NEXT sizing is confusing....

[welshsarah]

Ok I bought a few things from next mostly up to 1 month and up to 3 months and was happy with my purchases, however the up to 1 month seems bigger than clothes I have had from other shops which are newborn. Im buying a few more things from Next but confused with the sizing. Is first size and new baby smaller than 1 month and will fit baby for the first week or so. I normally have average babies DD was 7lb4 and DS was 8lb14. I know I am having another baby but from my 20 week scan he doesnt seem like hes big for dates like DS was. he was measuring 19wks4 at 20wks, where as DS was a few days in front. :S Im really confused of what sizes I should buy. Please help.xxx

I'd get the upto one month. My ds was 7lb 12oz and he wore the upto 1 month. He had some first size but think there up to 7lb and didn't last at all. Your lo will fit the upto 1 month in no time. X

I'd buy up to me month, which with next is up to 10lbs. I think I'd just buy a selection as the baby will fit in up to one month when born but will get more wear out of the up to three months clothes. Especially for some of the costs in next (I love next clothes, but they can sometimes be quite expensive)

I loved next up to 1 month, it seemed to fit just as well as newborn but lasted longer than newborn!

Thank you so much its so confusing, most stores do newborn or 0-3 months. Next sells, new baby, first size, up to 1 month, 0-3 months and up to 3 months. Feel better ordering now. Dont want to buy clothes that will be too small when he makes an appearance that be throwing money down the drain xxx

My 5.5 month old fits into 0-3 and 3-6 next clothes, both exactly the same though the 0-3 are getting shorter! I find they come up a little big and he is long (but slim round the waist which is why he's in 0-3 trousers!)

I'd go with the up to 1 month.

And this just reminded me of the major panic I had in the middle of next over clothes size!

My 11 month old still fits in his 3-6 month next t shirts!! He's usually in 12-18 mnt so next is generous

Haha, no advice but this just reminded me of OH and I stood in Next for about an hour dithering over newborn, first size and up to one month vests when I was about 6 months pregnant. We had absolutely no clue!!!

Yup

we only got up to 1 month with next rather than first size etc. Seemed to be about to same, just a tiny bit bigger so lasted longer

Iv bought both sizes .... Haha ...

My mil keeps buying up to 1 month though when I asked her to get the smaller size as I want it to fit properly when he's born, doesn't bother me if it only lasts a week or 2! As i only wanted 1 nice set in the smaller sizes!

I love Next clothing and pretty much all of Max's wardrobe comes from there, but I find their sizing huge. Max is now over 14lbs and still wearing chinos and jeans in up to 1 month! Up to 3 month is just starting to fit perfectly and he's 3.5 months old.

First size drowned him when he was first born and he was in that size for at least the first 8 weeks.

I bought up to 1 month for both my babies... but I knew I was going to have chunky babas (both 9lb+)! My lo is in next 0-3 at the minute, but she is such a long little baby that we will soon be moving up, even if everything is baggy on her around the waist!!

Newborn first size is 7.8lb we used these for our LO as she weighed 7.12lb and they were perfect! Upto 1 month is upto 10lbs and was way too big initially! I hate to see babies drowning in their clothes I always think they look uncomfortable! Upto 3 months is upto 14lbs.

There sizing is a bit weird as my LO is 14lbs and 3 and a bit month but some stuff she is still 0-3 m and other stuff 3-6m but some of the 3-6m clothes drown her! X
