What size clothes did your bub come home from hospital in?

[[M]umma[M]ia]

DD was 7lb 12oz and came home in 00000's. In them for a couple weeks and then into 0000's for a few months.

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.

DD1 (1700 grams @ 6.5 wks old) - 000000 (and they still swam on her!)
DS (3.4kgs) - 0000
DD2 (4.1kgs) - 000

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!!

[Mum2Romone]

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

That is funny as I never bought anything smaller than 000 assuming the exact same thing, we had one 0000 a friend had bought, but I never removed the tags as I thought it very unlikely that we would need a suit so small so after DD1 was born DH, our Family and Friends all went clothes shopping, and DD's first clothes were PP Teddy Bear Clothes, I couldn't have imagined the 000 on her

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.
