Clothes
Hey ladies,
Im sure this has been asked a million times but i cant find it anywhere.
All of you that have babies how long did they last in the Newborn clothing? Obviously im not naive enough to think all babies will be the same as it really depends how big they are. If my baby goes with the family tradition he will be at least 8lbs. So i just wanted to know when they go into 0-3 clothing and how long they last in newborn.
I have bought a snowsuit for 0-3 (as he is due in 4 weeks) but not got one for newborn as figured the 0-3 would be ok as just a coat etc?!?

my LO was 8lb 6oz born and was out of newborn in 8 days as they were too short for him Having said that, he does still fit in his newborn snowsuit, but I prefer him in his 0-3 one so tend to put him in that.

DS was 10lb 12oz born, we didn't even get to sniff newborn clothes!
DD was 6lb at 4 weeks when she came out of hospital in the middle of August, and she was just going into 0-3months in December, I rememberher first Christmas day outfit was 0-3.
I'm afraid my experiences are either 'huge baby' or 'prem baby' so I'm little use to you. I think average babies are in NB for maybe a month?
Doesn't matter if snowsuits are a bit big, just makes them easier to do up over layers of clothing, so I'd say thats fine unless you know you're likely to have a sub 8lb dotty baby.
DD is 1 on friday and had a newborn t-shirt on a christmas day! she wasn't prem either, she was actually a week late!
I only had a 0-3 snowsuit which swamped so we had to go and get a neborn one which lasted all winter. She now fits in her 3-6 one at just under a year old!
We had an inkling that baby would be a fair weight so only bought one pack of newborn bodysuits - even at that I went for supermarket ones as they tend to be on the genorous side of sizing- everything else was 0-3. I bought very few clothes before she was born then sent hubby and mum out to buy some after she was born.
Good luck when the time comes
Someone bought be some newborn and my 7lb 14oz baby was only in them for a week if that, but the one month clothes last a month, which was great.
M&S did a pack with bibs, short sleeved vest, sleep suit, t-shirt and trousers for ??12 (i think) which was great value i thought.
i found it depends on the shop and how they are made (still does now as she is mainly 6-9 months now but can still get in some 3-6 months and from 'smaller' shops like next needs some 9-12 months!)
my dd was 8lbs 4oz and from what i can remember we got about 3 weeks out of newborn and then moved fully into 0-3 months she is also quite long.
