How long were your bubs in 0000's?

My cousin was remarking yesterday that her little boy was only now moving into 000's at 2 months! DS was massive and was in 000's when he was brand new (never touched the 0000's - which was such a waste!).

So DD is due in 5 weeks and silly me has just gone and bought 000's due to past experience. Apparently she is average in size compared to huge DS. So now I am thinking I may need some 0000's this time around - but really just want to buy enough to get us through (we will definitely not be having any more kids after DD).

So how long were your LO's in 0000's? How many would you suggest I look at buying?

Thanks :)

My DS was on the smaller side (3.035kg and 50cm long), and he was in 0000 for about at least a month, probably longer.

DS was in 0000s for a couple of weeks, he was averaged sized as well. A friend of mine has a little girl who is 2 days older than DS and is STILL in 0000s and they are almost 6 months old.

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 :lol:

Never. Either of them. lol They were too long for most of them, and the few I did buy for DD1 she never touched, so I didn't bother this time around!

My boy was only in 0000's for a about a week, 8pd 7oz born. He did put on weight quickly tho. It's hard to say how many to buy. I only bought a couple of suits and singlets. Probably best to wait til after bub's is born to buy anymore.

DD1 was 6lb15 (not sure in kilos) and was in 0000 for approx 2 months and D2 was 7lb10oz and was around the same

My girls were both in 0000's for a couple of months but they were on the smaller side, DD1 2.9kg and DD2 2.9kg at birth and 2.4kg at 2 weeks.

My boys were never in them. Straight to 000s

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.

never! lol... straight into 000s =)

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!

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 :lol:
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.

DD never fit into 0000's and she was born @36 weeks.

My DD was the same size and wore hers for a good couple of months too.

Depends where they are from. He is too chubby for the pumpkin patch NB size but can still fit into 0000 from Big W or Best & Less

Other than that they are getting a little tight.

My Moo was 9lb at birth, I think 53cm in length & never wore a size 0000.

By December he was in 00.

No harm in buying a few smaller sizes, if you keep the tags on you can always give them to someone else.
