It was comically huge on her. NB for my second. They were 7lbs 10 and 7pbs 12 for reference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2480397 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:28:51 +0000 pastemoo 2480397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: a million things! a 3 piece outfit, size 0-3, a sleeper size 0-3, some handmade stuff in unknown "size" that looked tiny but were too big.<br /> We only had maybe 4 nb outfits and all were gifted when he was a week old... and fit for a day or two.</p> <p>This time I bought a NB sleeper, and 2 0-3 sleepers (because I gave away DS's only tiny sleepers. Oops.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2480388 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:26:35 +0000 Alivoo01 2480388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just newborn since we knew even that would be a bit big for him given our growth scans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2480005 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:57:29 +0000 KT326 2480005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought a newborn and 0-3. Next time I will probably just bring newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479969 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 12:38:36 +0000 gingerbebe 2479969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any NB outfits because every mom I knew told me not to bother and because they estimated DS would be around 7.5-8lbs. I brought two 0-3 month outfits with me and of course he ended up being just shy of 7lb at birth and even smaller after a stint in NICU. He came home swimming in his sleeper and I had to rush out and get 3 NB sleepers that he ended up living in for SIX WEEKS! </p> <p>This time I bought 3 more NB sleepers for DS2 and one NB sized going home outfit. I'll pack both NB and 0-3 this time. Of course, knowing my luck, this one will be bigger and need the 0-3 month clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479856 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:52:38 +0000 red_seattle 2479856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newborn, both times. DS wore NB size home from the hospital (and for 2 months after). I suspected DD would be the same. And she was. NB was just the right size for both of them-- not too big, not too small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479844 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:48:46 +0000 pwnstar 2479844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought NB outfits. When we left the hospital, LO was just 6 lbs, so the NB outfits were huge, and we actually needed preemie clothes for a month or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479828 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:39:42 +0000 sapphire 2479828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just newborn.

The second time I brought newborn and 0-3, but only used the newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479761 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:00:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2479761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NB the first two times. It was great with the first, but the second time, I couldn't even get my new baby's going home outfit to snap around her neck. So the third time I brought size 0-3 months, but I ended up having a peanut and it was huge. Can ever win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479751 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 10:58:26 +0000 LindsayLou 2479751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought newborn, and it was still a bit loose on my 8 lb baby.

She was too big for the nb diapers they had so I was glad we brought big girl clothes.</p> <p>For my second I brought both and even though the NB outfit was a little short I used that one. It was outgrown a week later.</p> <p>My third I brought both and she squeezed into the 0-3 month. She's my baby elephant. Six weeks now and all the 3-6 month stuff is packed away.😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479521 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:54:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2479521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We packed both also, she was 100% NB size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479490 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:39:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 2479490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st baby we did newborn and 0-3, 2nd baby I just did newborn because I knew that it would work for almost any baby I had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479471 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:26:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 2479471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 - I packed almost all NB stuff and had to have my mom bring me bigger stuff. The hospital had to even scrounge up size 1 diapers, because he was too big for nb.</p> <p>DS2 - I was prepared to have another giant baby....and he wasn't. I brought mostly 0-3, and a little bit of nb stuff. DH brought more nb stuff from home.</p> <p>I was in the hospital 5 days (4 nights) with both, so we needed a lot of clothes for all the changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479468 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:25:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 2479468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NB. E was almost 9lbs and was able to wear NB home, so I figured we were probably safe. G was swimming in them for a week or two and was still wearing NB at 6wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479464 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:23:37 +0000 tinyperson 2479464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NB and it was huge.

Even both my kids were bigger than 8 lbs at birth the 0-3 would have been pretty big. </p> <p>With my first we were TG too so I had like 4 outfits with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-did-clothing-did-you-pack-for-baby#post-2479446 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 08:14:03 +0000 twodoghouse 2479446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Newborn, although I had a bunch of 0-3 at home that my mom could have grabbed in case they came out huge. They ended up smaller than we were expecting, though. They were drowning in newborn. My parents went out and bought a few preemie things for my son because he was under 5 lbs. He was long, though, so he fit awkwardly into preemie. </p>
