Newborn Clothes Sizes

Ok so i have quiet a bit of newborn clothes, all ill need. I have a TON of 0-3 clothes. They go from sun dresses to warm winter sleepers. Shes going to be born within 14 days and it stays warm here till middle to end november. My question is after your baby was born how long did they stay in newborn clothes? hoping to squeeze in the sun dresses before cool weather!

My daughter is 4 months this week, and was 7lb 13 oz at birth. 3-6 month Gerber onsies are already too small. 3-6 month sleepers, Carters, are just about too short and constricting. You really want to aim for 6 month stuff at a minimum I've learned. A little loose, and you're okay. Too tight and baby is uncomfortable.

Here is my suggestion for baby clothing: Premie - DO NOT buy Premie outfits, unless you know that your going to have complications and baby will ...

I've bought everything in 0-3months as i thought that was the lowest size, then i realised there was a newborn size too, silly me! Well i bought myself some babygrows and vests in newborn size so i'm sorted with that.

The thing is, i'm buying some baby clothes online just now, and i've seen a lovely little hat and mitt set, it's been reduced to £3.00 if you buy it in the newborn size and it's £7.50 if bought in 0-3 months, the thing is, since i can't see it myself i don't know if it's going to be too small.

Do you think the newborn size will do my baby for a few months at least?
Thanks girls! I've bought one pack of newborn vests and babygrows, the rest is in 0-3, was just wondering for the hat and gloves, i might just get the 0-3 instead of taking any chances. x
The hat and glove set is 4.5lbs - 10lbs, i might just get that, it's only £3 and if he grows out it within a few weeks then it's only £3 wasted. x

I was lucky, my Bella was 6lbs 13oz and she's only just fitting her newborn outfits properly now at 6 weeks old! Got to make good use of them! She's my tiny girl. :P She weighs about 9lbs 5 now, and some babies are born that size... My girlfriend recently had a 10.5lb boy!
To answer your question though, I reckon you should get the hat & mittens in the smaller size, that way you have a lil hat that fits (rather than one too big) in case he gets a bit too cool.
Anyway, good luck!

I am wondering this because i am due July 6, and i don't know if i should buy newborn summer clothes, which say 5-8 lbs or 0-3 month summer clothes that say 8-12 lbs. I can't predict how big my baby is going to be.
How quick does a newborn outgrow the newborn clothes?

For the first little while, you will probably keep your baby in comfy pj's. I'd suggest buying a couple of 0-3 months and a couple of 3-6 months). Assuming you don't want to spend alot of money try Target, Mervyns or Khols.

Since he/she won't be born until July, wait until then to buy clothes as they start going on sale around that time.

i have not had my bundle of joy yet but i am just wondering when it comes to shopping for newborn clothes how fast will the newborn outgrow the clothes..do newborn clothes usually come in 0-3 months size?? so will they last for 3 months?? im just trying to ecide how many newborn outfits to really get if he or she will outgrow them really soon thanks!

Depends on baby. MIne grew out of newborn clothing in 2 weeks. People are right, clothes sizes are terrible they are never right.
