Stupid Question RE Baby Clothing

Dragonfly1226

Okay - I realize this may be the world's stupidest question, but I have to ask. I'm trying to organize all of the baby clothes we have so I can wash it in some organized way, but I'm a little stuck.

I have clothes that are 0-3 mos., 3-6 mos., etc. And then I have clothes that are just 3 months, 6 months. What does that mean? Is 3 months the same as 0-3, or is it like 3-6, or is it somewhere in between?

I feel like I should be able to figure this out, but everything just looks so small.

This is not a stupid question at all. Yes, you're right 3 month means 0-3, 6 months is 3-6. I was confused when I first went through B's clothes too

This makes me laugh....I'm not alone!  I'm still confused!  I was putting away DD 6 month stuff and breaking out the 9 months (sniff....sniff) and I say some 6-9 month and I had to stop and think for a minute!

This but don't forget to sort by brands too because some 3-6s are smaller than 0-3s. 

It's a giant PITA.  In general, Gerbers are the smallest and Carters are the largest (for us anyway).  But it really varies by baby based on how they are shaped, etc.

I was struggling with the same thing. I washed everything 0-3 months and anything that said 3 mos only. But a lot of the 3 mos stuff is a little bigger then the 0-3 and the newborn(which I have very little of) is so small I can't imagine a baby so little!

Not a stupid question at all! I noticed this too and was curious about what category they'd fall under.
