Those Who Have Kids

When did your LO start wearing 3-6 months clothing? 

I have tons of newborn and 0-3 months clothing, but not much after that.  I'd hate to start getting stuff for 3-6 months, as it could still be summer or it could be early fall. 

To avoid buying everything all at once and at the last minute, should I get some fall stuff and wait on the summer stuff...as that stuff can still be used in the summer for cool days and evenings...and in air conditioning?

    It really depends on how big your baby is. My first was 9lbs 9oz. She was in 3-6 at just about 3 months. Also, if you use cloth diapers you will move into the larger sizes a bit quicker.

    My DS has been wearing everything on schedule, but he was a little on the small side when born (6lbs. 5oz.). He is really catching up now at 5 months, but still has room in his 3-6 months clothes.

    Yeah, I'd wait just because it really depends on you kid and it depends on the brand so much at that stage. I know for DS (5 lbs, 7 oz at birth.....yet gained weight quickly) that he wasn't in 3-6 mo stuff until fall. He was 6 months on Xmas day and he JUST started wearing 6 month stuff then.

    Like pp said, it depends on your baby and the brand.  For example, Gerber onesies run small.  DS was 6lbs at birth. It usually took him a little longer to be able to fit clothes or if they fit, he did for some time because he had room to grow.  I would wait.

    Thanks everyone!  I will wait (as tempting it is to pick-up an outfit or two while I'm out).

    My DS is two and a half months old and he is definitely in all 3-6 month clothes.  He was in newborn clothing for no more than a month, but after switching to formula (from BM) he had a very quick growth spurt and was only in 0-3 for about a month too.

    My DS was always pretty much on schedule. He was a little on the small side though 6pds 3oz. It just depends on you child.
