So 3 month would be the same as 3-6month roughly. Don't know how accurate that is based on looking at size charts below. </p> <p>Carters 3M size guide says that is for 21-24" and 8-12.5lbs<br /> Gap 3-6M size guide says that is for 23-37" and 12-17lbs<br /> Gymboree 3-6M is 23-25" and 12-17lbs<br /> Hudson Organics 3M from Amazon says its for age 0-3M 20-23" and 8-12lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2435942 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 10:39:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2435942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought if it's 3-6 it pretty much means 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434599 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 18:28:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2434599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took me a while to realize this too! But yes I found the size on clothes to be the size they grow out of it at. Like "6 months" he was grown out of by 6 months. I wasted some stuff I think because I didn't think to put it on him until he was the age in the label! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434585 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 18:11:16 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2434585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This totally confused me too! I didn't end up putting my dd in 3 month clothes until she was 3 months and then realized what it actually meant. So yes 6 mo clothes are 3-6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434564 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:30:08 +0000 lilteacherbee 2434564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, 0-3 is 3 months, 3-6 is 6 months, etc. My boys (50-75th percentile) have always sized up a little early. For example, LO2 is 5.5 months and wearing 6-9 months/9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434555 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:20:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2434555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even within one brand the sizing can be so different. It's really annoying! Carter's is the worst with inconsistent sizing. Fwiw my first did wear 3 m clothes at 3 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434552 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:18:45 +0000 MrsSRS 2434552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. It's just a brand thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434528 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:52:50 +0000 birdofafeather 2434528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, agreed with PPs. 0-3 = 3m, 3-6 = 6m, 6-9 = 9m, 9-12 = 12 months. 6-12 can fall anywhere in that area of 9m-12m clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434486 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:14:40 +0000 BSB 2434486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Madison43: @iluvboba637: @lawbee11: oh, I had no idea. Probably why I'm surprised that they grew out of their 3 m clothes at 4 months and they were small babies. I thought they might fit 3m clothes at 3 months.<br /> Whoops! Didn't realize how the sizing went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434484 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:13:38 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2434484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: nope! 0-3 and 3m are the same. And 3-6 and 6m are the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434481 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:11:42 +0000 BSB 2434481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: oh, I though 0-3 was smaller than 3m and 3-6 is smaller (in between) size than 6m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434480 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:11:27 +0000 lawbee11 2434480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6m is the same as 3-6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434479 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:10:30 +0000 iluvboba637 2434479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with pp's. I think 6mo is the same as 3-6mo size. Like worn up to 6mo? So 9mo would be same as 6-9mo. And also depends on brands buy some 6mo might be a bit bigger or smaller than other 3-6mo but generally speaking pretty much the same.</p> <p>Maybe you could pull out some 6mo and compare it to the 3-6mo your LOs are currently wearing :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434475 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:07:32 +0000 Madison43 2434475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: so I think sizing is totally brand dependent. Like Baby Gap sizes run 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, etc....but Carters sizes run, NB, 3m, 6m, 9m, 12m. For example, my 3 month old is right on the cusp of outgrowing her Gap 0-3 clothes and her Carters 3m sleepers, so she's moving into 3-6 from the Gap and 6 m sleepers from Carters. It's just a different way of saying the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434474 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:06:55 +0000 ms.line 2434474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought 3m was another label for 0-3, and 6m is 3-6? Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-3-m-clothes-did-your-baby-fit-3-6-m-or-6-m-clothes#post-2434468 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:01:00 +0000 BSB 2434468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So confused about sizing.</p> <p>Both babies have outgrown 3m and I took out the clothes I have in 3-6m. It's not much. I'm wondering if I should pull out the clothes I have in 6m. I thought 6m might be too big. </p>
