Seem to be better quality anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17697 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:09:33 +0000 cyndistar3 17697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really? I always found them to be too big... My daughter was able to wear 3-6 months till she was like 18 months lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17682 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 10:50:25 +0000 sandsandmore 17682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed, for us, the Gerber onesies were useless, and I unfortunately had a ton of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17598 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:51:41 +0000 looch 17598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I had one package of Gerber onesies, no idea what size they were. I prefer the ones from Carters, they seem to hold their shape better after washing.</p> <p>My 11 month old is in size 18 months in Carters, but I've found baby sizing to be all over the map. It's annoying, isn't it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17354 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:12:41 +0000 Becksabee 17354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree. My LO is on the border of 0-3 and 3-6, and he's wearing 6-9 months in Gerber onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17244 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:15:11 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 17244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That's a good point! Little M is super long (like her dad), but I always refer to the measurements in length and weight. The Gerber t-shirts are the only thing that we don't worry about length because she wears it as an udershirt. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17238 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:08:02 +0000 heffalump 17238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Marbles: In our world no baby clothes are true to size :( My LO has been wearing 6 months clothes since 2 1/2 months. I feel like they should do it another way, like put the weight on them instead. If babies understood the sizing it would be sure to give them eating disorders! Babies are just so different, it doesn't make sense the way they have it.</p> <p>@Andrea: I'm convinced that I'll never have a baby small enough for Gerber newborn clothes. My hubby was a big baby, and I think I was just meant to have big babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17227 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:01:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 17227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that Gerber runs VERY small. I bought her the 2 pack of Fleece zip up PJs. The price is great and they have the non slip feet, but they shrank a ton in the dryer. She's 15 pounds and already out of the size 6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17225 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:49:38 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 17225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have the Gerber onesies, but we love their t-shirts. Little M wears one every day as an undershirt since she gets cold so easily. I find those are pretty stretchy and true-to-size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17224 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:44:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 17224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very good tip! I was planning on stocking up on these soon and thought to only buy 0-3 months, even though DH was 8.5 lb baby at birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17164 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:23:50 +0000 Maysprout 17164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree. My little girl was born at 6-1/2 lbs and then lost a couple ounces in the hospital and for a baby she has a smaller head, she's 28th percentile for head circumference. We never were able to get the newborn onsies over her head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17162 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:20:30 +0000 Andrea 17162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oh well, maybe I better have another baby so that I can use them. Haha ... maybe later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17160 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:17:42 +0000 heffalump 17160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I know! I insisted on having newborn clothes, and I bought newborn Gerber onesies. They say on them something like 5-8 lbs. My baby was born 8 lbs. 13 oz... so she never fit into them! And of course I also insisted on washing them before she was born so they'd be ready, so I couldn't take them back. Annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17159 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:12:25 +0000 Andrea 17159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good tip! I bought all these Gerber onesies that were itty bitty and I barely got any use out of them. I was probably too busy at the time to return them so it was just a waste of money. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gerber-clothes#post-17158 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:10:19 +0000 heffalump 17158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They run very, very small.</p> <p>I just wanted to warn you new mom's or soon to be mom's. I have my 3 1/2 month old in a 18 month Gerber onesie right now. I have so many Gerber onesie's that she didn't even get to wear because they're just too darn small! She wears 6 month for everything else. So when your sorting your clothes, make sure you check the brand and get those Gerber clothes to the front! </p>
