I am just curious as i was thinking about this last night.
Im wondering how much did ur bub weigh and what size clothes did they go straight into??? for eg 8lb 12oz = 0000's ?!?!?!
prob a stupid question but i have nooooo idea what size im meant to be buying.....
thanks :)
DS was 8 pound 2.5 oz and fit into 000. There were a couple of 0000 that he fit into but only for about a week!!!!
Nina was 6lb 9oz and was in 00000 & 0000 for the first month.
Emily was 8lb and was in 0000 for about 2 days, now it's 000 mostly.
sophie was 7lb5oz and went straight into 000 dont think i even owned 0000 stuff!
DS was 7lb 13oz and was in 0000 for about 5 weeks. For some reason they were still quite big on him.
He is 8 months now and in 0 /1 so he went through the sizes really quickly.
Our son was 9lb 8oz and went into 0000 (so 000 bonds). We had lots of newborn clothes on loan so we used those but we probably could have put him in 000.
MJ was 8lb 6oz and wore some 0000, only for a couple of weeks thou - mostly in 000.
bonds wondersuits you def need to go a size up, i have found that they are on the small size, so i wouldnt bother getting a 0000
I've had 2 8 pounders and a 7 pounder, and they all began wearing 0000's. I guess i would recommend buying a few of each size, then you can buy more of what you need later.
Mine were all average 71/2 lbs and for the first couple of weeks wore 0000's. It seems like a bit of a waste but 000's were just too big to be practical!
Zander was 8lb 14oz and he was in 0000 for quite a few weeks. Juliette was 9lb 14oz and is in 0000 at the moment, but looks like she might grow out of them pretty soon.
I think a lot of it depends on length rather than weight to be honest.
DD was 9lb 9oz and wore some 0000's but without feet in them as it was summer. I think she had 0000 for two weeks and then went into 000.!!
I agree with Sarah that length has a lot to do with it.
My DS was 5lbs1oz and wore 00000 for about 8 weeks and then 0000 for about four weeks after that. Yes, he was tiny! But I agree with Raven, although it's a short time, it's just too impractical to put them in stuff that's too big.
wow! thanks girls for replying :) lucky i did ask coz theres a special on bonds suits atm and i was gonna go buy 0000's or smaller. thanks.
Just as well! Bonds are annoying like that! Always buy a size bigger. Even my 3 year old DS needs the bigger size in Bonds at his age!
I think we had one 0000 bonds suit and there was no chance of that ever going on him!
Yeah, Bonds is annoyingly small!
Yep I agree with size too! Paris & Seth (9lb 1oz & 9lb 12 oz) were in 0000 for a little while at first too!
Yeah, Alex was 8lb and in 0000's for 2 months.
Although he *could* have come out of them earlier i didn't want him to grow :rofl:.
Just be careful with Bonds clothes, always buy the bigger size up (well in the vodysuit things anyway)
Claire was 2.9kg (6 lb 7 oz) and wore 00000 and 0000 for about 3 months. The 000 were just too big. She was 48cm long, so not a long baby.
My DD was 3.915kg which is approximately 8lb 6oz and she was 52cm long. She wore 0000 and they were still a tad roomy. She lasted in them for about 6 weeks or so (longer for Pumpkin Patch NB stuff), so a fair amount of time.
I would say have a few 0000 outfits on hand and you can always buy more if you need them. I always liked having DD in clothes that fit her rather then clothes that swam on her iykwim. And every baby grows at different rates, so some may last longer then others in a certain size :)
DD was 6lb 7oz (2.9kg) and 46cm long. She was in 0000 for about 10 - 12 weeks but she grew out of the 0000 wondersuit by 8 weeks.
my baby was 9 lb 3 1/2 - 53cm long was in 0000 wondersuits for about 2 weeks- other brands longer. Some brands of 000 were way to big for him! They fit fine now at 5 weeks old though!
My DS was 8lb 7oz, and we put him straight into 000's.
Oskar was 5 pound 12 - 2620 grams - so he was 00000 and 0000's and was in them for a little while, he's now 14 months and 0 (for some pants) and 1's mostly.
Joshua was 7 pound - 3160 grams? - and was in I think from memory 0000 for a little while.
DS was 7lb 11 when he was born, and I was really glad to have some 0000's for the first few weeks. I was a bit sentimental, cos I bought a special "first clothes" outfit, which was a 0000, and I'm glad I did, because it was a nice fit on him. Think he wore 0000 for around 4-5 weeks but can't remember precisely. For what it's worth, Target have some really good 1 piece suits, which I personally like much more than the wondersuits as the cotton feels softer. But that's just me.
thanks girls!! i went and brought 2 more 000 wondersuits and when i got home i measured them up against my 0000's of other brands and the 000's were the same size!! so all u girls were right...i wonder why bonds does this...
My First born DD was 6Ib 12Oz and 00000 was to big for her for the first 3 weeks then she went into 0000..
My second born DS was 8Ib 41/2Oz and he was in 0000 for a few months hes now 10 months old and still in 00
