clothes too big!

mimi1017

its very frustrating when im trying to get DS dressed to go out somewhere and none of the clothes fit! newborn clothes fit him pretty much perfectly. newborn sleepers--some are starting to get short on him but fit him fine in the body..other fit him perfect everywhere! all the outfits that i have are 0-3 months. i had to go out and buy a newborn outfit when i got his pictures done since i had nothing super cute in newborn like that..just 0-3 months. i dont mind putting him in sleepers to go out..but i have all these super cute clothes that i want to put on him and he cant fit into them! plus since the weather is changing..half of them he wont even be able to wear because they will be wayyy too warm. i live in indiana. so weather here is nuts. 2 days ago it was so nice out..im talking you could go outside without a coat and wear some flip flops. yest and today..not so much. bahh. all these people told me when i was pregnant that he would other last in newborn clothes for like a week. ok..ive heard that plenty of times before so thats why i have like NONE. but thats not what happened lol. hopefully he will grow into them soon!

0-3 are too big for DD, but newborn are getting too short. I ended up shrinking a bunch of her 0-3. I just washed and dryed them hot and now they fit almost perfect!

Yup, I could have written your post pretty much word for word.  Clara is 5 1/2 weeks old, and she weighs about 8.5lbs.  NB clothes are still what fit her best.  She can do some of the 0-3 month clothes, but she's still swimming in the majority of them.  I'm afraid she's not going to be able to wear some of the cute stuff I was hoping to put her in, because it'll be too warm by the time she's big enough.  A friend of mine who also had a small baby gave me all of her newborn clothes, and I don't know what we'd do without them!

I have a very long and skinny baby.  Newborn are too short and 0-3 are too baggy (and some of those are getting too short).  It's frustrating!  I have had the best luck at Baby Gap.  They were having 30% off your whole purchase today so I stocked up on some stuff!

DD is still too small for 0-3 although just barely. Some newborn stuff is getting tight/short on her but others still fit just fine. It all depends on the brand.

DD is still sleeping in NB sleeper because 0-3 are too big. we are just starting to transition over to 0-3 clothing and some of it is bog so i just rollup the sleeves/pants or I roll down the waist of the pants. Ds was tiny so I knew that DD would fit fine ito NB but even still I only bought a limited amount of NB clothing just in case.

Tell me about it!  I knew DD was going to be on the big side (she always measured big, I had gestational diabetes and DH was a big baby...) so I had exactly 5 NB onesies, and that's it.  She was born 8.4 & 20", is now around 10lbs and still fits into a lot of her NB sleepers - that I had my mom run out and buy - bc she was swimming in her 0-3!!

NB is still big on my LO, she'll never get to wear any of her cute clothes

Gymboree and Children's Place run big. Old Navy and Gap run pretty true to size if not a little smaller and Polo runs small.
