She's 8.5 months and wearing their 18 month clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571389 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:22:48 +0000 Bao 571389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I think their clothes shrink like crazy. Every time I wash them they shrink a size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571383 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:13:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 571383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my LO, carters sizing is just right. She is 3.5 months and the 3 no stuff is too small and 6 no stuff has room to grow. She is 60's % for weight and 90 for height so she is a little tall and skinny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571322 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 18:01:35 +0000 ladyfingers 571322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard they are but D is 7 lbs 12 oz at 2 weeks and still swims in some of their newborn clothes. I just don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571301 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:31:21 +0000 autumn865 571301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say actual Carter's is pretty close to being true to size. DD is almost 6 months (50%ile weight, 75%ile height) and six months size fits perfect. Carter's from elsewhere is all over the place. My mom ought some jammies from Sam's Club and they look like 9 month not 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571285 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:19:14 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 571285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like Carters sizing is all over the place. At six weeks, we can still fit E into one or two newborn pieces, whereas there are others that she outgrew weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571278 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:09:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 571278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: same. I just figured that it wasn't Carter's running small, but my baby running big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571222 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:09:47 +0000 mediagirl 571222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the carters stuff you get at target runs small. M has always been able to wear regular carters clothes until one month after their set month designation. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571221 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:09:13 +0000 MamaMoose 571221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well their 6 month is really 3-6 not 6-9 so your little guy is only about a month early in fitting the 6 month clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571209 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 16:02:23 +0000 Weagle 571209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's no rhyme or reason it seems. LO was in 3 month by 6 weeks, 6 month by 12 weeks, and is still straddling 6-9 months at 9 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571207 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:57:48 +0000 heffalump 571207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is in the 90 th percentile so everything is small for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571205 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:55:11 +0000 loveisstrange 571205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for us. C can wear Carter's long after other brands don't fit anymore. Shes 100th percentile and still wearing 12m at 23lbs and 30" tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571201 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:51:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 571201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I agree.<br /> Absolutely no rhyme or reason to Carter's sizing. I have some 0-3 that is too big and some 3-6 that are too small. It's so odd. LO is 4m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571191 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:41:45 +0000 tinyperson 571191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably depends...my 2 month old is still wearing Carter's newborn.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571165 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:18:16 +0000 regberadaisy 571165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends! On where the carter is from and what style! Some stuff M is in 18 months and some in 12. Very weird sizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571153 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:09:59 +0000 red_seattle 571153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. X is small (10th %ile or less in all measurements), and Carter's fits him pretty spot on. He moved into the 6 months size at 6 months, 12 month size at 12 months, etc. Every other brand, especially OshKosh and H &amp; M, the same size is huge on him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571145 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:02:45 +0000 matador84 571145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6mo old has been wearing 9 month since 4 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571141 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 15:01:22 +0000 mrsmenow 571141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on either where you buy them or what line they are (sleep and play or another one I can't think of). One of them runs really small and the sleeves are super short. The other one is pretty long and lean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571129 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:49:39 +0000 autumnlove 571129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so at the beginning! LO was wearing 3 month sizes right after she was born. 12 months seems true to size for us right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-carters-run-small#post-571124 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:47:02 +0000 chopsuey 571124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering since my 8 week old is in Carter's 6M </p>
