I completely agree.

Gabriel was 8lbs 11oz and newborn sizes are way too big on him! xx

Oh yes and DD was 9.3 must of been tall because she went straight into 0-3, so only bought 0-3 for DS as assumed he would be big too, but he was 7.7 so had to rush out and buy newborn stuff!

my DD didnt fit newborn and she was only 8lb 14.5. she was just too long

first size was good though (not sleepsuits...)

I was just thinking about that too, because we've been told that our LO is likely to be a 10 pounder!!! I will be so upset if she's too big for her newborn stuff tho, cos some of it is gorgeous - we'll just have to wait and see.

Most important thing is to check labels. Newborn means different things in different stores. Asda newborn only goes up to 9lbs, but Tesco goes up to 11lbs. I got some lovely stuff from Matalan too - but all it says is Newborn - but they look really little.

Oh well, what will be will be - just wish I hadn't taken all the tags off now :/

Agreed, Alex is almost 6 months old(corrected age), 13lb and and remains in 0-3 months clothes. I cant even think about dresses and things yet because I cant judge how big or small she will be in the summer.

As for gifts we got as newborn, people bought small things(as she was very prem) but bought dresses for winter? They will never see the light of day!!!!!!!

Wow...I figured with a 9 lb baby they wouldn't fit in the newborn sizes. Most of what I have is in the 0-3 month range for this reason with just a few newborn outfits mixed in. Thanks for sharing, guess I'll see about picking up a few more newborn outfits. Thanks for sharing!
