We bought a few newborn sizes but mostly 0-3 months. If you end up having a big baby then the newborn sizes could be wasted. We learnt this the hard way when our 1st was born. She was so long and we ended up giving all her newborn stuff away, some of which she'd never worn. I'd personally just get a few bits and if your LO is big you haven't wasted to much, and they'll fit in it you can easily buy some more.

I had a big baby (9lb 1oz and 56cm) but he was still in newborn for the first 2 or 3 weeks.

i just got a few newborn bits the rest was 0-3 but dd was born at 32+5 at 4lb 11oz so everything was massive, so we had to buy tiny and early baby stuff.
I can't wait to hit the shops now.
Would ye purchase a blanket now or wait until u c if it's a boy or girl?
Sorry about all the questions, i'm clueless ha ha

Fortunately my sis gave me lots of stuff.
I would just buy 0-3 as they do tend to grow out of newborn pretty quickly.
Ollie had newborn stuff and he grew out of it within two weeks, so we had loads of things that he had never worn as he was far too big for them...
we found that if we mentioned to people beforehand that we would appreciate vests and all in ones, instead of outfits as gifts, they got us those and it was more practical than outfits..

W had loads of presants of clothes as well, some he never got to wear!
Personally I'd say only buy a handful of newborn things as you can always buy more if you need them
Amber was 6lb 15oz born, the midwife said she would be 9lb min haha so we had only a few things newborn and had to rush out and get more when we got home as all the stuff was way too baggy. We live in Germany and they have clothes for lo's so were fine there as they put her in tiny baby stuff.
Mothercare is really good as there newborn stuff is bigger, Amber was in her newborn stuff until she was 3months old! I would get about 6vests and 6sleepsuits in newborn, primark is so so cheap or asda if you are worried that they wont last long xx
