Did your baby wear nb size clothes?

[cricketwife]

Nope. My 22 inch long baby was too long for newborn from the start. Happily, I had only bought two newborn sizer sleepers so nbd.

[t]

DD1 did for about 5-6 weeks - she was 6 lb 15 oz at birth.  I had one NB sleeper as a just-in-case outfit for the hospital and some onesies/pants.  

DD2 wore them for a week - she was 8 lb 11oz at birth.  Because of DD1's birth weight, I only took out NB stuff of DD1's to wash ahead of time.  

Figures.

[rikki]

Yes, for about 5-6 weeks.

[pooh8402]

Yes. Still is wearing some, although I dragged out all of his 0-3m stuff this week. He was 7#3 at birth. He still fits in NB in girth, but has a long torso, so most of the NB stuff is too short.

[brooklyn]

My kid was 9 lbs 5 oz and wore nb for less than a week. And was never able to wear footed sleepers.

[tulips]

Yes. At least 6 weeks for each baby. They were born at 7lbs 8oz and 6lbs 7oz.

[natablue]

Yes, for about two months if not a little longer.

[lindsaymg]

Yes, I had none since DS didn't need them but shyness 6lb7oz and lost about a pound of birthweight afterwards so she was drowning in 0-3.

[zarapipe]

Dd1, yes at 7lb 9oz.

Dd2, not really at 9lb.

[anna7602]

Neither of my kids did- 7 lbs, 10 oz and 8 lbs, 7 oz. at birth. They went straight to 0-3 month sized clothing.

[dcn]

Yes for awhile, 2-3 months I think? I am due 12/12 I need to go look at these cute Xmas clothes!!

[mae141]

For a month or so. She was 7lbs 7oz at birth. She was born a week before Christmas and her Christmas outfit was 0-3 and she was swimming in it.

[redheadk]

Yes, for a while. I can't remember how long. Somewhere between 2 and 3 months.

[linz]

Yes but they were preemies and only 5.5 lbs when they came home. They wore them for a couple months.

[Ashley&Scott]

Nope. He was almost 10lb when he was born.

[humpforfree]

Yes. 7lbs5oz at birth. Wore for a few weeks? He gained quickly though.

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes for a while.

[cjeanette]

Yes.
C for a little over a month.
E for 3 months

[amaranth]

Yes, for 2-3 weeks.

[GotWine]

Yes

They were both in nb clothes for almost 8 weeks.

Dd was 6lbs 6oz and ds was 6lbs 4oz

[jorja]

Yes. For 10 weeks.

I had this exact same dilemma in regard to Christmas clothes last year. I was due 12/2, she came 11/12, and was still most definitely wearing NB at Christmas.

I made the wrong choice and had a really beautiful Christmas dress in 0-3 months

[meij]

No, neither did. DD probably could have, but DS no way. He was wearing size two diapers from the start lol. He went right to 3mos stuff.

[luv2rn4fun]

Yes! For a good 2-3 months, can't remember exactly but it was a long time. Everyone kept telling me not to buy any newborn clothes because he wouldn't wear them long or need them at all.  Yeah, he was 5lbs 15oz at 41w1d and dropped 1/2 lb after birth. He was so tiny he was swimming in newborn (we almost bought preemie after he was born but decided to just let him wear his newborn clothes). I was also due just before Christmas (12/13/14) and C was born 12/21 after being induced (he was so close to being a Christmas baby and might have been if we didn't induce...the latest they would let me go was 12/27). So excited for you!!!  Definitely buy all the cute Christmas outfits you want! Best Christmas present ever!

[ladygrey]

Yes, she was 6lb9oz and stayed in NB size for 2.5 months. I was so annoyed with everyone who said don't bother with NB clothes - we definitely had to run out and buy more once we got home from the hospital!

[redwino]

Yep until about 12 weeks. She's still in 0-3 at 5 months. She's was 6lb4oz at birth.

[NandaB]

No
For a week
For a couple months.


Surely by now someone has told you to just buy both, right? I only read the first and last page

[Deleted]

Not really. We had a NB pajama at the maternity but then we realized her poor legs were cramped up in it. She was swimming in the 3 months, but we found a few 1 month sizes

[fashionx]

Yes, she's just now outgrowing her NB footed pj's at 6 weeks old, still fits onesies but the 0-3 are better now I think.

Eta: she was 6 lbs 14 oz at birth.
