Carter's definitely fits DD for longer than other brands. And 3 for us, meant 0-3. Here's their size chart:</p> <p><a href="http://www.carters.com/Sizing/cs-sizing,default,pg.html?id=carters" rel="nofollow">http://www.carters.com/Sizing/cs-sizing,default,pg.html?id=carters</a> </p> [attach=1448/12/mffwbr.600x427.size.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-461482 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 10:23:51 +0000 loveisstrange 461482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I have a big baby and I've never had a problem with shrinkage. Hmmm, maybe I just havent noticed it. I've always thought Carter's stuff has fit her for longer than other brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-461244 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 23:44:06 +0000 Phillybaby2013 461244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally asked this same question to DH in the Carter's store tonight as we shopped for clothes for our LO due in 6.5 weeks. Good to know about the shrinkage and glad we didn't buy hardly any NB sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460873 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:01:03 +0000 Pink Champagne 460873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy is long (25.5 inches at 4 months) and wears Carter's 6 month size clothing.<br /> I haven't had much shrinkage though.. I wash on delicate and tumble dry low though, so that probably helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460795 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 18:00:56 +0000 Bao 460795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yeah, I had a bunch of 6 month outfits and I was like there's no way she will fit into that anytime soon (she's almost 4 months), well I washed it all and it all fits her now. Ugh! So glad I didn't wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460775 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:50:57 +0000 MamaMoose 460775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: with her NB stuff I also noticed Carter's shrank more than other brands!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460765 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:47:22 +0000 Boogs 460765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure 0-3. I've always found that all of their clothes run small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460759 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:44:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 460759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yup, carters is small. My little man is a peanut and carters is the only brand that he fits into corresponding months e.g. 9 months = 9 months. Whereas at 9 months he's in 3-6 mos gap and 6-9 months TCP. </p> <p>So I would say that 3 months is 0-3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460742 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:35:16 +0000 mediagirl 460742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is I the middle range for percentages and she has gone into 3, 6 and 9 before hitting those month birthdays. She's 6mo now and is in 6&amp;9mo Carter's stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460733 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:29:53 +0000 Bao 460733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of their stuff shrinks so if you haven't washed certain things, just a warning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460673 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:47:33 +0000 MamaMoose 460673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! LO is still in NB but today I was working on organizing her clothes and I wasn't sure where to put the Carter's stuff. I put the 3 month with the 0-3 stuff and it sounds like that should work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460671 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:46:29 +0000 winniebee 460671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think size 3M is up to 12 lbs....not sure of the inches...maybe 24? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460668 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:45:03 +0000 autumnlove 460668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It fit like 0-3 for us. LO was able to wear some onesies right away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460658 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:41:34 +0000 Mrsbells 460658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on which brand you are comparing it to. for some brands it will be more like their 0-3 and for other brands it will be more like 3-6. I would just buy a few in a larger size and see how well it fits your LO. I really like their sizing over other brands like babies r us brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460656 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:40:41 +0000 loveisstrange 460656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3=0-3, 6=3-6, 9=6-9, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carters-sizing#post-460653 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:38:26 +0000 MamaMoose 460653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question about the Carter's sizes: They don't give ranges so is their 3 month 0-3 or 3-6? </p>
