    Hi Shell1

    DD was 7lb 9 oz and 49cms. 0000's were pretty big and she had a few 00000's for about a month.

    The big thing that I found was DD was a very hot baby! I had no idea, I thought all babies were the same temperature If she went to bed in a wondersuit she sweated to no end, so I found some lovely little nighties in a hand me down bag and they were fantastic!

    Enjoy your little one!

    One thing I found with the terry clothe Bonds wondersuits was that the 000 was pretty much the same size as a 0000 brand of sleepsuits else where and they were also one of the first thing DD grew out of.
    I had bought a gorgeous outfit in the UK as our leaving hossy outfit but had bought it in 0-3months - it was swimming on DD, so we had to roll the cuffs and legs up! It still looked cute though

    Our little girl was 8 weeks in 0000 - they seemed huge at the start.
    My nephew was in 0000 for about 3-4 weeks.

    Hey guys,thanks for your advise

    was born 3.6k not sure what that is in pounds, and 50cm long, she fits into 0000 and they have room in them .

    But some 0000 are way to big for her, its so strange how much one size can vary

    Both my kids were in 00000 in the beginning, about a month. I had a boy (7lbs 14 oz) and a girl (6 lbs 11 oz). Both were within a week of their due date. Personally I liked having the 00000 clothes to show the kids off in something that actually fit them reasonably but they are out of them so fast so it's not really worth it to buy them, imo, unless you have a preemie. Since they only had a couple 00000 items, they were mostly in 0000 in the beginning.

    Re: New born baby sizes?

    We had mostly 000 stuff, and just a couple of 0000 singlets. Bubs was born 3078g and 49.5cm, which is fairly average. Most of the 000 stuff is too big for her, except for the wondersuits which are all way too small. The brands vary so much it's ridiculous. I find the high-necked 000 stuff is a good fit - things with buttons on the shoulder, and the newborn nighties are fantastic. We have 5 or 6 onesies that fit pretty good (all 000) but only use them for going out.

    The nighties are just so easy to use, they have elastic around the neck so they are high up to keep her chest warm, but don't choke her, and it's super easy to get to her nappy. They are 000 size but elasticated around the wrists as well so even though the sleeves are slightly too long, they stay in place. Highly reccommended!!

    With DD i brought 0000 clothes and never got to use any of them she was 9 pound 6.5 (4.270kgs) so she went straight into 000 and lastest about 4 weeks in them.

    DS was a little smaller 8 pound 11 (3.950kgs) and fit into a few 0000 clothes then straight into 000 hes now 9 weeks and moving into 00 for length.

    Maybe grab a few 0000 clothes as they really do grow out of them really quickly. Also as someone else said bonds clothes are always smaller so grab the next size up in them.
