Lol put it this way I dont want to get to
much stuff. When baby will only fit into
half so is this a good idea? To stick
with my newborn and 0-3 stuff and wait til
baby 2months then get 3-6 months stuff and
then wait till baby 5months and get 6-9
months stuff. I think you dont know what
I mean cause I think if your from another
country they use words differently lol.

When buying baby clothes it's a good idea
to buy a little of everything. I
wouldn't so much the 'newborn' size. But
the 0-3 and the 3-6 buy a little here and
there. Because if you have a larger baby
then he or she may not be in the 0-3 very
long...And the same for 3-6 months. You
just kinda play it by ear. My daughter
is 7 months old tomorrow and she is still
in 3-6 month clothing. Yet her 3-6 month
sleepers she is out of because she is too
long for them. My cousin's baby is in
3-6 month clothing and he is 4 months old
but he is out of the sleepers too. He is
3 months younger than melia and he is
wearing the same sizes as her.
When is your baby due?
If due in the summer it's going to wear
onsies most of the time so you will need a
few of them. I would get 6-7 sleepers
so that you can do laundry once a week.
Then one or two outfits for when going
out. Now if you have a baby shower you
are going to get this stuff (normally)
if due in the winter then you should have
a few more sleepers than onsies. Get on
major jacket for the baby. Then get the
baby a few out fits with long sleeves and
paints.

I agree with what gen said. Don't buy
more than 1 or 2 newborns things and for
0-3 maybe get about 8 onesies, 8 sleepers,
2-3 outfits.
You can't go by the size on the labels.
Those are just guidelines but not all
babies are built the same. My baby was 8
lbs 5 oz at birth and never fit in newborn
stuff. By 6-8 weeks he was out of 0-3
months and into 3-6, now he's 3 1/2 months
and he's almost out of 3-6 and into 6-9.
All brands run differently too, there are
2 brands where he's practically out of
their 6-9 months and another where he just
fits.
But yeah, do it like you said just don't
assume when they're 5 months you'll be
going out to buy 6-9 month clothes. When
they start fitting perfectly in their 0-3
stuff, go out and buy a few 3-6 month
stuff. Just don't buy a ton because they
grow so fast.

Oh and seperates fit a little longer than
one piece outfits too. So sometimes you
can swing them a little longer than one
piece.

this is very true. My baby is 11 months
old, and her 18 month clothes fit great if
it's 2 piece, but the sleepers/1 piece
outfits are too short.

Lol all the english girls will know what
vests and grows are.
Vests are either sleeveless or short
sleeved items like a under-tshirt
grows are onsies - usually with sleeves
and legs

Ummm..I'm .English and I had to guess at
what she meant because I have never heard
of 'vest and grows'. I obviously know
what vests are and I know what a babygro
is (a 'onesie') but i've never heard of
'vest and grows'.
Just thought i'd say!
