babys outfit for going home from hospital

Hey everyone,

Just wondering ..

Im a bit confused. Im packing my bags for the hospital as i have not done so already. Typical, lol.

I have got an outfit to put Jaxon in to come home in but Im not sure if he will fit it or not. Would you put in another outfit just incase? Im not sure what sizes to take. I know he is going to weigh between 7.5-9 pound by scan done today. What if hes huge?? Im confused, lol. Im not too worried about anything else as the hospital provides nappies etc.

 

dunno sorry...was wondering this the other day too...

Some newborn stuff was good on Erin when she was born, but other stuff was a bit big - so I just gave up and chose her going home outfit based on what I thought was 'cute' LOL She was swamped ! See photo:



Ok, so you can't see the whole outfit (the yellow thing is a blanket), but check out the gigantic hat !

Wishful thinking Emma! If my monster was in 0000 for a little while then your twins will be... atleast it gives us something to buy for pressies!

I have found...Having Blake who was/is quite little that the BONDS range WONDERSUITS 0000 or 000 are the best. Nice and warm. Have the little bits on the hands you can fold over to stop bub scratching their faces and are nice and warm and wash well. They are not a fashion statement but are hugely practical and keep baby warm at this time of the year.NB size clothes are huge on most babies I think!!!

You get them from KMART. At the moment they are $11.99 each.

That's something we were told is that different brands can actually vary...ie..I noticed in T&T that their 000 was for 3-6 months were as most places I've gone thier 000 is for 0-3 months...it does not help with the confusion factor!

Bonds Wondersuits are the greatest thing!!! I had them for both boys. Back in the dark ages when I had Sean (1995) I had a friend send them over from Oz. Last year when I had Andrew I made the scary trek from the North Shore back to my old 'hood out west to get to KMart to get them.
I've found that Pumpkin Patch sizes are a lot bigger than the other brands, which is great for people like me who have babies that come out looking like 2 or 3 monthers, but not so great for those of you that have actual newborns. My advice is, grab an exchange card for anything small that you buy that you are unsure of (like Pumpkin Patch) so that you can exchange the size later on if need be. Remember also, that pretty much anything you put your new baby in will look huge for a week - and then won't fit two weeks later...the photos where they look like garden gnomes are so cute that it doesn't really matter if they look swamped.

Maya - I didn't 'go' to my high school...I survived it!

remember that if the outfit is too big or too small - you can always ring up asomeone to bring you another one.

I just wanted to say that I love the Bonds baby range. The wondersuits are sooooooooo cute. I plan to buy lots and have baby living in them for the first couple of months
