What size clothes did you take your baby home from hospital in?
DS wore 00000 at birth until about 5 weeks old
then 0000 for a month and so on
I have a few white outfits in 00000 (x2) but want to get some coloured suits
if you have more than one bub, did your babies weigh about the same?
I dont want to buy outfits that wont fit but dont want to not have them if they will....
both mine came home in 000
The smallest we had was 0000, but many outfits were 000. They might have been a little baggy but not too much.
yeah...no.
DD went home in 00000
DS went home in a 0000 but was really a very large 000 and only squashed into it by his awful mother lol.
DD was in 0000 for 3-4 months.
I think stick with the couple of 00000 that you have and buy some 0000 and some 000 depending on how fast your bub grows and remember you can always run out and buy more clothes. We had to do that with DD!
All 5 came home in 000, i had 4x 8 pounders and 1x 7 pounder, so im assuming this baby will come home in 000 as well.
DD came home in a 00000 singlet and newborn nappy, that absolutely swamped her tiny little body!! The singlet came to her ankles almost!! She was tiny when we left. DS is noted as being 'significantly larger than average' for his gestation (oh great, ANOTHER 'thing'!!) so will get back to you with his sizes later :)
Can't remember with DS - probably a 0000.
DD1 - 000 (she was my longest and biggest at 8 pound 11)
DD2 - 0000 (she was 8 pound 10 but short at 52cm)
DD3 - got into 000's last week - so she was in 0000 for 6 weeks.
DS went straight into 000, then 00 2 weeks later! he was in 0's by 3-4 months.
ETA: oops forgot to say he was 9pd 11 at birth and gained weight VERY quickly!
All mine were in 0000 and they were baggy at 1st but by 6 weeks they were getting tight so went into 000 and were in them until about 3 months old.
Moo was 9lb & came home in 000.
DS went straight into 000- i'd keep the coupe of 00000 that you have and get a few of 0000 and 000, like others have said, you can always get some more if you need them :)
DD1 (3.5kg), DS1 (3.8kg), DS2 (3.7kg)- 0000
DS3 - 0000 but they were big born 2.8kg
DD2 - 00000 born 2.2kg came home at 2.1kg
DD3 - 000000 born 1045g came home at 9 weeks weighing 2kg
DS4 - 00000 born 920g came home at 15 weeks weighing 2.8kg
Dd1 in size 00000 but she was a prem and 2.75kg.
Dd2 was in 0000 she was 3.5kg she was only in them for a few weeks.
Ds was in 000 from the beginning because of his length.
0000, just
They were both just over 10lb or 4.6kg
Both were in 000 by about a week or so old
DD was 7lb 12oz and came home in 00000's. In them for a couple weeks and then into 0000's for a few months.
DD came home in 00000 and was in them for 4 weeks? then 0000 for about another 12 ish weeks and now she is in 000 at almost 19 weeks old.
She is fat but short so even with cloth nappies she still fits 000 at 7kgs
Crazy how much it varieswith a little bit of weight or length. DS was 2755g at birth and went home the next day :) He was 38 weeks... hoping I only have another one that big because I had a hell of alot of stitches with him :)
DS1 - 9 pound 4, 51.5cm - 0000
DS2 - 9 pound, 53cm - 0000
DS3 - 9 pound 2, 52cm - 0000
DS3 grew out of newborn nappies this week & outgrew the length of 0000 clothes this week also.
DD- 0000, she was 3.6kg and 55cm long @ 37 1/2wks she was in them for about 4ish weeks.
DS1- 000, he was 4.1kg and 56cm long @ 40 1/2wks and was only in them for about 5ish weeks.
DS2- 000, he was 3.8kg and 57cm long @ 38wks like DS1, he was only in them for a little while. He's now just 16weeks and has been in 0's properly for about 2 weeks.
DD1 00000 but they were quite baggy came home at 2.1kg
DD2 00000 fit a bit better than DD1, but any pants in 00000 fell off because she had no waist due to growth restriction, came home at 2.45kg
DD1 came home in 00000 weighing 2.7kgs
DD2 stayed at home (:rofl:) in 0000 weighing 3.4kgs
DD - 0000 - weighing 3.4kg
DD born 3lb 12oz. Came home at 6 1/2 weeks weighing 5lb 2oz. 00000 was fairly big on her, but she was long. There's no way she would fit into a Kmart 00000, they were enormous.
She soon got too 'tall' for her 00000 clothes so she had to go into baggy 0000 clothes at about 2 1/2 - 3 months.
She's 5 months now and between a 0000 and 000, depending on the brand. Fitting well into Target 000, but still in Kmart 0000 clothes. Huge size difference between Kmart and Target!!
DS came home in 0000 that he was too long for (oops!) but was a long skinny bub until...no wait, still is!
the 000 were the right length but coulda fitted another bub in with him width wise, so after he was born we bought some 0000 with no feet and cut the feet out of the ones we had with feet in them and he just wore booties or socks.
DD1 (1700 grams @ 6.5 wks old) - 000000 (and they still swam on her!)
DS (3.4kgs) - 0000
DD2 (4.1kgs) - 000
Mine came home in 5 0's and in them for a month.
all 5 of mine have come home in 000's Weights ranging from 7lb 8 to 9lb 9. But 000's has been what they all came home in. Although, Rohan, who was 59cm long at birth is 4 weeks old & now in 00's!!
Rohan was long Wow , My DS was only 51cm ...
I have two 00000 suits in white so I think I will start with 0000 in colours and even put one over the other to come home as it will be winter :) So white underneath and Pink on top....
I definately look bigger this time round but they say you carry all out in front with a girl :)
i never really owned anything smaller than 000, didnt see the point :D
my girls were 7lb 5oz and 8lb 1.2oz
0000 for DS1
00000 for DS2 but should have been 000000
That is funny as I never bought anything smaller than 000 assuming the exact same thing, we had one 0000 a friend had bought, but I never removed the tags as I thought it very unlikely that we would need a suit so small :rofl: so after DD1 was born DH, our Family and Friends all went clothes shopping, and DD's first clothes were PP Teddy Bear Clothes, I couldn't have imagined the 000 on her :rofl::
Olive & Beema funny about that too, cause DS1 only fitted into 0000 for short time i thought DS2 would be a big bubba and be the same so i stocked up on 000 not knowing we would need 00000 when he was born, so same thing my mum & sister went and bought heeps of 00000 for him!
We where given some 000's for our littlest man when he was born...he is now fitting into them at 16mths :rofl:
0000 - for a 3.79kg bub coming home from hospy at six days old
but due to heatwave conditions, and how much she responded to swaddling, she was in a nappy and singlet and muslin wrap, more than clothing (onesies etc).
i thought at the time, if i had another bub, i would keep the tiniest clothing, UNWASHED, TAGS KEPT ON, RECEIPTS NEARBY, so that if your bub was bigger than you expected, it would not be hard to at the very least, exchange the clothing for bigger sizes, or get your money refunded.
easier to take tags off, wash them, once bubs is arrived (the tiny stuff), once you know their size
rather than prep it all, with the chance you may not use it.
maybe it wouldn't bother most mums, but i had to be frugal, so i thought this way.
