ON sizing - 6 to 12?

Courtney&Jason · January 2010

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from ON because LO is growing out of the 3-6 size. I was a little surprised to see that sizing went from 6-12 rather than 6-9 months. Is this normal sizing and I'm just being an ignorant first-timer?

Anyone know from experience if 6-12 runs a little small?

It is normal sizing.

It's normal. I've found though that ON clothing shrinks after you wash it. I wash all dd's clothes with cold water and hang them to dry but notice they tend to shrink a little more than other brands so keep that in mind.

Of course that's just my experience with it.

Gap has this sizing too. So far, I've found it to be pretty true to size, maybe a little on the small side.

P is almost 10 months, ~18lbs, and ~26". ON 6-12's still fit her, but are starting to get snug. Gap 6-12's still fit fine.

ON stuff runs big on DD, but she is tiny though. I found Gymboree goes to 6-12 too.

Not all brands go from 6-9 and 9-12. Gymboree also goes from 6-12. It's kind of annoying, but I will admit ON clothes fit my daughter the best when she was done with 3-6. 6-9 clothes often get too short on very quickly.

Normal sizing...the 6-12 mo. size is still really roomy on my 20 lb. almost 8 mo. old. Gap 6-12 mo. fits the same way on him: they both seem to run big for us.

I agree, I think 9-12 would be more appropriate but my take on it is I think babies tend to "level out" (not grow as fast) once they start to move more so maybe 6-12 is just a general size for that time range? Obviously this wouldn't apply to all kids but I'd say it applies to most.

My DD fits well in most 6-12 but I've found the Gap 6-12 runs big, in our case.

I find that the 6-12 pants were short on him my 9-10 mos, although at that point they finally fit well in the waist. I have a tall boy, a little on the skinny side.

ON runs true in separates for B, but the one piece rompers are always small/short on him...

I have not tried any 6-12 items yet. but my guess is for us that will serve as 6-9.
