He isn't too small either around 7 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81917 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:20:29 +0000 owlmom 81917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't ever use NB clothes - we went straight into 0-3. LO would have fit in NB for a month or so, but 0-3 worked fine. They were a tad big for the first week, but she outgrew them by 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81914 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:06:48 +0000 MsMini 81914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought any - but I am assuming I will get a bunch for my baby shower. I have a bunch of 0-3 and 3-6 that I have picked up over the course of the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81783 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:19:16 +0000 Mrsbells 81783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have bought most of my baby clothes from the target sales rack and from babies r us sales rack as well. I think for now I will stick to my 3month size clothes and see how it goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81741 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:31:04 +0000 looch 81741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just used newborn pajamas, not outfits. I had 5 and that lasted me for about 5 weeks until my mom came with the "shipment" as we called it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81703 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:55:29 +0000 heffalump 81703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some gifted to us. But she grew out of them quickly and we easily could have done without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81683 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:34:01 +0000 enjollah 81683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didnt buy any newborn clothing and were gifted very few newborn onesies (but were too cold for LO to wear when he arrived). We had to swaddle him in blankets and DH had to go out and buy a pack of long sleeve shirts. I would suggest having a few pieces just in case cuz you never know if you'll need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81637 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:56:39 +0000 obxwife 81637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally didn't buy ANY clothes and my LO has a full closet. My sister gave me a lot of newborn onesies and shirts so I'll have those if I need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81635 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:54:08 +0000 chopsuey 81635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't buy any newborn clothes. Jumped straight to 0-3mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81629 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:51:50 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 81629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy any clothes at all, since we got so many as gifts.</p> <p>I also never wore NB clothes, but the weight is usually up to 10lbs, so for most babies, they should be able to wear them for a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81613 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:38:08 +0000 Maysprout 81613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have to buy nb clothes since so many people gifted them at the baby shower (they weren't on the registry). But she fit into nb sizes (not gerber nb size) for close to 3 months. Some of that was because alot were cute little dresses so they fit a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81606 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:30:13 +0000 anbanan15 81606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS wore NB for the first month or so, but he could have also gotten away with the 0-3 mo clothing. I am glad we had them though. Also those gowns (not sure if you have any of these) were AMAZING for the NB diaper changing every 5 minute stage. If I had to decide between the NB and the gowns I think I would go with the gowns, but that's just me.</p> <p>Ditto @lemondrop. Target's sale section is awesome. Do you have a Carter's outlet near you? They have a great sale section too. Old Navy usually has some good deals and if you sign up for email offers they send you a $10 off $50 code that can be used in store or online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81602 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:27:02 +0000 Andrea 81602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy any but then found that I needed it. Luckily, I got NB hand me downs from my SIL. Maybe buy some cheap or used stuff? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81598 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:20:02 +0000 lemondrop 81598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cam was very tall and skinny when born, and we definitely needed NB sizes for at least the first 5 weeks. It would be a good idea to have a few NB clothes on hand.</p> <p>Target has really great sale racks, I got plenty of pieces for $2-3 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81594 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:15:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 81594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even at 9 + lbs, my LO was in NB stuff for a little bit. I would suggest not going for anything cute or expensive, but just some footed sleepers and onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81588 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:05:32 +0000 MsMamaBear 81588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was 8lbs, but we bought a couple of newborn outfits. Glad we didn't buy a lot. She grew out of them by the 1st month, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81585 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:03:30 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 81585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought our new baby would skip newborn sizes, since her birthparents are both quite tall... but she was just under 7 lbs and not too tall. We're glad we have newborn sizes and she even slept in premie pjs last night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81584 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:03:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 81584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RJ was in newborn sizes until he hit the 3 month mark. He was always a high percentile in weight, but pretty average in height. I think he's dense... because he never really seemed that chubby when he was a newborn. I also don't like clothes swimming on babies so we kept him in sizes that fit him like a glove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-skip-buying-nb-clothes-altogether#post-81583 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:01:54 +0000 Mrsbells 81583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far all the clothes I have bought for my baby are 3month, 3-6months or 6-9months. I havent bought a single piece of clothing in NB size. My mom told me that myself and my siblings never fit into newborn clothing and since I'm quite tall I am thinking I may have a long baby that will skip NB sizes. Is anyone else skipping NB sizes? </p>
