Yep Bonds are alot smaller. 000's should be small enough.
I'd stick with singlets in 000's too.
Get a couple of things 0000, but not too many. They might last til around 2 months in 0000 in some things, but DD2 only lasted about 2 weeks! She was 8lb 9oz born.
000 should last a good 3 - 6 months depending on the size of the baby. Jesse is 6 months & still wears 000 shorts & a couple of tshirts, but the rest are 00's. He only really made the change to 00's at about 5 months.
So, yeah. On average 000's are the best to buy. A couple of little things if you want to, but when they grow out of them its so unfair! & they do it so fast!
yeah like the others said, pick up some 0000 suits. i'd stick with the 000 singlets as like the others said, they can be worn big.
in the end we had to buy 00000 stuff as DD was born 6lbs (2.7kgs) and the 0000 stuff was swimming on her for a good couple of months. then she moved to 0000 for another month and a bit, then got to the 000. she is now 00 to 0 and has just turned 1...so you never know! you might end up with a small 'un like me! LOL!
HTH! and good luck with the sales! I loved being the pregnant lady staring off the others over the last set of sheets! LOL!
Personally, I wouldn't worry about any 0000 - they grow so quick that 000 should be fine in most onesies - separates are different and you may need 0000 - but possibly not either. And being in Perth and he being a summer bub, he aint going to need a lot of clothes anyway unless you have a fully airconditioned house.
Target brand clothes aren't too bad, but with a boy, there are bugger all choices - their summer range for boys this year is pretty ordinary I think. So I would just get the basics from there and get outfits from somewhere else.
OK, I'm back. I got a selection, two packs of four 000 singlets, some individual 000 suits, a couple of 0000 suits, a couple of 0000 singlets (just because they're so cute and they only cost $3!). I'll take the 0000 stuff to hospital, and some 000 just in case.
Also got two safety gates, a nappy bucket (wanted two, only one left). Four sets of cotton cot sheets, some towels and face washers. Oh, and one bib.
I agree Trillian - I don't like most of their boys' stuff. I just got the singlets in plain colours - blue, white and yellow, and white and blue suits. Will get some nicer stuff from other shops. My mum bought us the most gorgeous, soft wool hoodie, in caramel and cream from BabyLand. It's so cute! It's a size 0 though, so won't use it for a while. I prefer subtle boys' clothes, not all trucks and cars. Don't want to stereotype him too much before he's even born!
Sounds like you did well on your expedition. It is really hard to find plain clothes that aren't covered in logos or pictures, but there are a few brands that are pretty good. I know JKonline usually has some plain, basic items.
If you are wanting to get any more short sleeved no leg body suits (I mostly use these instead of singlets as you can't accidentally end up with the singlet inside the nappy and ending up wet) head off to Best & Less. They have them for $1.99 right now. Some have great slogans on them, others have prints, all are cute. I've bought these before and the've lasted well despite constant washing.
