Newborn or 0-3 clothes?

[5boysandcounting]

So I've put of buying any clothes so far even though I've really wanted to . I felt it was too early, but I've just been looking at my next directory catalogue and I don't think I can stop myself any longer !. They have some gorgeous clothes in now.

Next do first size which is up to 7.8 pounds, up to 1 month (10 pounds) and 0-3 months (10 - 14 pounds) I've decided to buy the up to 1 month clothes as it doesn't sound like she will get much wear out of the first size and some 0-3 too.

How much new born (up to 10 pounds) will you be buying compared to 0-3? and will you just buy the new born now and the 0-3 when babies ready for that size or a mixture of both sizes before baby arrives?

. I'm finding it really difficult as their are so many lovely summer clothes but with her being due end of July, If I get these in 0-3 I think by the time she is ready for them it will be September and too cold?

My kids were around 7-8 pound mark except ds 2 who was 5 weeks early.

I will be buying no newborn lol I have a couple newborn sleepers from ds3 and he wore them like twice and then he only fit 0-3 till he was 20 days old he grew so fast... If its a boy I won't have to buy a thing... Ds3 had a very nice wardrobe that he barley used... I would buy a few things that I love o... If its a girl DH is going to have to claim bankruptcy

Lol, I'm the same. I think that's half the reason I've been afraid to buy anything. I know if I start I will get carried away and buy far too much!!

how much did you boys weigh?

For some reason i didn't think my girl would be as big as my boys were and I bought some little newborn onesies...well she was my second-biggest baby and all those little onesies were worn one time and I needed a team of mules to get her into the last couple LOL.

Plus, I guarantee that peopel will buy you some newborn pink!

My last two were 9lbs and my first was 6lbs he was 3 weeks early ds2 was a week late and ds3 was a week early so Im think I will get a 10lber this time :s

My boys were 8'6", 8'1", and 8'13". I don't bother with newborn size clothes!

I have actually stocked up on NB, 3m, 6m, 9m and even a touch of 12m lol!! A lot of it is Ryder's clothes of course but I've also done a lot of shopping, I love local sale sites, got some great deals. Luckily enough these 2 being born a month apart season wise, I'm pretty much anticipating the same as Ryder. Everything I've bought is versatile weather wise though, no snow suits or anything. Mostly sleepers and play outfits I didn't buy newborn clothing with Ryder and found 0-3 too big on him for a while (he was 7lbs 14oz) so I got some for Hudson (Ryder was born at 42 weeks, Hudson will be born at 38 so just planning that hell be smaller). I just love baby clothes.

I think it depend on the shop as some newborn clothes are up to 10lb and others are only up to 8lb
I will have a few newborn items (all 2nd hand as they dont get much use) I have only been buying 0-3 months clothes. I would be expecting this baby to be born around 8lb or under

Iv got lots of 1 month size atm only a few newborn...my newborns have ranged in size from 5.5lb-7.15 and a half...im thinking if this one is top end then i wont really need new baby for very long at all but if its lower end i may do........going to wait as i get growth scans every 4 weeks this time(not that they are ever right) but i can usually guess how big they are going to be x.....next sizing has changed since i had my 1st baby the 'up to 1 month' used to be called 'new baby' and the now 'new baby' used to be 'little baby'......most other shops refer to up to 7/8lbs stuff as tiny or petite baby

Funnily enough i had the same problem and hit next! I knew all my boys were boys so brought everything blue we are pretty sure this one's a girl (nub shot, cvs test and 2 i think its its a girl ultra sounds - although i'm still not convinced!) so we have nothing for a girl. My boys were 7.4, 7.5 and 7.8 with the first two wearing tiny baby clothes as the newborn and 0-3 swamped them. My third went into newborn and wore it for a while.

This one i am presuming will be smaller - partly due to gender, partly due to ultra sound measurements but i am still expecting her to be around the same size as ds3. As a compromise i brought her up to 1 month from next thinking next sizes are quite generous and will probably fit for a while (although mine are breast feed and usually wallop the weight on).

I'm really picky with clothes but so far i have brought her 1 cardigan, 3 baby gro's, a romper with a hat, a vest with a tutu skirt and something that i can't decide if its a long top with shorts or a dress - all from next as i love their range and it wears so well (or at least it did with the boys). Although i have them all hidden away as it feels wrong shopping so early (a bit like tempting fate, i always waited until after 30 weeks) and i'm still not convinced she's a girl.

For us im pretty sure this little one will be our last so i want enough for her to wear but not too much - i still have something things only one or none of my boys wore and its perfect

Ps we should start a thread in our due date group to post pics of all the things we brought
