What size did you LO wear home from the hospital?

dandlelyon · October 2012

Curious because the girls were 4+ weeks early, so they were in preemie clothes for thier trip home. I just have one LO this time, and am trying to decide if I should bring a NB or 0-3M outfit to the hosptial (DH and I are both very tall) and the twins were very tall for preemies (19in, 20in at 35 weeks).

She wore NB, because that is what we had, but she could have fit into preemie stuff. She was 5lbs 5oz 19 in. Born at 37 weeks.

0-3months (it was huge on her) but that was the smallest size the florida gator footie came in.

Im almost going to say SS because DD came home in a onsie the hospital provided... but im sure it was NB, so thats what I picked.

I would say you are fine with NB. Even if your baby is a little larger, they stretch. Or just bring a NB and a 0-3 outfit- not like they take up a ton of room Wink

I have 2 NB sleepers backed in my hospital bag

M was born just after 35 weeks, 6# 7oz, 20.5" long and wore a Carter's NB outfit home. Mostly because that's all we had, but it fit her pretty well. I tend to think Carter's stuff runs small though.

DS wore a 0-3 onesie but he was swimming in it.

C was 8lbs 12 oz and he still needed a NB outfit. We had both a NB and a 0-3 JIC. He actually wore NB for a good month (except in Gerber).

I responded to the other post before seeing this. DD was 7lbs and 19 inches at birth (39w) and wore NB home. She didn't fit into 0-3 for a while.

Both of my LO's wore Newborn. However, both were born at 38 weeks and were 6 lbs 8 oz.

Em wore a newborn outfit but it was way too big for her

DD was 8 lbs, 5 oz. and a GERBER newborn fit her! So hard to believe, those things are TINY!! She fit into newborn stuff for a couple of weeks and then moved into 0-3 months.

I brought both NB and 0-3 because they kept telling me how big she was going to be. She ended up only being 8lb, 21 inches. NB was just fine! 0-3 would have been too big.
