Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Best clothing brands for long skinny babies?

DS will be two months this week and we're in a but of an interesting situation. He is built like DH which means he has a very long torso and not so long legs. In addition, he isn't a chunky baby either he's 23in 10lbs and his clothes don't fit that great. He fits in newborn bottoms but onesies are too short and baggy. Which brands work better for longer thinner babies?

  • I'm in the same boat- both my kids are built like DH (6'-5" and skinny)

  • DS1 is like this and we've found Carters and Old Navy to work best for him. 
  • Really good to know! My little guy is long, lean, but has such short legs. :)

  • Carters work best for our long and skinny little one. I agree that Gerber is not for skinny babies.
  • Gerber!  Although they run small, so buy a size or 2 up.

    Maybe they changed things, but the ones that we got when DD was born were teeny.  In fact, DD2 wore 3-6m Gerber onesies under her NB clothes and they

  • gymboree and hatley 

    Hatley is expensive and I can only find it online, but they do make stuff really long. My baby boy is in the 99th percentile in length so I know what you are going through!

  • Struggling with this too, DS is not super long, but ver skinny 1st percentile weight. Haven't found pants that fit him yet; he's wearing 0-3 months Carter's and Gymboree pants, but if you are not careful the pants will fall right off.  We have a few
