my LO has been very close. she tends to outgrow things about one month earlier. so like she is almost 24 months and i switched her over to 24 months clothing at 23 months.

My LO is off the charts in height, so at almost 8 months, we are starting to wear 12 month clothes.

I don't have my own yet (just a few more weeks!), but my niece has always been off the charts on length, so nothing fit true to size. Like, at 18 months, she could wear 24 month clothing for length, but 12 month pants fit at the waist. So, she had all 24 month clothing that my SIL altered for her tiny waist.

@sorrycharlie: gosh it depends SO MUCH on the baby.

My sister's son is 7 months old and already in 9-12mos! And she is petite and small as is her husband, so it's so funny they have such a chub-a-lub babe! He's always been big. By the time he was 2 mos old he was already ahead of the sizes.

But MY BABY so far is seeming to fit according to size. I'm wondering if he will chunk up or if he'll always be more slender. He is nearly 2 mos old and still in newborn, and only a few 0-3 mos, though they tend to be big.

It also depends if you plan to BF or formula feed. According to WHO growth charts, EBF babies tend to be smaller than formula fed babies - not in a bad way at all, they just have different growth patterns.

I would plan for your baby to fit 9-12 mos around 9 mos old, but she could be 12 mos too, you never know... Or, she could be in 6 mos still. It just depends on her unique build.

It definitely depends on the baby.
My best friend has a toddler who was wearing size 24 month clothes at 14 months old.

@sorrycharlie: yeah, my sister's baby who is in 12 mos at 7 mos old is EBF, he hasn't even started solids yet! so there are always exceptions to the rule.
I know it's hard to plan I had a hard time with that too.
It's usually just the first 1-2 years though, after that most babies all even out to about the same size.
