Best Brands for Long and Lean Babes

I searched the boards, but nothing was coming up for me, so please excuse if this has been mentioned before.

My LO is 11 Weeks, 26 inches in height, and around 14 pounds. He's too skinny for 6 month pants, but those are the only ones that fit length. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't have any answers but we are having the same issue! DD is still newborn size in the waist but is very much growing in length :-/

    Had this problem with both my sons. Found that old navy's clothes tend to run and long and skinny. They fit my boys well

    I don't know that there is one brand that will work! We have so many of the same brand of clothes where one will fit fine and the next will be so big in the waist that they fall off.

    We have a pair of osh gosh pants that are almost twice as wide as another pair. It's crazy!

    My LO is currently wearing high waters because her legs are a bit long for newborn sizes, but her waist won't hold up 0-3 months.

    We are going to take tucks in Olivia's pants. She's a skinny Minnie!

    Children's Place has stretchy sleepers that are good for long and skinny but I'm not sure about their other clothes.

    Great thread idea. Apparently my husband and I's genetics equal long and lean baby not sure how that happened. At six weeks she is in three months clothes and growing out of them. We have contemplated cutting the feet off footed pajamas and most everything looks like capris on her. Some of the random brands I have found at Marshalls seem to fit.

    The J Crew baby stuff runs long and lean, I've noticed.

    Carters, Ralph Lauren, Gymboree seem to fit.

    Children's place has the jeans that have the elastic band to adjust the waist. I buy those for DS who is long and lean. Carter sleepers tend to be longer than other brands in my experience.

    I think Carter's and Old Navy/Gap fit more slimly. Gymboree is always short and wide, ime. Jumping Beans at Kohl's also fits well, but size up because it shrinks a lot. DD is long and her 6m Jumping Beans jeggings fit perfectly (for now!)
