Christmas onsie/newborn sleeper

[undecidedowl]

I would get 0-3 month.

I'd probably buy this in NB and 0-3, not remove tags or wash until kiddo arrives, and return the one I don't need.

Both. Take one back.

My kids were 8 lbs and 22 (and 21 for DD2) inches long and were in newborn for a while. I'd probably buy both sizes but I really think you'll end up needing newborn.

I would still get newborn. They're so scrawny those first few weeks.

Not to jinx you, but DD2 was due Dec 14 and didn't come until 12/23. We brought her home on Christmas Eve. It was crazy. I'm glad she came when she was ready, but it would have been nice if she came a little earlier.

I'd probably go with newborn. DD was 9lbs 1oz, and 0-3 month was still big on her for the first few weeks

Although I do like the buy both sizes and return one strategy

This is what I would do, with anything from Carter's. They have a very generous return policy.

eta: If you have to choose one size, I think you will most likely need NB, especially if you are overdue.

I had a big baby and he still wore NB for about 3 weeks.

We put regular sleepers over the cord stump. It was NBD and didn't irritate it.

I'd buy NB

Are snappy sleepers okay or is a zipper sleeper or onsie/pant combo better? Also, this is gender neutral and not girly, right?

For reference: www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-one-pieces/V_115A232.html?dwvar_V__115A232_size=3M&dwvar_V__115A232_color=Color#q=Christmas&prefn1=brand&prefv1=carters&prefn2=size&prefv2=NB%7C3M&start=23

Zippers vs snaps is entirely a preference thing.

i think what you posted is gender neutral and perfect.

J was 8 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches at birth and wore NB for 6 weeks. His cord stump fell off at 5 days. I kept him mostly in sleepers, pants kind of freaked me out with the cord. I always was paranoid they would ride up and hurt him.

[speckledfrog]

I would get a NB one. He only needs to wear it for a week or two and I hated big baggy clothes on my boys.

eta: I like snaps because I could keep her upper body covered while changing, but H likes zippers. As do like 90% of people. 

Me, too!
