    Dd1 in size 00000 but she was a prem and 2.75kg.

    Dd2 was in 0000 she was 3.5kg she was only in them for a few weeks.

    Ds was in 000 from the beginning because of his length.

    DD came home in 00000 and was in them for 4 weeks? then 0000 for about another 12 ish weeks and now she is in 000 at almost 19 weeks old.
    She is fat but short so even with cloth nappies she still fits 000 at 7kgs

    Crazy how much it varieswith a little bit of weight or length. DS was 2755g at birth and went home the next day He was 38 weeks... hoping I only have another one that big because I had a hell of alot of stitches with him

    DS came home in 0000 that he was too long for (oops!) but was a long skinny bub until...no wait, still is!
    the 000 were the right length but coulda fitted another bub in with him width wise, so after he was born we bought some 0000 with no feet and cut the feet out of the ones we had with feet in them and he just wore booties or socks.

    all 5 of mine have come home in 000's Weights ranging from 7lb 8 to 9lb 9. But 000's has been what they all came home in. Although, Rohan, who was 59cm long at birth is 4 weeks old & now in 00's!!

    Rohan was long Wow , My DS was only 51cm ...

    I have two 00000 suits in white so I think I will start with 0000 in colours and even put one over the other to come home as it will be winter So white underneath and Pink on top....

    I definately look bigger this time round but they say you carry all out in front with a girl

    0000 - for a 3.79kg bub coming home from hospy at six days old

    but due to heatwave conditions, and how much she responded to swaddling, she was in a nappy and singlet and muslin wrap, more than clothing (onesies etc).

    i thought at the time, if i had another bub, i would keep the tiniest clothing, UNWASHED, TAGS KEPT ON, RECEIPTS NEARBY, so that if your bub was bigger than you expected, it would not be hard to at the very least, exchange the clothing for bigger sizes, or get your money refunded.

    easier to take tags off, wash them, once bubs is arrived (the tiny stuff), once you know their size
    rather than prep it all, with the chance you may not use it.

    maybe it wouldn't bother most mums, but i had to be frugal, so i thought this way.
