She is 10 months and still in BG 6-12 and Carter's 9m.</p> <p>I will add though, that Carters shrinks in length a lot and BG never seems to shrink noticeably. So our BG gets longer wear and Carter's gets retired faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323740 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:30:19 +0000 Smurfette 1323740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: really?? I haven't noticed a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323705 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:12:42 +0000 PinkElephant 1323705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 18 months, 20 lbs, and I'm not sure how tall - around 30th percentile.</p> <p>She's currently in mostly 6-12 month size. Her jeans in this size are still way too big at the waist. She wears some 3-6 month dresses as tops b/c the width is still fine. I still love the clothes, but do find I need to try them on her to be sure we've got the right size, so it can be a little hard to buy in advance and take advantage of sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323703 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:11:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1323703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS can still fit into 12-18 month bottoms (length wise), but 12-18 month tops are getting too small. He's 13.5 months, 33ish inches, 24/5ish pounds. Just washed some 18-24 mths stuff! He's always been closer to the higher end of the sizing, (3 months, he was in 3-6 months, 9 months he was in 6-12, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323692 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:07:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 1323692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wide. Unfortunately, there is no "standard" sizing at baby gap. I bought 2 pairs of pants, same size and style, and one is 2" shorter than the other. Thanks Gap, helpful. LO is almost 19 months and has a pair of 6-12 pants that are still too long on her, while she has outgrown several 18m pants. My rule with Gap is I leave the tags on until LO actually wears the item; because you just can't go by the tag sizing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323663 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:54:20 +0000 Ginabean3 1323663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Gap runs large for us!!! I love the style and quality best out of all baby retailers though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323656 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:52:13 +0000 Kimberlybee 1323656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Gap runs large for us too. It's a better for fit for my nieces who are chunkier than LO. I still buy and wear BabyGap for LO though, cute outfits and the clothes don't shrink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323645 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:46:19 +0000 stargal 1323645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It runs large in my opinion. But my lo is a string bean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323622 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:26:41 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1323622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is long and very lean (she's pretty small) and almost nothing has fit her from Baby GAP, which is too bad. I really like a lot of their clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323615 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:24:18 +0000 deerylou 1323615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wide and short for my string bean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323610 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 19:16:16 +0000 Mamasig 1323610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found gap ran larger than Carter's and old navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323561 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:48:55 +0000 pinkcupcake 1323561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting to see how different all the responses are! :)</p> <p>My LO is petite (50% height, 10% weight) and she always wears a size smaller in Gap. She wore 6-12 months until she was almost 15 or 16 months old, and at 22 months is just now starting to outgrow some of her 12-18 months clothes. It's annoying b/c 18-24 month pants are too big in the waist, but 12-18 is too short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323553 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:39:49 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1323553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol! ok so many different answers. I went with 3-6 months, since he will be 3 months in June and it's for sure a summer outfit. Hopefully it works! It was like $7 on sale so not the end of the world :) Thanks all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323535 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:21:36 +0000 pinkb 1323535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does run wide and I find it runs large but my LO is on the small side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323529 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:19:28 +0000 sunny 1323529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny... I was going to say it runs large. My LO is 60th percentile in height and can still wear the 6-12 mo onesies. She wears 9 and 12 mo Carter's onesies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323507 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 18:08:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1323507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find they run small. Old navy runs smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323485 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:56:59 +0000 Smurfette 1323485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Gap fits R better then Carter's. But the do seem to run wide. She is under 20% for weight and height. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323483 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:56:22 +0000 JerricaBenton 1323483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it runs wide, but short in length. Lo outgrows their onesies in length but they are still too big in width. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323481 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:55:47 +0000 lemondrop 1323481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap and Old Navy run very, very large on my boy! These are the ones I try to hunt down at consignment stores since they are good quality and I'm cheap. </p> <p>He will outgrow Carters well before he's outgrown Gap or Old Navy. He's just about to turn 2 and he is still well within the 18-24 month clothes from them, but is pretty much done with Carter's 24 months sizes. I expect that he will fit these clothes for at least another 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323476 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:53:11 +0000 Sammyfab 1323476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks like you're going to get a wide range of answers. :silly: </p> <p>Gap and Joe Fresh fit my LO perfectly. I do find Joe Fresh fits a little smaller. He has worn the proper size his entire life. He's 22 months and can still fit into some 12-18 but primarily wears 18-24. 2T is too big for him.</p> <p>ETA: He's consistently in the 25th-50th percentile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323472 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:52:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 1323472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap runs very wide, my LO is very slim and Gap does not fit her well at all. (specifically shirts.) She's 15 months, and I fits into 6-12 month dresses still, but has never fit into pants or onesies. She is long and skinny (petite) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323467 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:48:31 +0000 Ms.Badger 1323467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think gap runs wide but a little short length-wise. My LO is usually in gap clothes the age on the label but it's always a little baggy. My LO is tall but average weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323461 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:45:46 +0000 MamaMoose 1323461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gap runs very small. My LO out grows gap and old navy before all her other brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323460 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:45:13 +0000 Freckles 1323460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They run large! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-baby-gap-fit#post-1323456 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 17:43:05 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1323456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far this boy has a lot of Gap, Carters and Joe Fresh. Gap is my fave and what I've been buying mostly.</p> <p>I'm wondering how Gap fits versus the other brands? Gap sizing is different (0-3 month), where Carters is just newborn then, 3 months, then 6 months, etc.</p> <p>He is due in March and I want to get this cute summer one piece that is on sale at gap, but I'm wondering if he will be out of it 0-3 at 3 months (june)? Since it won't be warm enough here to wear before that most likely. Or does it run large? I know it totally depends on how big he is, but just wondering in general if Gap runs large or small or right on track in your experiences.</p> <p>TIA!! :) </p>
