Gerber sizing

goodgalpal · January 2014

I've heard Gerber runs small. How much smaller? Is it one size smaller? More?

Oh my. Gerber runs VERY small. So small that I quit buying it. However, I will say one to two sizes. I wouldn't buy anything newborn in Gerber. I'm very sure when my DD wore a 3 month Carters she was a 6-9 Gerber.

Oh my! 2 sizes is quite a lot of variation! Does it continue into toddler wear also?

I think it depends on the baby, DD coUld wear the correct size in 3-9 Gerber. And was never more than one size larger than other brands. I will say I only used them to layer under other clothing because they were very thin and did not wash as well as other brands.

I'd say one size. DD3 wears 12 month Gerber onesies or sleepers but mostly 9 month in other brands (Carters, TCP, etc.)

Yeah, I'm not sure why Gerber is so off the mark on their sizing but I'd also say its probably off by 2 sizes compared to Carters.

We stopped buying the infant stuff, but my daughter wears a 2t pjs and I would for sure buy a 3t if I were buying Gerber.

I think Gerber really only makes jammies at this point. If you are looking for a good brand, Carters for onesies and such is a great way to go. They are thick and feel like a good quality.

I stopped buying any gerber clothing when my DS was an infant. It always ran about two sizes too small on him. I did receive a few gerber onesies as gifts after I had my DD and it was the same with her. Also, I found the material to be really thin and I don't like that. I like carter clothing much better.

Someone purchased DS some 0-3 onesies at his baby shower that were waaaay too small for him when he was born. He was 9.3 lbs. I'll never buy gerber.

it runs super smalls and washes terribly in my opinon. I stopped using their onesies and pjs. Carters isn't that much more $ and better quality

One of my favorite layering pieces has been the thin cotton Gerber lap-shoulder undershirts, which go great under a sleeps and plays and long sleeve onesies or anything that will be snapped over.

The 18m and 24m sizes fit loosely, but comfortably on my average 5 m old. I was not a fan of any other Gerber item I owned. I also prefer Carters for baby staples. They have much more predictable sizing and great sales!
