My basby was 8 pound 8 and he fit most newborn things up until 6 weeks, was wearing some 0-3 month at the same time. Started putting him in 3-6 months about 8 or 9 weeks and they were a little big, growing into them now and he's 6.8kg. So I had a big-ish baby and newborn fit for a reasonable time, I actually had to get more newborn things as I didn't buy many cos I didn't think they would fit. ]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:09:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1277204&title=nb-size#1277204 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276958&title=nb-size#1276958 Author: High9

Hmmm, all so different. DS1 was 8lb 13oz and about 54 cm - long and skinnyish. I remember thinking that I didn't have enough NB stuff when he was born, thinking he'd a huge baby.

I think I'll be looking for some woollen nighties (AIO are annoying IMO!) in NB size, then it doesn't matter if he's too long. ]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:44:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276430&title=nb-size#1276430 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276425&title=nb-size#1276425 Author: Hopes

Jacob was big, but not huge - 9lb 1oz - and he hardly fit our NB clothes for long at all. In his case, he had really chubby thighs / bottom, and things just stopped doing up.

My first was 9lb 11oz and 54cm. He was only in NB for maybe a couple of weeks and that was only if they were a generous fit. He fit a lot of 0-3m clothes from birth.

My second was 8lb 1oz and 52cm. She fit NB for around 6 or so weeks i think.

DS was 8lb 6oz at birth and was in prem clothing for about a week or two. I think he moved into 0-3month clothes at about 6 weeks.

But, like the others have said, it depends on where they come from. PP is huge I find, he was still in a lot of PP newborn stuff at 8weeks, even now at 14months DS is in 6-12month clothing with plenty of room.]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:12:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276400&title=nb-size#1276400 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276399&title=nb-size#1276399 Author: High9

Funny, I found PP to be more generous and Farmers to be smaller! I do like the PP stuff with the adjustable waistbands though -- some of the 3-6 month stuff that was adjustable, DS wore from 6 weeks right through to 8 months!

Agree with you on Cotton On -- that was really small. DS couldn't fit their newborn stuff at all - he was 8lb 5.

My wee boy, was 7lb 9 oz and 54 cm long. About half my NB was too big for him for quite a while. I think from memory he outgrew most of it by about 4 months although the odd thing he was in up till 6 months. He was a very long skinny baby till about 4 months old. He then kind of just went into 3-6 month stuff.]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:08:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276341&title=nb-size#1276341 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276332&title=nb-size#1276332 Author: EmDee

My older 2 (8lb 13oz & 9lb 2oz at birth) were in them for about 4 weeks. Whereas my youngest (8lb at birth) was probably in them for about 6 weeks. I agree that it depends on your baby, i.e. if they are long and lean or short and chubby and also the manufacturers as the sizes all seem so different.]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 14:00:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276332&title=nb-size#1276332 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276306&title=nb-size#1276306 Author: busymum

Depends on who makes them, I've found Kmart stuff is really generous fit same with wee babes range from The Warehouse. I've also stayed away from stuff with feet, I put socks on DD instead as the AIO's with feet were the first things she grew out of.

I had the same prob Lil_Nic, then DD was born and she was in premie size for the first 4 weeks.

DD is 4 months old and still in 0-3 months size clothes. ]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:57:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276172&title=nb-size#1276172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276097&title=nb-size#1276097 Author: High9

I think it depends on their size at birth... DD was only 3kg 54cm long at birth and she grew very quickly - was 4kg and 55cm by 4 weeks/1 month and by 5 weeks was in 0-3 sizing. Though she oddly enough had one outfit that was NB 56cm and 4kg that still fitted perfect when she was 60cm and 8kg... - Go figure!

The other thing is the may be skinny but long or short and chubby... And not all babies fit NB.

I was told not to buy NB at all but when DD was born NB was massive on her (though she wasn't prem) but fitted within a week. So I did have a lot of 0-3. And tbh I didn't realise babies (NB anyway) were so small! ]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:43:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276097&title=nb-size#1276097 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276084&title=nb-size#1276084 Author: newme

And it depends on the clothing - soooo frustrating! I've just bought long sleeve onsies from Baby City for my 8 month old girls - who are on the small side but not tiny, in newborn size!
And they are just fitting some 0-3 month pants from Pumpkin Patch yet have outgrown others the same size from Pumpkin Patch.]]> Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:00:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276059&title=nb-size#1276059 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38185&PID=1276021&title=nb-size#1276021 Author: Whateversville

How long was your baby in NB/0000 size clothing before wearing 0-3 months?
