Gerber onesies are SO small

Quizzle · August 2010

I knew they ran small, but I'm shocked... We were going through our baby clothing and I found some that looked like they'd fit.

Our daughter is about to outgrow her 0-3 month clothes so I'm getting ready to start washing her 3-6 month stuff. The Gerber 12 month onesies fit her perfectly. I think they shrunk a little bit in the wash since they looked a bit larger before that (but not a lot). And they're rough!

Seriously? A 12 month onesie on my 12-pound 5-week-old?

That is annoying. We registered for some too.
My friend told me she much preferred the Carter's onsies because they were thicker and fit her daughter better.

Yes, Carters is much nicer. I really like Target's Circo brand, too.

we received some as a gift, they are 6-9 months and when i compared them to carters it's the size of a newborn.. even smaller then the 0-3.. crazy! and yes i don't like the fabric either, very thin and scratchy

I will change that on my registry then. There is a Carter's outlet close by too. I'll stock up.

I registered for Gerber organic onsies. Are those better?

Oh nuts! I got the 3 - 6 mos. onesie with a cross for DS party after his baptism in a couple of weeks. Thought he would fit in it,but maybe not.

We got a package of newborn ones with mittens and side snaps on clearance for a couple dollars- I doubt they'll fit.

Yeah, I got some newborn ones at my shower and there was no way they were fitting Ryan. Ever. So I brought them to the hospital and donated them to the NICU. Figured they might fit some of the preemies.

Yikes!! I didn't run into this problem, maybe because most of my onesies are anywhere from 5.5 to 4.5 years old(hand me downs from #1 &#2), but it's a good heads up not to buy them for the new baby. Maybe they changed where they're made to cut costs. Shame on Gerber.

LittleApple · August 2010

Yeah. I don't know why Gerber makes their onesies so dang small! I prefer the Carters ones.

Yep. Gerber onesies run VERY small and shrink big time. We have had better luck with the Carter's onesies - they are more fit to size and better quality, IMO.

I too am going with Carter's onesies. The Gerber onesies seem so thin and cheaply made. I love that the Carter's onesies are soft and thicker, plus you can find them at TJMAXX.
