Or moved quickly to 3 months?
-
We used them, but only for 2-3 weeks!
-
Yes but only for a month. I still think it's a necessity. We just bought the white Gerber cheap ones
-
My DD1 was in NB for 6 weeks but DD2 was born in size 0-3. NB wouldn't even snap around her neck!
-
Yes, he had about 10 onesies and a few other outfits that we used for 6 weeks. He was long but skinny so 0-3 month stuff was way too big at first.
-
Yes...we even got to use all of the tiny baby (under 7lbs, I think!) clothes which we were handed down! She was in TB for a couple of weeks and then NB for ages...maybe another month before she went into 0-3.
-
Yep, for quite a while - LO was tiny.
-
Yes! In fact we were dumb and only brought 0-3 month clothes with us to the hospital and LO was swimming in them. So I had to be shopping... yes right after giving birth and bought a some newborn clothes.
I would say 10 or so onies/sleepers is all you need if you wash clothes a lot... we washed like every other day because early on you are still learning... so there is a lot of blow outs and spit ups that end up on clothes.
I would say LO was in those for about a month or so.
-
Lo was early so we were in preemie/newborn for about 3 months. He was born at 5lbs 9oz.
-
We were in NB size for about 6-8 weeks. I had to buy more after he was born because based on stuff I read here I focused more on 3 month clothes and didn't have enough NB. Definitely have NB stuff on hand!
-
LO was born full term, but we still used NB for a couple months.
-
Only for a couple weeks, and honestly could have just used the 0-3 clothes.
-
@Raindrop: We did the same...I was convinced she was going to be 9lbs+, but nope! So all the pics of her at the hospital she looks swamped by her huge onesies!
-
My daughter was 6lbs. 14oz. at birth and most of her NB sleepers were too big for about 2 weeks. She's 5 weeks now and almost 9lbs. but is still in NB clothes.
-
She was 8.4lbs and wore them for about a month.
-
We had a bigger baby (9lb11, 22in) but were expecting that and only had one Carter's NB outfit gifted to us. It was a joke trying to get him in it! So we were glad we'd not bought any more, he couldn't wear them.
Around term, see if your practitioner can give you a weight estimate - experienced hands are usually pretty good, at worst within a pound or so, which is probably still good enough to know what to buy.
-
Mine were full term but small (4 lb 15 oz and 5 lb 15 oz) so they were in NB for quite a while. At almost 4 months, my son still wears NB pants!
-
@illumina: LOL! Yes! My doc told me I was going to have a 8-9+ lb baby! I had a 7.5 lb baby (40wk3d). Yup swimming in the clothes we bought. I'm glad we weren't the only ones that did that.
-
DD was over ten pounds and 22.5 inches at birth. She didn't fit in the newborn diapers provided by the hospital. I had to send DH out to get size ones. Newborn clothes were equally too small.
-
My kiddo's were 9lb1oz and 8lb13oz and both wore NB stuff about 3w. Biggest issue was length!
-
@snowjewelz: I would definitely recommend that you bring both sizes (a pair of newborn and a pair 0-3) to cover your bases.
We are doing that for this coming baby.
-
LO was 7 1/2 lbs and wore them for about a month.
-
E was 8lb, 12oz and wore NB clothes for a week or two.
-
@Raindrop: That's a good idea, I def need to remember this when packing hospital bag!
-
Yes, she was 7lb10oz & wore for 4-6 weeks (depending on brand)
-
8.6 and he wore them for 4-6 weeks
-
DS was 8lbs9oz and wore newborn for at least a month. He's not very long though just chunky. Id definitely take both to the hospital!
-
We used them for about 4 months! E was a little bit (6lb, 14oz at birth) . Now he's a lardbutt. Go figure.
-
L was 5lbs so, yea we used them for a while!
-
8 lb 2 oz and in them for a few mos
-
We didn't have any NB clothes, and had to send our moms to go buy some when DD was born! She was 7 lbs 2 oz and full term, but wore NB for about 6 weeks.
-
yep! had biggish and tall babies (8lbs9 and 7lbs 13) and still used nb for at least a month or so. it's nice to have some snug fitting sleepers that first month! (because that month feels like for-EVER) haha....
-
Had big babies but we did wear NB for about a week.
-
Daughter was born 7lbs 3oz. Wore newborn for a month and a half!
-
Dd was 8lb 13oz and I'd say we used nb clothes for at least 2 months? The 3 month stuff was huge on her
-
N is still in them at 6 weeks (born at 8lbs 6oz). They usually have lasted until 8 weeks with all 3 kids.
-
giant baby girl wore NB size for a few weeks - but only certain brands. I had some Carter's onesies I could never squeeze her in, but some other brands that were a little bigger that worked.
-
Our LO was born 6 lbs 11 oz and wore them for 8 weeks or so. She also wore NB diapers for about that long too.
-
DS wore newborn for about a month. I think it's worth it to buy some basics like onsies and sleepers.
-
Maybe for a week for some sleep gowns but everything else we pretty much went straight to 0-3 months. I thought she was going to be tiny bc DH and I are not tall/large people - but she was a healthy 8lbs 8oz and gained quickly so we barely used NB clothes
I would say LO was in those for about a month or so.
