My old girl was 5 pound 2 and 47cm long, the bonds 00000 suits were huge on her but my second daughter was 7 pound 4 and 48.5cm and she barely fit into the 0000 bonds suits. DD2 was only a kilo bigger and a cm longer then DD1 but it was enough to make her jump a size. But both of them fit into other brands 0000 easily for several weeks. Alot of the smaller sizes i had got passed to my sister and then back again so even if bub doesnt wear them much they can always be passed along to someone you know.
we also were in the club of only 000s. got the shock of our lives when DD was born at 2.7kgs and needed 00000. had to go out and buy a whole bunch of 00000 and 0000. she was in them for quite awhile...until around the 4 month mark too.
i reckon your best bet is to pack some 000s and some 0000s. that way if bubba is a bit smaller you will be covered and if bubba is a bit bigger you'll be fine too!
DD was 4.6kg and the one 0000 we had fit her for about a week - then she was in 000 and 00 after that for a very long time - past her first birthday for some things.
My DD was 3.4kgs and 48cm, 0000's swam on her at the beginning. She was in 0000 until she was about 8-10 weeks old then was in 000 for a long time. 0000 is definately the newborn size.
DS was strait into 000's. he was 7lb15oz but he was 52cm long - so it was 000's for his long body (like his mum ) we where given some 0000 stuff - but i couldnt get them on due to the shortness of the body part. i found the bonds coverall thingys (maybe wonder suites?) worked really well as they had a little more stretch in them. but in saying that DS can still fit into 00 shorts we where given but he's a size 1 in shirts - again due to the longness of his body. each bubba is different!
well i am glad i have a couple of 0000 , i will have to re pack the hossy pack though, since its all 000 lol..
Its all so confusing , why cant it all be simple i mean its little ppl's clothes lol.
I know i struggle with my own clothes sizing as all makes are different ..
Those bonds suits i wanted to grab some of those, but was so confused as to what size to get i left it ,might grab one of each see how we go for now
