Hi Ladies,
As you can see from my ticker, I'm currently 14 weeks with triplets. There is little doubt I will be joining you here at some point. I'm trying to prepare for my little ones now, while I'm still mobile. I know that if they end up in NICU I won't have to worry about clothing them, but once they come home, I'm assuming they'll still be too little for NB or 0-3 clothes. Which brand and what types (gowns, footed PJs) of clothings have you found to work best for your itty-bitty ones? TIA...
Re: Favorite Preemie Clothes Brand?
my link below to "new nicu parents" has some information on preemie baby stuff..
i would have to say probably carters- it's just precious stuff. (the REAL carters, not child of mine or just one year... though their's are pretty cute too.) it depends on how big they are though... and if they're long and fat, short and fat, short and skinny etc. there is, sadly, no continuity of sizing! ugh. it's also easier to get away with dresses and onesies that are too big as opposed to pants or sleepers, it's harder to deal with the "too long".
gerber NB is pretty close to a preemie size... and wren was wearing some faded glory NB sizes when she came home too.
Another vote for Carters. I also liked the Little Me brand stuff and when he got bigger, the baby gap and gymboree under 7 lbs size was good. Our nicu let him wear outfits once he was about 3 lbs. Sleep and plays with snaps were the easiest to get him in and out of (they didn't have to go over his head and the wires could come out the spaces btwn the snaps).
Hoping your little ones stay in there for a long time!
We got our coming home outfit from kushies.com. I was also just at a Carter's store and they had some adorable stuff. Zutano.com aslo has a cute line called itzy bitzy. Gerber NB size might also work since that brand runs small.
