I think he would fit 2T tops but that's it. I think he will be 18 - 24 months through fall. Saves me money though.

The ones that have fit the best so far are a Pixar set (Monsters Inc, Cars, Toy Story) from Target. We also have Gap and Fruit of the Loom undies but they're a bit looser. :happy: Purpledaisy on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size/page/2#post-1757665 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 14:05:27 +0000 Purpledaisy 1757665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sooo slow. At 16 months she's still in 6month clothes for the most part. Still has 3 month bottoms that fit her. She's just a petite girl :silly: autumnlove on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size/page/2#post-1757429 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:15:19 +0000 autumnlove 1757429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yeah, my kids grew a lot the first year and we went through a lot of clothes! winniebee on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757427 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:14:27 +0000 winniebee 1757427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Sammyfab: my child has a tiny bum.

T is around 24 lbs and 33 inches but my mom sent some 2T j and j tops and they are huge!!!! He can easily wear 2t tops in Carter's and old navy so I told her her to get that size and they are huge. littlek on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757309 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:43:56 +0000 littlek 1757309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO was a preemie so it's hard to compare. But I've noticed he's slowed down around 18 months. littlek on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757305 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:43:19 +0000 littlek 1757305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Sammyfab: I'm thinking that will happen when we potty train B. littlek on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757302 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:42:33 +0000 littlek 1757302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @winniebee: same here. B is 24 months old but still wearing 18 - 24 month clothes. I don't think he will be in 2T anytime soon. Sammyfab on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757240 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:26:11 +0000 Sammyfab 1757240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think he's the most average child ever and he has always moved up in size accordingly. Except now he has a really small booty and waist because he is out of diapers so he's wearing 12-18 and 18-24 month shorts and 2T shirts at 28 months. winniebee on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757232 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:23:05 +0000 winniebee 1757232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I honestly don't remember in the beginning but it was much faster compared to after 18 months. Usually a few months per size? He's a small kid but is 26 months and wears 2T tops mostly (can wear 18-24 but I've stopped buying that size) and 12-18 shorts / 18-24 pants. My guess is he will be in 2T tops until the spring and probably 18-24 pants til then too. oliviaoblivia on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757231 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:22:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1757231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She went through sizes like lighting in the beginning. Skipped nb, 0-3 until 5 weeks, 3-6 until 10 weeks, skipped 9 months, wore 12 months until 8 months and is just out of 18-24 at 18 months.

She also worse some 0-3 during that time, but mostly newborn. She is solidly in 0-3 now, and some are getting snug on her. She is short but has long legs, so I attribute it to that.

ShootingStar on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757035 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 11:02:54 +0000 ShootingStar 1757035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ D has been pretty consistent with sizes. He was in newborn until about 5.5 weeks, and then after that he's been in the size until the month after the number. So he was in 0-3 until 4 months, and 3-6 until 7 months. But I mentioned on your other thread that since he's got long arms and legs (but not torso) he can stay in some clothes longer than others. He'll be 8 months on Friday and today I have him in a 3-6 month romper that fits just fine.

She stayed in 3-6 months for maybe 4 months, and she's been in 6-9/6-12 months since March. BadgerMom on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1757003 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:55:29 +0000 BadgerMom 1757003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it just depends on the little one. We're having the exact same problem. At almost 7 weeks, the little dude is still wearing a lot of NB and only smaller fitting 0-3. He's long and skinny so that seems to be making things hard. I'm just hoping he has a growth spurt before it gets cold because I have all this 0-3 warm weather clothes that are too big. So I definitely feel for your out of season dilemma! keiki_mama on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1756989 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:51:53 +0000 keiki_mama 1756989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I feel like LO jumped through a ton of clothes for the first 1 1/2 year. Now at 27 months, he still wears some shirts from last summer. bunnylove08 on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1756950 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:36:02 +0000 bunnylove08 1756950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD jumped from size 1 year to 3 years and she is not even 2 yet.

He's solid and wide so clothes are usually too narrow for him. By six months, he was in 12 month sizes. At one year, he was in 2T. He's 22 months and has been in 3T for a few months. mrsjyw on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1756902 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:14:53 +0000 mrsjyw 1756902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He wore NB for a month. Then 0-3 for another month or two. From there he quickly grew and was ahead usually (we like more looser clothing) by one size. At 20 months his growth has now slowed down a lot, he wears 2T tops and 18-24 month bottoms are a lil big on him and some 2T.

Then 0-3 for 3-4 months and then 3-6 for 3 months or so. I don't remember exactly. 6-12 or 9 months was about 6 months though. She is still in 12-18 or 12M (carters) at 16 months.

It slowed down a bit after that. He was in 9m for awhile, flew through 12m and 12-18m and has been in 18-24 and 2T since right after a year old. He's 17m now.

He totally skipped 9 months (after I bought a bunch, argh) and at 6 months old is in 12 month clothing size for rompers and onesies, but in pants he's in 6 months. I have just resorted to using onesies and T-shirts with shorts and pants until he starts to match up. And as for cost, I have had great success with Ebay - I won a batch of 50 clothes for $60, including shipping.

She seems to fit into most clothes pretty close to what the tags say, so the first year she's been outgrowing clothes at least every 3 months. For Carter's brand, she fits into them up to the age listed on the tag. So she fit into 6 month Carters from about 3 months to 6 months. Gerber sizes run crazy small. The Koala brand from Babies R Us also seems kind of small. Old Navy and the Gap have been pretty spot on for her. She was in newborn sizes for 5 or 6 weeks, so then she only had about 6 weeks illumina on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1756331 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 04:30:31 +0000 illumina 1756331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Really slowly! I thought she would go through them way quicker, so like you say, she has a bunch of things for the wrong seasons! She started off in tiny baby and at almost 10 months is still in 3-6mth t-shirts! erinpye on "How quickly does LO go through a clothing size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-quickly-does-lo-go-through-a-clothing-size#post-1756330 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 04:05:28 +0000 erinpye 1756330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My kids fly through clothes and start to slow around a year-18 months old. My oldest DD was in 2T at her first bday. She turned 2 in April and is in 3T, and moving into 4T, so growth has been slower since 1. Second DD was out of newborn in 2 weeks and is currently in 9 month stuff as of 4.5 months old. It's normal for them to grow really fast this first year, but it will slow.

He grew 12 inches his first year and only 4 his second.
