Baby Gap sizing question

rynalicia

I just bought a ton of fall/winter clothes for ds with a huge sale at gap, thanks to one of you ladies.  DS is currently in 18-24 month tops for baby gap, he is roughly 23 lbs and about 32 inches.  The size guidelines say he should be in 18-24 for a good deal more in weight and height, but his shirts look like they just fit perfectly now.

I ordered the next size up in shirts, so a size 2.  and 18-24 months in pants...he he is growing out of 12-18 now.  I'm worried though that they are going to be HUGE on him.  What's your experience on their growing and gap sizes.  thanks!

The boys have been in 12-18 for 3 months (they are 13.5 months now) and still have room, I'd guess till the end of the summer.

They tend to outgrow them a month or so before the age on the tags.  I bought 18-24 for fall/winter.

If I were you, I'd order 24 mo. shirts instead of 2T.

I think they run true to size. DS is currently wearing 12-18 months which were a little big in the early Spring but, they will last him through until the fall. I bought 18-24 month jeans from GAP for him & they look huge but, the waist is adjustable & if they are too long to start the fall I'll just roll them up.

I always found that their clothing was generous. O is 26lbs and 32 in and I have her in 18-24mo now. But, since she's really starting to walk a lot, I am guessing for 2T for the winter and early spring. I find it to be alright to get a bit larger cause then she'll be able to grow into it, if you get it to just fit and then your LO has a growth spurt, then you're gonna have a lot of stuff that they won't be able to wear.

I think they're pretty true to size and hold up well after a few washings.  I just ordered Casey some fall stuff in the 18-24 months size.  Right now the 18-24 months on her fits but is just a tad big, so it'll be perfect to grow into. 

I'd probably get them the 18-24 month size shirts though.  I mean if they aren't tight on them now then I'm sure they'll still fit in a few months. 

Also, Casey is 25lbs and 31", so it's funny how body size is so different for kids because the 18-24 month clothes for her is just a tad big (as stated above)
