Generally they will fit into 0000 straight out. I say generally cos there are exceptions to this rule like 10 pders will be looking at more size 000 and 5 to 6pders are more 00000. It also depends how long baby is too.
So i suggest packing 0000 clothes, some long suits, some short
I've got 00000 clothes from Target packed for this bub, only because my 7lb 10oz DS2 & 8lb 13oz DD2 both fit into this size when they were first born. DD2 was only able to stay in that size for a week though. I find the Target brand clothes are a little bigger than some brands like Bonds. I'm planning to come home from hospital 4hrs after bub arrives so I only have 2 outfits packed. If I am to stay in hospital for any reason, DH will either bring up some more clothes for bub or s/he will just wear the little hospital gowns.
I pack 0000. Usually a singlet and a long sleeve outfit. Doesn't matter if the outfit has legs or not cos I've always had bubs wrapped in a wrap soon after birth.
My bub was 2.95kg or 6lb 8oz and DEF was 00000... She still is easily in 00000 and is almost 4kgs.
I would buy maybe 2-3 00000 jist in case and if your bubs is that small, then you can buy more after birth.
Target has massive baby sale, we got basic white suits and pink suits in 00000 for $3 each!
Both my boys fitted in 00000 for a week or so depending on the brand. I took a couple of 00000s plus 0000's with me due to the longer stay with a csection. Coming home suit was always 0000. I haven't even thought about my bag yet but I've got a way way to go
Its really hard to give you advice mate, cos nobody knows what size their first baby is gonna be!! My smallest one was 8 pound 2, my biggest was 8 pound 11 - so they all fit nicely into 0000 - they were too long for 00000's straight away. (you remember the size of my husband don't you! lol)
I used 0000 for the hosp, took mostly grow suits, singlets, mittens, hat, bring home outfit. and wraps :-) i washed them at the start of my third tri (i think) kept them in draws and my hospital bag, didnt use a plastc bag.
And 0000 only lasted 2weeks-month. So I washed my 000 stuff before birth as well
Well, neither of my bugs ever fitted into 0000 body suits....but DD was 9lb and 54cm long, and DS was 11lb 2oz and 59.5cm long!
If you are using Bonds growsuits, these are quite small...
I only pack 000 as a result. I did squeeze DS into a Baby Patch suit that I had bought for hossy, but only because it had no feet, so it looked like Shorts!
I normally use hospital baby clothes straight after birth, and then mine from the first bath etc in hospital.
This time I want bubs straight into a newborn nighty I have packed.
I then just packed 3 singlets, and 3 new Bodysuits. All are long sleeved. And 3 pairs of Socks. This has been what I have packed the last 2 times for bubs, and it lasted a 5 day stay and a 3 day stay.
Baby clothes in hosp bag
I feel like Im packing like when I go away overnight
