We had a baby in August that was 6 pounds 13 ounces and had bought a variety of clothes for her. Some we bought in newborn size, some in 0-3 months. Newborn sizes state they fit babies 5-8 pounds and 0-3 month fit 8-12 pounds. Some of the newborn outfits fit perfectly on her and some she drowned in. I don’t understand how they can be so different but I suppose its like adult clothes. She is now 6 weeks old and almost 9 pounds. She fits in most newborn clothes now (a few are still too big) but definitely doesn’t fit into 0-3 month clothes.
I never know what size to buy her and its not like you are going to take her into a dressing room and try clothes on her. I’m lucky to get into a store and out without her screaming. The other thing I have noticed is that certain brands run bigger then others but yet I can’t even rely on that as certain outfits in a brand will fit and others won’t. Its just amazing the differences.
Heah, what a special site you have. I found it on Bing while looking for some newborn baby gear. Thanks and God bless.
