 weeks, mostly because of the length of her legs and having big feet.

We found that too; DD's legs and feet would grow out of sleepsuits before the rest of her, lol. We stopped putting her in them around 7 months or so, and she now has footless sleepsuits/long sleeve/leg rompers or 'big girl pyjamas', and socks if it's cold. She's a size 4 1/2 in shoes She is very tall for her age too, but still fits into 9-12, just, at 11 months

I now have an equal mix of newborn and 0-3. Thank you for all of the helpful replies ladies.

My lad was straight in to 0-3 as he's so long. He's eight weeks now and is in 3-6 o_0.

Both my children were 5 lbs + at birth, so I bought newborn sizes (5-8 lbs). They were in them for at least the 1st month.

We didn't buy any newborn stuff although we ended up with a couple things in newborn size. We did a lot of gowns with Violet in the beginning. She peed and pooped A LOT, so it made for easier diaper changes. When taking her out, we put pants under the gown. With time we began putting her in more onsies and pants, but used gowns at night for a long time. With Leo, his digestion is much more manageable, but we still dressed him in gowns for about the first month... Maybe a bit less than that. Anyway, after that, we moved to onsies and pants. The gowns we used were almost all 0-3 month size. We just folded over the sleeves to make the length more appropriate until they were grown into. If paired with pants, a short sleeve onsie that is too big, still works pretty well. If it's a long sleeve onsie, it can also work pretty well if there are cuffs on the sleeves to either keep them from going past the hands. The cuffs can also help for folding the sleeve. Sleeves with cuffs stay folded at the right spot a lot better than sleeves without cuffs.

My boy stayed in the newborn size for clothing for a little bit over a month. I didn't expect this.
We had to buy him newborn clothes when we realised that he was in the smaller size (for long) lol

My LO was born 7lbs7oz 19in. I figured 0-3 stuff would fit just fine but turns out it was too big! Glad I bought NB clothes anyway.

With my dd I bought a lot of newborn however after realising how fast she grew out of them some she never even wore that with my ds I had around 6 newborn sleep suits and a lot of 0-3 and 3-6months. Both my babies were born over 7lbs though. I have a friend who has 3 children and all were 6lbs ish she had to buy tiny baby stuff for them.

 

[Kians_Mummy]

I bought first size and 0-3 but I ended up buying tiny baby and up to 1m when she was born (34 weeks weighing 4kbs 12oz). She's 15 weeks tomorrow, weighing 10lbs and just going over into 0-3 x
