Where in the heck can I find preemie clothing?
I have looked everywhere! I found a few at walmart but they were white so that is a no go. Everywhere else had nothing literally. I looked at babies-r-us and only saw a few things and they were long sleeved! My baby is due any day and it’s over 100 here so she can’t wear long sleeves and she is only measuring 5lbs so her newborn stuff is going to be too big. My son was 7lb 13oz and newborn was big on him so on a 5lb baby it’s going to be huge. I just need at least a few outfits to make it through since I have tons and tons of all the other sizes but literally no preemie except one outfit and it’s capri’s and 3/4 sleeves which will only work inside or on cooler days which we haven’t had in quite a while at this point. Any ideas on where I can get some? Thanks. Oh and I don’t want to break the bank since she probably won’t be in it for super long.
The only short sleeved outfit I found at babies-r-us someone had spilled on.
Yeah I saw one pack of carter’s preemie capri’s at babies-r-us but didn’t get them cause I have no shirts/onesies to go with. Usually I always see them at walmart but they are sold out here right now I guess.

My daughter is a preemie now and we have done the hunt. OUr experience has been Walmart and Babies R Us have the best selection you will find in local stores. Just and FYI- We have 2 walmarts near us and one has next to nothing and the other has a ton. Online for really cute preemie stuff that your daughter can ware up to around 7 lbs is http://www.janieandjack.com. You have to look under girls layettes and then search by size. Doll clothes sometimes work, but the neck on doll clothes is often too small for a real baby.
Have you thought of doll clothing? This may seem a bit odd but some of them are nicer quality…

Walmart and Kohl’s. My sister bought my daughter her preemie clothes there when she was born.

Good luck!
ebay has lots of preemie clothing-new and used, at great prices.
Go to Buy, then Clothing/shoes etc. and select infants and toddlers, then preemie.
Congrats!
I was going to say Babies R Us, but since you already tried that, how about Carter’s? I’ve seen some preemie outfits there, but you may have to ask for help finding them.
Good luck!
I wouldnt buy preemie because its a waste..in a matter of a week or 2 she should start to fit in normal newborn clothing and it may be a tad big on her but at least she will get her wear out of them. Not sure if you have a marshalls or ross near you but i got alot of newborn clothing for my daughter who was 5 weeks early…although she was 6lbs 8oz witch is a good size for her being early…she did lose some weight and came home at 5lbs 14oz.
Wal Mart is usually the best place- the one where I live has numerous preemie outfits. You could also try Ross, JC Penney, Target, Gymboree, Children’s Place…
i had to get my son’s preemie clothes at wally world and jc pennys is where i got mine from!! hope this helps you out!
walmart, sears, carters children’s wear all sell preemie clothes. try a different walmart because they all carry different things, here our walmart has a bunch. oh yeah dillards also sells them
if you don’t mind getting some used you could try craigslist just wash them before you use them.
also the baby gowns might be a better option for a bit. also kmart sells preemie size onesies. maybe other things to never checked.
maybe try babiesrus online? i have always seen plenty of preemie clothing in our store..
I weighed 4 pounds when I was born and my mom said she bought some doll clothes for me, also my Grandmother was a seamstress so she made a lot of my clothes for me out of patterns for doll dresses. Know anyone who can sew?
I had a friend that had twin preemie girls and she went to Build A Bear in the mall and bought her babys clothing out of there. Its a really good idea because its actual clothes just tiny.
