What size clothes did your newborn come home in?

[OceanPrincess]

I managed to cram my DS (10lbs 11oz!) into a large 0000, but really he was straight into 000. Pity as we had some very cute 0000 things that he just never wore!

DD was 8lb 10oz and was in 0000 for 2 weeks!

DS came home in 0000, but was quickly into 000. I only had about 4 x 0000 suits, I figured they were a bit of a waste of money probably.

Even my friend whose twins were 6 weeks premmie wore the hospitals gear till they came home at just before 37 weeks gestation and they came home in 0000 - sure a bit big, but nothing wrong with that.

My kids were pretty long, DD went into 0000 at 3.4kg (7.6lb) but only just, and DS wouldn't have ever fit into anything smaller than 000! He was 4.2kg (9.24lb) I have just gotten this bub 000, I haven't bothered with the 0000. I doubt he'd fit into them at all or if he does it wouldn't be for long!!

00000 for DD1 she was 6lb 11oz and 45cm
0000 for DD2 she was 6lb 11oz but 47cm... the length made the difference.

DD was 3.52kg (7lb12oz) and went home in 00000's. She was a shorty though (45cm) so they fitted her for a good 6 weeks.

I hate it when it's pounds ! my Ds was 00000 and was 2755g, under 3kg....

They fit him for weeks

I hate it when it's pounds !

LOL, me too, I was never given my kids weights in pounds, I had to google and convert it!

0000 for DD1 (8lb10 or 3910g) & DS2 (8lb12 / 4010g), 0000 but not for long for DS1 (9lb13 / 4440g) and pretty much straight into 000 for Pie (10lb8 47**g, can't remember )

DS was 3.1kg (6ld14oz) and he was in a 0000 mind you I took with us a short & a long sleeved/leg 4x0 and a short & a long sleeved/leg 3x0 cause I didn't know what his size would be or what the weather would be doing in September. It can be pretty hot here or pretty cold. I'd say just throw in something of each size. At the hospital they supplied the bodysuits for the hospital stay and they were all 000 and way too big for our bub. But I guess it's the most average size or they would have some smaller ones kwim. Our DS is 12 weeks old in a couple of days and still fits into a handful of his 4x0 clothes they must be a larger make or something! What we did find though was that it really doesn't matter if the clothes are a big bigger on bub, it's not like they care either and it can be quicker and easier to dress them anyway.

DD was only a little 4 pounder so she came home in 00000 which swam on her for a few weeks.
DS was 6lb 13 and he came home in 00000s too but was only in most of them 3 weeks because of his length.

[Life is Good]

DS weighed 8lb8 / 4020g and went straight into 000 (which was a pity because he had received so many 0000 clothes as gifts).

[Heaven]

DD was 8lb 10oz and was in 0000 for 2 weeks!
