Newborn clothes?
I'm wondering what clothes everyone is buying for their baby as I have a problem!
I've got everything I need clothes wise apart from a few bits now. We have bought most of it in size 0-3 months and I was wondering...should I be buying newborn size instead? At first I didn't see the point as I'm measuring ahead slightly and don't think I'll have a small baby and as my oh pointed out if he is early then we can just go out & grab a few things...
SO...is the 'newborn' size a complete rip off getting parents to buy so they can get more clothes once baby has outgrown them? Or do they really need them? Worried now...lol x

so this time iv put early baby, and newborn in hospital bag. i think newborn are up to 11 pounds so wouldnt think baby wouldnt fit in them,
its a nightmare not knowing how big baby is going to be isnt it, i thought my daughter would be really big as i always messured about 3 weeks bigger, but sometimes babys are streching out or curling up when they messure your tum.
take care and hope iv helped abit lol.

i had some 0-3m but found em too big for the early weeks.xxx
I would say dont wory about the weight of baby so much but the length. joshua weighed a chunky 9lb 5oz and was like a tiny giraffe lol I took in a newborn outfit but cos he was so long his poor lil toes were right at the end in baby grows, he was ok in trs and top outfits. I would say generally buy 0-3 and bigger cos thats what your baby is going to do...get bigger! I bought a few newborn outfits and he was in them for about 3 weeks. he's now 8 months and im buying 9-12 and 12-18 lol. I miss buying tiny clothes, good luck xxx
