    Clothes/Growth help, please??

    Hi,
    Been given heaps of clothes for DD and I'm trying to sort them out.
    Gastro-babies have a slow growth rate and are typically small but I just dont know how big she's going to be, and when?

    She's 3.88kg (8lb 5oz) a week ago. And she's in size 0000. She's really long, which is expected. I'm nearly 5 foot 10 and DP is over over 6 foot 2.

    How big were your prems at different ages?

    DD was 34+1 weeks at 1.69kg (3lb 12oz)

    Thanks

    Dd1 was a 34 weeker but a bit bigger than your dd at 2.5kg. She was very long though and was in 00000 which were too big. She was in 0000 for about three months and then she was in 000 until about 15 months, apart from the bond suits with legs, she was always a couple of sizes up with her length.

    Here's a link to my blog (on here) which has my boys growth charts on there. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-growth-chart/

    DS1 was in 5x0 until about 4 months old and then 4x0 until about 5 months.
