My DS1 was in 0000 for about a month. DS2 only a couple of weeks, he was a big boy.
DD about a month too.
Usually they will need 0000 for the hospital stay at least.
I would get a couple of singlets, or bonds gro suits or whatever you think they will spend the most time in.
Say around 4 singlets, 2-3 gro suits and maybe and outfit or two for the going home out fit. I liked my babies to have a nice going home out fit
My two boys that where 8lb10oz and 8lb7oz where never in them...my DD1 was 7lb8oz and was in them for about a month.
My prems where in them much longer...DS4 grew out of them at 9mths...but he is still in 000's and some 00's at 15mths
So it really depends on bubs size.
It might be nice just to buy a going home outfit and maybe just a couple of nice outfits for if you go out. If the 000's are to big they is still ok around the house.
Neither of mine were in 0000 :blush:. If can borrow a few 0000 do but I wouldn't buy any. You can always roll up the sleeves aand a bit of length in the legs will be ok.
My boys were in 0000s for 3 or 4 weeks I think. Not very long, but they grew REALLY quickly (went from 50th to 90th percentiles by their 2 month check ups).
I would expect an average sized bub to be in them for about a month. Maybe get half a dozen little suits. Don't go overboard, it isn't hard to send someone to the shops to grab some more if you find you need them after bub is born.
DD was 8 pounds and in them for about a month but also fitting 000's, especially Bonds which seems to be a smaller make. I just went to Best and Less and bought all my 0000 from there, so cheap!
DS 1 &2 never got into 0000's lol they were monsters they went into 000 and maybe grew from there like rockets lol
DS 3 was in 00000 for about 4 weeks, then 0000 till he was 3 months and then 000/00 till he was 10-11 months he was so tiny
DD just got out of her 0000, but jumped to 00 somehow i dont know, she really just did get a huge growth spurt, she is in between 000 and 00 but i put her in 00 due to the 000 looking very uncomfortable..
both of mine wore them for a month or so but they were getting short near the end of it cloth nappies made it a bit quicker though both 51cm born and 7pd11oz and 8pd11oz
