Carter's Sizing ?

in August 2012 Moms

I didn't realize that Carter's clothes go from NB to 3M. I thought 3M meant 3-6M, but it must be 0-3M. I bought a couple of outfits on clearance in 3M for Christmas and now I'm guessing that they probably will be too small for DD. Unfortunately I already took off the tags and washed them. :(

Can someone confirm the Carter's sizing for me?

    Carter's is NB, 3M, 6M, 9M, 12M, 18M, 24M, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T... 

    Everyone I talk to always says don't go by months size, go by weight.

    Thats a link to a random piece of clothing. Right below the color options click on the 'so simple sizing chart'

    3m is 21.5-24 inches long and 8-12.5lbs.

    If things don't fit you can always donate them to a shelter! I bought a lot of baby clothes at x-mas, if they don't fit my little girl thats what I'm going to do.

    I remember hearing someone say that 3M means up to 3 months, 6M means up to 6 months, and so on...

    Like pp said, you really need to go based off of the weight of the clothing's size, not the actual months. All kids are different also. Majority of babies will be a size bigger than their age. DS was different than that norm and we had  no way of knowing that a year in advance when we bought size 12mths short sets for the summer (when he'd only be 9mths old). By that summer summer he was only in 9mth clothes and didn't fit into 12mth clothes until fall/winter when actually turned 1 and shorts in NJ were not an option. He's not underweight either, according to the dr's charts he's in the 50th percentile, he just never fit into clothes the size bigger than his age like most kids do.

    Well, I guess she'll either be small and fit in the outfits or I'll donate them.

    Yep, 3months = 0-3 months (though I did find the 3 months to run a tiny bit bigger than 0-3 months for some outfits).  My son was on the larger side due to length (75-90%) and we found them to be pretty true to size, but by 6 months he was in 6-12, 12 months, and some 18 month clothing.  It really varies on the child and even the type of clothing, not just brand.

    Gerber runs super small.  Newborn fits more like preemie and 0-3 months is more like newborn.  I avoid most of their stuff for this reason.

    I'd hang on to them.  You never know, some babies are peanuts and are in each size for a while.
