im looking for free premie clothes that i can sew. i have purchased patterns that say they are for preemies but clearly arent for true preemies. preemies are not 7 pounds. can i take these patterns and alter them for smaller sizes? is there an easy way to do this? i have the average sizes for premies is there anywhere to start with this?

most patterns online are for donation. and while that is nice, im looking to sale these to parents that have a dificult time finding clothing. i was suposed to deliver 2 months early and was shocked at not being able to fiind aproprate clothing for sale.

thank you!

I’m not too familiar with premies, but I have a child in my room at the daycare I work at. He is 14 months old, size 3-6 month clothes are baggy on him, his soft spot is about the size of the top of a soda can and it is sunken in a pretty good bit. He crawls and pulls himself up but when assisted to walk he stiffens himself up to where he is very rigid and wont move anything. Is this normal for infants this age and being premature, or is there something wrong.

Also the childs physican has stated that he is normal size for his age group and that he has no medical problems at all when the child has sever exemia.
He was a month premature
Per talking to another relative of the child that comes to the center. The parents put regular baby lotion on his skin and it does nothing for it. I have asked the parents question about this child and they seem very distant, the only thing I have obtained from them is that he will be on formula until he is two years old.
