Help with clothing size

Ok, so if the size says 6months - does that mean 3-6months, or 6-9months?

    I don't know for sure but I would guess it means more like 6-9 months.  DD just started wearing clothes labeled as 3 months and there's no way they're the same as 0-3.  HTH!

    I think 6 months is 3-6.

    Clothing sizes make no sense. Different brands fit differently IMO.

    If anyone can figure this out, I'd like to know!  Usually (and I mean that very loosely) 6 months are bigger than 3-6, but not as big as 6-9. 

    Don't go by Gerber sizes.  Those onesies run so small.  Ben and Eli wear 3-6 in most everything else, but I can barely get them in 6-9 month Gerber onesies!

    This just makes it so hard to buy appropriate things!

    I agree with this too.  I mean, are they meant to wear '6month' stuff for one month haha

    I just took the tags off and washed DDs 3-6 stuff and the hang tag said 3-6 and the inside tag would just say 6 months.  (How did she get so big so fast!)  Anyway - 6 months means 3-6 months.  After that most brands (Gap, ON, Gymboree etc) jump to 6-12.  Carters still has a 6-9 month size, but I hear rumors it may be going away.

    6 month is 3-6, they are a little bigger than normal 3-6 months, but much smaller than 6-9 months.

    I thought 6 months meant 3-6 but every brand is so different.  My DS is long so he is only 4 months and wearing 9 months clothes!

    I think 6 month Carter's leans more towards 3-6 month.  B/c DS is now in 6-9 month sleepers, and can barely fit into 6 month Carter's.

    This is what I have found to be true for the most part.  I do find them to be closer to the 3-6 size than the 6-9 stuff by far.  We can usually switch to the "whole" sizes right from the beginning.  I'm finding the bigger he gets it doesn't really show much of a difference as it did when he was smaller.  The newborn vs. 0-3 vs. 3 months was a big difference.

    I don't even pay attention to months anymore, I look at pounds and height.
