I had to have Tiny Baby and Newborn stuff for Ky when he was born because he was a "small" baby at 61b 9.5 (Didn't feel like that to me!) - Some babies will have to wear 0-3 months from birth, but thats generally 9lb plus babies. I wouldn't buy too much in Newborn as this seems to be the size they grow out of the fastest!

-Don't worry about people buying you bigger stuff because its nice to have some bigger clothes that you don't have to buy when baby moves into a bigger size!

Thanks for the reply.
We don't even have an inkling as to how big the little one is going to be. I mean just recently I have had alot of people saying "Are you due soon", because apparently my stomache looks THAT big compared to my tiny frame, but the size of the baby bump cant really be used to judge the size of the baby.
The dr's suspect that my little en will be no more than 6lb, but I beg to differ on that one.
Do you think its a little too early to be buying clothes? I mean what were the first things that you started to buy and when did you begin to shop properly?
I havent started shopping properly yet. We do buy the odd bit of clothing here and there and the only main thing we have so far is the pram, and thats because it was on offer for £160, so we couldnt really miss out on that, but other than that we really havent got much.

Have you got any advice at all?? - it would be grately appreciated. x x

I don't think its too early to be buying clothes - I've been buying for the new baby already, even though I have a lot but I wanted to get some Pink things!
The only things I havn't got is all the stuff I'm going to need because to me, thats the boring stuff!

I think the main thing is you have all the essentials. Clothes wise, I think my "Essentials" list Was:-
6-8 vests
2-4 blankets
4-6 sleepsuits
1-2 cardigans/jumpers
1-2 shawl or cotton blanket
1-2 hats
4-6 pairs socks
1-2 pairs scratch mittens
1-2 Side-snap tees
2-4 Rompers
2-4 Bibs
6-8 Hangers

Hope that helps a bit.

I brought whats highlighted-
but in regards to bottles, dummies, sterolizes (cant spell that)- changing mats- those kinds of things-
do you tend to get these when baby is brought home? if not, how long before the due date should we start to buy them?
Then there is the nursery furniture which Im not keen on buying just yet, but how long would you suggest we leave it before buying?

I dont really have a clue as I am new to all of this.
Once again though, thanks for the advice x

since I had a 9 pound baby and then a 10 pound baby I wont but any newborn stuff. I start off at 3 month clothing.

Wow. Big babies.
Is this the avergae weight though?

for me yes, normally you are looking at a 6 to 8 pound bundle of joy :0)

So im guessing youre expecting another big bub?
I dunno what to expect as so far my baby has not measured too big or too small; I was a small baby and my mother was a small woman, but again, you cant really tell!

Maddie was 6lb 5 so she had tiny baby ...

Because of being induced i have brought the same again
