sick of having to go exchange tot sizes...

I copied this from what to expect website. It was my email today..... Are a good fit. Here?s how toddler clothing sizes break down according to a child?s height and weight: 2T: 25?27 lbs., 32?34 in. 3T: 28?32 lbs., 35?37 in. 4T: 33?36 lbs., 38?40 in. 5T: 37?42 lbs., 41?43 in. That?s generally speaking, though. Some other things to keep in mind regarding fit: If your child is on the short side, she may be able to wear clothing labeled in month sizes (for a baby) rather than in the T (toddler) size. Month sizes have the same weight range but a slightly lower height range. European sizing is based on how tall tots are, so convert your child?s height from inches to centimeters (you can try this calculator) and you?ll always know exactly which size to buy. If the toddler size of an outfit you like is out of stock, the kid size may well fit your small fry: Kid sizes tend to be longer with less room in the seat (toddler sizes allow space for a diaper), so a tall toddler who?s totally potty trained can probably pull off a kid size. Swimsuits typically run small, so you?ll almost always need to buy one size up from what your tot usually wears. (If you buy a bigger size in a one piece for a little girl, you may need to fasten the straps together in the back to keep them from slipping down her shoulders.) If you want to spring for a fancy outfit from a high-end kiddie boutique (for a special occasion, say), go for it ? but be aware that these tend to run small, too.

    That is awesome! Jax is still in 12 month stuff for height but he's 25 lbs and it's a little on the tighter side for him (which he says is cool because he likes to show off his baby muscles when he's around Em and Sam). I have some 18 and 24 month stuff that I'm about to pull out though and see how it fits him!

    em is 24 pounds and 31 inches but she wears 24 month and 2T because I hate the fight to get the clothing on her. I think she will still be wearing this size through fall I can start fall shopping!

    Most of R's clothes are still in the 12 month range, and are still pretty loose. But we also have some 18 month clothing that fits her pretty well. I've found it also varies on brand. Thanks for the good info Red!

     

    ETA: R is 22 lbs and 30 inches. Right in the middle of her age group!

    Ok, you guys are making me feel like my kid is a freak of nature. I put DS in a 12mo onesie today and it fit him perfectly.

    I'm having a hard enough time processing this, could you knock it off?

    I hate having to shop for DD's clothes.  Her weight puts her in a size 12 and her heights puts her in an 18 month so unless it's a dress nothing ever fits. 
    From miscarriages, a diagnosis of a bicornuate uterus, and fibroid removal surgery...It's been quite the journey but it was all well worth it. Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
