Topic: Newborn Sunhats Posted: 09 October 2010 at 8:24am |
Does anyone know where I can get newborn size sunhats?
With Jackson I could never find hats small enough. Even the XS from Pumpkin Patch was enormous. I ended up sewing a PP hat smaller, but it was a pain.
I'd just like to have a decent hat for this bubba!

Do you have a Mamma Mia down there? That's where I got T a hat from for last summer - although he was probably about 6 or so weeks before he used it, but I remember it was the only one I could find that was a decent size for him

Have your tried BabyStar or Kid Republic? They usually have a good selection.

I tried babystar/kid republic but they honestly didn't have a hat small enough for Lily's 34cm head

Cool. I guess now's a good time to be looking around. Might have to go on a wee shopping trip!
What is a baby's head size normally when they're very little?

I got a hat from baby city recently size small, I think it's going to be too big still but you could check them out as you might have a better idea than me of what size would work

Someone already mentioned Max and Tilly from Zero to Hero. Fit perfectly, material was soft but the brim stayed up.
