I made the mistake (that I believe most mothers make) of spending WAY too much money on my kids’ baby clothes! My daughter has about 10 coats, all 2t! I bought my son all of his newborn clothes at gymboree, and I think he wore them for about a month. I would really like to sell their old clothes and make some money since they’re just sitting in the garage in boxes just taking up valuable space; but I am afriad I will regret it because I will never get them back! Although, I noticed thay pretty much everyone gets rid of their kids’ clothes eventually. So, what do you think?

I need some advice on baby clothes?

I’m due in August with my little Lily Jacklyn! I’m starting to do some shopping and I’m going to be registering for my baby showers and things soon and I’m wondering…should I really worry about buying or registering for Newborn sized clothes or should I just go ahead and get 0-3 mos.? The doctor says she’s measuring big already and all the babies in our family have between 8 and 10lbs at birth. This is my first baby but I know with my nieces and nephews they never really seemed to wear the newborn clothes and I just don’t want to spend money on something that she’s not going to wear. So any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!!!

I bought special detergent for my 1 week old baby’s clothes so it’s sensitive on her skin, but I couldn’t find the fabric softener that I used when I had my first baby (or any fabric softener for newborn clothes at all), so I’m wondering if it’s ok to use the "Snuggle" dryer sheets or if I shouldn’t use anything at all. Experienced moms, please give me the 411. 10 pts for whoever makes the most sense.

Everyone told me that, and I listened. My daughter is still in newborn sized clothes at 5 weeks and the 0-3 month ones are still swallowing her! lol. I wish I would have bought more newborn clothes because all of her cutest clothes are 0-3 months!:)

How long was your baby in newborn sized clothes?

I am currently 19 weeks 4 days pregnant with our first baby and have started buying baby clothes here and there when Im out – just cant resist.

That being said I keep tending to buy clothes in the 3 months size range NOT the newborn stuff because it just looks TOO small!

The newborn clothes look like they would hardly fit on a doll let alone a baby! I was an average size when I was born – 7 lbs, and my fiance was 10 lbs when he was born…

That being said I worry that if I buy newborn clothes they simply wont fit the baby when he/she comes.

About how many lbs is the ‘newborn’ size supposed to fit?

Where do you buy baby clothes?

I’ve been buying 0-3 month baby clothing from places like Baby Gap and Mothercare and it’s actually quite expensive. I know babies aren’t cheap, but a lot of people are having a go that I’m spending £15 on 3 vests that they will only be able to wear a few times! This is confusing… Where do you buy newborn clothes at ‘normal’ prices then? I don’t really like buying things online, so what shops should I be looking in? (I live in the UK)

or do I have to bring my own newborn clothes? I have a going home outfit for baby but it never occurred to me what he/ she would wear during our stay. (I’m in the USA)
I do have a lot of baby clothes but they are mostly 0-3 months, not newborn sizes. I’m just not sure how big the baby is going to be (I’m tall), so I’m hesitant to buy a lot of newborn sizes that don’t fit.
Thanks for all of the responses.

Hi. I am pregnant with twins and at risk of preterm labor. Am currently 31 weeks and babies are both measuring right around 3 1/2 lbs.
I have a few preemie oufits but not sure if I should get more. Not sure at what point to take newborn clothes to hospital instead of preemie.
My sis had a full term baby who had to wear preemie clothes but don’t know what her babies weight was or if it was more a lengh issue.
Any info please.
