Birth weights????

raisingarizona2008

I was just wondering what their twins/triplets birth weights were? I won't be buying any outfits yet, but I was trying to get an idea. I think when we do buy a couple of things they should be the "newborn" size? It says 5-8lbs and I was wondering how quickly they grow out of that size?

Thanks again!!!!

My triplets were 5lbs 3oz, 4 lbs 13oz and 4lbs 13oz - born at 35 weeks and 6 days.  Even though Allie weighed over 5 lbs at birth, newborn clothes were WAAAAAAAY too big - she needed preemie clothes.

4'10, 4'10, and 4'3. but i think most twins are bigger than that. my boys wore preemie stuff for a very short time, and newborn stuff for about 2 months.

3lbs12oz and 3lbs13oz. They were in preemie until about 6 weeks and are still in Newborn at almost 10lbs (they are short babies).

They were 19 1/4 inches long and 16 3/4 inches long

2lb 7oz and 3lb 10 oz. It took the little guy 2 months to grow into preemie clothes, which he then wore for about 2 months. The bigger guy wore preemie clothes for about 2 months, then newborn for almost 3 months.

pretty much the same for my boys!

fraternal twins are usually a bit bigger than ID twins at birth due to more growth issue possibilites in utero.?

Mine were big babies - 7.6 and 7.8 and they still wore the newborn size for the first two months, I think. Their coming home outfits were the under seven lbs size and they fit just right.

My twins were 5 lb. 11 oz. (18. 5 in long) and 6 lb. 2 oz (19.5 in long) born at 33 w 4d! BIG babies, especially for their gestational age. I'm not sure what size they wore when they were born, but when they came home at 8 weeks, they were already wearing 3-6 mos... mostly bc of their length though.

My girls were born at 37 wk 6 days and both weighed 6 lb 4 oz. They are only a week old but they drown in all of their newborn sizes. I am sure it wont be long and the will be too big for them. I only have a few preemie outfits , but right now they fit perfectly.
