"Gerber" onesies? Run small?

HRMJPC

I am sorting through the goods that I got this weekend from family and friends. These gerber onesies are TEENY.

Anyone else find this? Any 2nd time moms want to comment? I am not sure if I should sort them with the smaller sizes or what!

Yes they run VERY small.  I hate them.

Gerber clothes run SUPER small. Of course, those little newborns are really tiny as well. You may use them, you may not.

Yep - they run very small.

My plan is to only have one set of newborn and one set of 0-3 as I think she will grow out of them way too soon.

If she is tiny, we can always pick up more after she is born.

Yes! 0-3 are more like NB size... 3-6 are more like 0-3 and so on...

Yes, they do.  BUT I still love them and they were a staple of DD's wardrobe, as long as I could keep the sizes straight.

Yes they are very small. I had some when DD was born. She weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and they barely fit her!

They do run small. They worked great for us when DD was a newborn because she was too tiny for most NB sized onesies.

gerber runs RIDICULOUSLY small.

Yes, definately run small, DS was 9 lbs 6 oz 22" with a long torso at birth and was wearing the 6-9 month ones off the bat it seemed.  I prefer Carter's onesies.

Yep - ridiculously small. I'm not a fan of Gerber clothing. They didn't hold up well in the wash either (IMO).

Yes, they run small but I still used all the sizes with my DD, they just didn't match up to the sizes she was wearing in everything else. They really are a great staple that first year!

Yes they do run small.  I also don't find they to be that great of quality.  I stuck with Carter's onesies

Yes they do run small.  I always used them when DS was transitioning sizes.  To move up a size in some of the other brands was too big so I would move him up in the gerber ones first.

Yes! The Gerber onesies definately run small! And, since they're 100% cotton, they shrink a little, too. After my baby shower for DS, I sorted clothes by size and placed them all in separate storage containers. When DS got to the 3-6 month clothing sizes, all the onesies in 3-6 were too small! He could wear the 6-9 just fine at that point. I would suggest sorting with the smaller sizes. I wish I had because he got very little wear out of a lot of the onesies. I hope this info. helps some!

in general gerber items suck.  the clothing runs really small and is not soft at all.  their breast pads are super small and thin too.  might as well not wear anything.

Yes,they run small and get all out of shape very quickly.  I used them, but definitely prefer Carters onsies over the Gerber.

They do run small which is good if you have a smaller baby. I prefer Carters as well.

mrsschrager

yes they run small.. dont bother getting any newborn size.. I did with ds ( he was 8 ls 1 oz) and he fit in them for a week! I am a huge fan or carters brand( you can get them at babies r us).. much better quality.. hth
