My little guy was over 8 lbs at birth at the NB stuff was huge on him. It still fits well and he's now over 9 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-411002 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:20:22 +0000 LemonLong 411002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lydia was only 4 lbs 11 oz when we brought her home. Gymboree has a nice selection of preemie clothes in store- we couldn't find any at Target. L'oved Baby clothes for newborns are small. I think they go to 7 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410999 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 18:06:14 +0000 prettylizy 410999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YAY!!! Congrats :) I agree, Carters runs small enough. Our LO was much smaller than we anticipated and we had the exact same problem!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410996 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:58:41 +0000 Andrea 410996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to pop in and say congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410974 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:01:51 +0000 PinkElephant 410974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! Also, Gap is having an amazing online sale for Thanksgiving Day only, lots of their First Favorites bundler 2 packs and PJs are on sale for $10 each + 20% discount; there were plenty of things left in the "up to 7 pounds" size when I was shopping Thursday AM, so you might want to give that a try. Free shipping if you spend at least $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410970 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 17:01:05 +0000 mediagirl 410970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. Tricycle: Congratulations!!!!! Everyone already said it but BRU and Carters are great. You can probably find nb and p at Kohl's if you don't have a Carters or don't want to deal with BRU this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410967 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 16:59:34 +0000 PinkElephant 410967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! My LO came home @ 5 lbs 8 oz and we primarily did Carters onsies from Target (the "Just One You" brand) in size NB. They were a teeny bit loose at first, but no so much that they made her look scrawny. She was able to continue to wear them until about 3 months, so we got much more mileage out of them than if we'd bought the actual preemie size. I found that PJs ran bigger than onsies, so for those you might want a few preemie size pairs. Gowns (with elastic at the bottom) are another good solution for fairly flexible sizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410934 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 16:21:10 +0000 chopsuey 410934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: OMGGGGGGGG CONGRATS!!!!! :D :D :D<br /> Carter's has a good premie selection.

LO wore their NB size for about 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410793 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:54:41 +0000 littlek 410793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations!!

When Cobi was born he was 7 lbs and fit into preemie so they might be a little big on your babes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410763 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:09:13 +0000 mrskc 410763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carters has newborn and preemie. The sleep n plays are easy to put on when they're so tiny. </p> <p>Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410748 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:54:08 +0000 autumnlove 410748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!!

My daughter was 5'4 and nb stuff fit her pretty well at birth...we had mostly carters, I think it runs smallish, especially after washing. </p> <p>Diapers.com has a huge selection online with fast shipping. I think a lot of clothes are on sale for the holiday right now too. If you create and buy off a registry, you get free shipping on any amount purchased too, you don't have to meet the $49 minimum.</p> <p>Welcome baby tricycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410743 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:49:39 +0000 SleepyMonkey 410743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!! I know carters sells preemie sizes online, but not a ton of other suggestions. Can't wait to see/hear more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410742 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:48:54 +0000 mrsmenow 410742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DD #2 was born she was 6 lbs 5 oz, but only 17 in long. She was a little peanut. We did a lot of 2 pieces Carters outfits (with the footed pants and snap front shirts) We found them at Kohls and Babies' R Us. Babies R Us also has a seperate premie section too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-place-for-newborn-or-preemie-sizes#post-410736 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:39:16 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 410736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Tricyle is here and he's a peanut at 5 lbs and 14 oz. We bought zero clothes in this size. Any recommendations for stores that sell teeny-tiny sizes online? </p>
