WWGPD- First Christmas Outfit Sizing Question

[luv2rn4fun]

My EDD is 12/13.  I just ordered C's First Christmas Outfit from Carter's and am second guessing my decision on the size.  I ordered 3 months.

Would you have ordered 3 months or newborn?  I guess I should have just ordered both, keeping the tags on until we know more of when he arrives, how big he is, etc...

I would've ordered newborn.

My kids were 8 and 9lbs and they both still wore newborn for a few weeks. The first actually took a while to get into 0-3 month clothing.

So fun! My first was an October baby and we had a 'my first Christmas' footie pj that my mom got him.

I'm due mid-November so I'll probably just wait until arrival and order something then.

We bought the fleece sleeper in red with holiday print in NB. Gender neutral for team green baby Baby is wearing it home from hospital regardless of if it arrives before or after Xmas! 12/21 EDD

I always felt like carters ran a touch bigger than some other brands, so nb would have still worked for my DD. She was 8.1 & 21 inches

Newborn. I had a big baby, over 9 pounds, and he still wore newborn for about three weeks to a month.

Newborn for that close to Christmas

Thanks ladies! Looks like I need to exchange it for newborn

I bought a 3 month size but now I am thinking of exchanging it. DD was 8 lbs and wore newborn sizes for about 3 weeks.

I'm due mid November and bought a newborn sleep & play and a 0-3 month Carter's outfit for Thanksgiving. The outfit might be kind of big, but he'll still look adorable in it.

Both probably but save the receipt for returns.

My son was born at 7.1 and was in newborn for 8ish weeks. Some babies gain faster than others. Plus if your baby comes early they may be smaller.

0-3 was insanely huge on him at first.
