C wore NB for 2 weeks, 0-3 for 6 weeks and 3-6 for about 2 months. She's been in her 6-9 stuff nearly 4 months though, so she's making up for it. I was thinking she would keep growing like she was and bought the dress in 12-18 (got a very good deal on it). It's going to be an evening gown on her. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411977 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:41:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 411977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: If my DD slows down, the sweater dress will look like a sleep sack! If she sprouts up, the Carter's stuff I bought won't hardly get any wear. </p> <p>I can't wait until she can actually wear out clothes again! So far it's only been her NB clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411958 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:31:32 +0000 loveisstrange 411958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. C sprouted up ridiculously fast until sometime between 4 and 5 months old. She was in 6-9 by 4 months old. She has not gained height since 5 months and hasn't gained any weight since sometime between 5 and 6 months. She'll be 8 months next week and is still in 6-9 in everything but sleepers.</p> <p>I bought her a Christmas dress a couple months ago thinking she would keep growing and it's looking like it's going to be too big now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411954 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:30:13 +0000 SugarplumsMom 411954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whew! It's great to hear because they sell clothes in length here as opposed to months. DD is actually turning 5 months next week, but the last time she was measured was during her last checkup so I'm just guessing her height now. The next size should fit her perfect at 6 mo. but I went a size bigger so she can get some use out of it. I guess I won't know until it arrives. </p> <p>Buying stuff in advance is getting tricky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411922 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 19:01:52 +0000 Mrs.M57 411922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dd is the same as what nerdbee said, she's just a couple days from 7 months and has consistently still been growing in height but has only gained not even 2 lbs since 4 mos. She is also just starting to fit into some 12 month sleepers for length but was in 3-6 month ones at 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411890 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 18:23:07 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 411890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it starts slowing closer to 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411879 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 18:09:02 +0000 NerdBee 411879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's weight gain slowed but he grew quite a bit in length. He's about 7.5 months and had only gained about 3 lbs since he was 4 months but has to wear 12 month sleepers now when he used to wear 6 month sleepers at 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-growth-down-at-4-months#post-411786 Fri, 23 Nov 2012 17:01:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 411786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought LO a dress for Christmas since the one my mom got will be too small by then. But I might have bought a size too big =/</p> <p>I went by how much she's grown every month and assumed it'll be the same for next month. But then I've read they slow down at 4 months on. Argh. I don't wanna have to make an extra trip to exchange it, especially since I bought it online to avoid that!</p> <p>Did your LO's growth slow down at 4 months on? </p>
