you could email them, but tbh if they are bigger in size he will grow into them anyway

i had a similar problem with maternity trousers i bought from littlewoods, they were labeled 29" leg but actually measured 31" - they were no use when i emailed as the only advice was to send them back and reorder, dont think the person was actually capable of understanding that they were labeled incorrectly (as opposed to being the wrong size) in the end i paid £15 to have them hemmed coz i didnt want to run the risk of being sent another 3 pairs with the same problem

I would just take them back to the store.
That's what I did when I had a problem with boots mini mode - their 3-6 sleepsuits are smaller than their 0-3 (!!!) I was given a refund.

i've noted this with the sainsburys bits i've got. I opened a packet of "newborn" sleepsuits I got from there and they were bigger than the tesco/asda 0-3 month ones i had.

wonder if they have an issue at their factory or something?!

Thanks ladies. I've decided to email the pics to customer services, and also have taken some that clearly show the label. Am ok with keeping them, as they'll do for later, but it's a bit of a pain because I thought I was all sorted for the next few months and now I'm not!

I also decided to measure each of the sleepsuits, and they're all different - of the smaller ones, I measured 2 as one is in the wash, and one was 58.5cm and the other 61.5cm. Of the bigger ones, two were 66.5cm and the other 70cm! I'd get the whole of Adam in those, head included...

Have never had trouble with Sainsbury's clothes before, I like their stuff because it's cheaper than Mothercare (£6.50 for 3 sleepsuits rather than £13.50) but just as good, IMO. Next time I'll take the things out of the packet first. And at least it's all too big not too small, that would be more of a pain!

Dam, took advantage of their 25% off yesterday and got some 6-9 sleepsuits and vests as his 3-6 are looking tight. My OH remarked when he took them out to get washed that they were big.

I find Mothercare come up large too and he grows out of Tesco sleepsuits first. I dont mind to be honest, I think of the bigger clothes as 1/2 sizes when hes to small for one but too big for another!

Well, I was looking online for an email address but couldn't find one, so have called Customer Services. They've refunded me the cost of the sleepsuits in Nectar points and want me to let them know the barcode of the pack (I don't have it at home, I went to my friend's house after I bought them and took them out and left the packaging there, but she hasn't thrown it out yet so I'll get it and let them know).

Guess I have to go shopping again!
