bringing home baby!

Question. What size outfit would (will) you take to the hospital? I just got a ton of brand new nb clothes from my sisters friend and they look so itty bitty. My husbands family and my mom are both notorious for delivering atleast 9 lb. babies! help. Need ideas! Thanks.

I think nb clothes are good up to 12 pounds, so you're probably ok to bring those.

This is my first baby so I have no practical experience, but I did buy a newborn outfit (said for 5 - 8 pounds) to bring him home.  I will probably take a back up 3 month outfit just in case he's a little on the larger side.

Newborn outfit...unless you think you're going to have an 11lb-er.

I will take a preemie and a newborn outfit just to be sure I have something that fits!

I don't know. However my mother in law gave me 6 month old clothes and told me that all my husband could fit in when he was born. Trust me, i'm terrified.

Probably a preemie & a NB outfit.  DD was in her preemie clothing for two months!  I took a NB outfit for her & she looked ridiculous in it.  The arms & legs were seriously quadruple rolled.

We'll be taking a newborn and 0-3 months just in case..

Why don't you take a few choices so you are covered either way..

My DS came home in a t-shirt that the hospital gave him...so boring, but he was comfy and nobody was even going to see him.

Mine is from Carter's and nb size says up to 8lb...I was tiny, but DH was an 8lb baby so to be safe, I went with 3mo size. Plus, hopefully he can wear it once or twice more before he outgrows it I'll be saving that one for sure though!

I am taking a NB and an outfit fitted 0-3 months. I think NB outfits are only fitted up to 8lbs. At least from what I have seen

my daughter was 9 pounds and the 0-3 outfit we had was HUGE on her.  I would go with newborn

I'm not being snarky when I ask this, but why stress about it? Bring NB and 0-3 month along as well. DD was 6lbs 13oz and needed preemie size for a while once we got home. I will be taking NB, because if it's a little big, who is really going to mind?

We aren't even buying any NB sizes for this reason. LO's first outfits will be the 0-3 month size that go up to like 12 pounds.

We make big babies in my family.

just take one of each preemie nb and 0-3 of your favorite outfits that way all your bases are covred!

I'm going to take a preemie and newborn too. My first was 7lbs 11oz (totally average size), and all I brought for him was a one-piece from Gap that was size newborn,  It was too big! Not crazy big but I had to roll up the arms and legs a few times still. Newborns are so tiny!
