feet size question for mums of newborns - especially girls
Ok so this isn't really a weird request...promise! But - would anyone with a newborn or young baby (preferably a girl) mind telling me how long your lo's foot is?
I've just made the first of a pair of crochet ballet slippers for my friends little girl who's due in may and it looks like it'll fit a foot of about 8 - 9cm length but the problem is it looks really really tiny compared to cole's gigantic size 5's and I'm sure my big footed boy's feet were never that small!!
Thanks

Guess i need to rename my son to 'bigfoot' lol. He'd grown out of newborn size socks within about 2 weeks and in november i had to buy him proper (size 5) shoes before he started nursery as he didn't even fit the 12-18 month pram shoes!!

And one with Cole's size 5 for comparison! Both slippers would have been in the pic but Cole was 'helping'

Gabe is actually fairly big (20lb 9 at 9 months, 60th centile.....) but his feet are just titchy. My ex is the same. He's not short but has size 7/8 feet.
Cole must be an absolute monster! Lol! He was bigger than Gabe at 9 months - I only know that cause he hit 20lb at 8 months just in time for him to go into his forward facing car seat before our long journey!
I looked at one of Gabe's sleepsuits the other day, a 0-1 months one from H&M that he wore in hospital. And it looks SO small, no one could believe he used to wear it, yet we've got pictures of him in it, lol!!! scary how big they get.
I did the same thing with the sleepsuit too..it seems so tiny and the arms and legs are just so short! I'm sure he didn't have that small arms and legs. Definatelys cary how big they get - have just had to buy 18-24 month vests for cole as his others were getting a bit tight and definately not fitting over the cloth nappies! Funny sized boy - big feet, long body but still fitting in 9-12 month jeans!
