Preemie Clothes

gault530 · April 2013

How many preemie outfits did you have and for how long did your LO wear them? Carters had a 50% off sale last week and I went a little crazy and bought seven outfits for each kiddo. I've since received another preemie out fit for each and some preemie onesies. Should I return some of what I bought? FWIW we have small kids. DD was always in the 10% for height and 5% for weight. So far DS and DD2 are in the 3% for weight and 10% for height. Of course that can change as they grow.

Should I just buy newborn or 0-3 month? We have no clothes for DS as we only have a DD. I also need to stop feeling guilty for buying him clothes and not DD2.

My MIL bought our daughter a lot of preemie clothes (she was born at 34 + 4). She was 19" at birth, and ended up only wearing preemie clothes a few times - she is skinny but too long! They were all Carter's brand, and she was all scrunched in them. You

We had 7 outfits. LO wore them for a month after coming home from the hospital because the newborn and 0-3 were too long for her and she would get her feet stuck in the legs and get annoyed (she was 4 lb 15 oz at discharge). For me, I liked havi

Our girls came home around their due date, each over 7lbs. We went straight to newborn Carter's sizes, which tend to run a bit small, anyway. DD2 was actually in 03m sizes after only a few weeks, simply because she was too long for their newborn sizes, an

This is a good point. Definitely ask your NICU when they allow babies to wear clothes. We also had but never used onsies and pants. One piece outfits with snaps are far easier for you and the nurses

My mom made micro preemie Velcro clothes that she wore for a long time as she was 1lb, 11oz at birth. She only wore preemie clothes for a week or so before moving to NB. But, it felt like she was in NB for a very long time too. So, she sort of skipped ove

My DD was born at 35 1/2 weeks and she wore preemie for only a few weeks. She was 5 lb 3 oz, but 18 1/2 in long....so she didn't weigh much, but was long. She wore newborn for a long time and is still wearing 0-3 months. She will be 4 months on April 17.

Lo was born at 32 weeks and wore Preemie clothes for at least 4 weeks once she came home. She came home in July, but we never used any of the onesies that my MIL bought. We only used the button/zip up sleepers. She spent most of her time
