K was in NB till about 8 weeks. Obviously it differs from some brands like Little Me and Vitamins are still too big. </p> <p>@MrsTiz: I stocked up anytime I could get a good deal! K's probably set for the first 18 months! I bought the most stuff in 3-6 but I'm always on the lookout for 9 and 18 months because it seems like there's the least stuff in those brackets. 6-12 is kind of a big range - I'd think that should last the longest the first year. I bought ALL her jackets/ coats/ and sweaters onthebig side. I know Mrs. Bee and Brandy have both written about getting 2 years wear out of the same jacket or coat. And I don't mind them being bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772992 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:45:12 +0000 Springtime 772992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO grew really fast the first 6 months so outgrew 0-3, 3-6 super fast. He stayed in 6-12/6-9/9 month the longest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772969 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:31:42 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 772969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Yeah but you've seen my kidlets. They're on the healthy chubbily side! So I'd still get primarily 3 - 6 and. Few essentials in either size of that (0 - 3 and 6 - 9) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772955 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:26:38 +0000 MrsTiz 772955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I live in NC so we don't get snow (if so it's 1-2inches for a day) and it stays about 35 degrees in the coldest time, which is January-Feb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772951 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:25:21 +0000 cascademom 772951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months clothes-Carter's sizing, he wore from 4-6 months<br /> 9 months clothes-we're in these currently at 8 months. I want to say that he's worn them from 6-7 months on. 9 months pants have been too big on him until recently. The Old Navy 6-12 months is a good size and has been lasting awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772943 Fri, 10 May 2013 09:21:45 +0000 stargal 772943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months.

But I don't know where you live, so I don't know how long the cold season tends to last! My first LO was born in January and grew out of the 6 - 9 month clothes around 6 months, I think. It's rough guessing this stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772878 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:56:20 +0000 bpcmarj 772878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-12 from 4 until 10ish months...and she can still wear some of the tops at 12 months, though the sleeves are short. She is VERY tall though and has been in 18-24m pants and leggings for months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772861 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:52:01 +0000 loveisstrange 772861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely 6-12. She wore it from 4 months until 10/11 months. She wore NB for 2 weeks, 0-3 for 6 weeks and 3-6 for 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772817 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:38:49 +0000 wheres_c 772817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was in newborn for 8 weeks, 0-3 for 4weeks, 3-6 for 4weeks, now at 5 months is chilling in a mix of 6-9 and 9-12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772803 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:34:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 772803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 7 1/2 months and has been wearing 3-6 tops for about 4 months now &amp; 9 month pants for probably 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772752 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:19:19 +0000 sera_87 772752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>0-3 &amp; 3-6. He's still in 3-6 for some things &amp; he's nearly 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772702 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:08:28 +0000 Bao 772702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She probably wore 6-12 longest since she is in 9-12 now, but wore 6 most of the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772687 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:02:31 +0000 mediagirl 772687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's been wearing 6-12 since she was 4 months old and still fits into a bunch of them! Some she has grown out of but most of the Gap stuff still fits. I find their pants are long, which I like because they can grow into them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772661 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:50:41 +0000 MamaMoose 772661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: There is actually a separate newborn size. My LO was in newborn clothes for 6 weeks. Then she wore 0-3 until she was about 4 months old. Now she's in 3-6 and I expect her to outgrow those clothes at about 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772659 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:50:24 +0000 MamaBehr 772659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy newborn clothes at all (I have big babies!) and put mine directly into 0-3. I would say 0-3 and then some 3-6 clothes for the winter clearance. Both of my guys were in the clothing for the months that it said (like they wore 0-3 months until they were three months old). Hey, if you over buy then you can always sell it at a consignment sale and make some of the money back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772657 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:49:09 +0000 looch 772657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wasn't in the 6-12 month stuff for very long either, though. He was born in December and he was basically in size 6 months at 3 months of age, size 9 months at 6 months of age and size 12 months around 9 months. By a year, he was in size 18-24.</p> <p>He has a long torso and shorter legs, so usually, he's one size ahead in the tops compared to the bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772655 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:48:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 772655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: L was jumbo sized at birth (and still is) so she never wore newborn sizes. I know shopaholic's K was in newborn until 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772650 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:46:09 +0000 MrsTiz 772650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I added the next size up because babies are bigger than I thought haha.</p> <p>So, basically 0-3 is newborn, you need a few 3-6 and a ton of 6-12's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772644 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:44:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 772644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is only 4 mos. so my experience is limited....<br /> She wore 0-3 until she was five weeks<br /> 3-6 until she was 12 weeks<br /> And has been in 6-12 since.<br /> I think she'll be in 6-12 for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772633 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:40:14 +0000 Weagle 772633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is only a year old, but she wore 6 &amp; 6-12 from 4 to 10 months. Most of her 6-12 tops and dresses still fit. She's long and skinny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-clothes-did-your-lo-wear-longest#post-772611 Fri, 10 May 2013 07:32:34 +0000 MrsTiz 772611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it varies depending on how your baby grows, but since it's summer and my LO will be born in November I want to take advantage of all the winter/fall clearance clothes.</p> <p>Would you get 0-3 or 3-6? I'm looking at Old Navy and Target right now </p>
