My sister organised a surprise baby shower for me, my husband, mum, brothers, neices, nephews were all in on it.
needless to say it was wonderful
however i got lots of clothes for 0-3 month old - my baby girl is due in dec and i have been given lots of dressses and was wondering should i go and get some of them changed into a bigger size.
so far for 0-3 months including what i received yesterday include:
8 sleep suits
14 vests
10 socks
3 tights
3 jackets
2 jumpers
11 dresses
2 dungaree jumpsuits
3 leggings
2 skirts
5 tops
3 warmer tops
4 booties
5 hats
or do you think this is ample for a 0-3 month old to get through.
that sounds about right. I would take back some of the vests though. 14 is an insane number. But trust me, you will be glad you have all those clothes if you have a baby who spits up a lot and are changing her clothes 3 times a day. It will save you from having to do laundry constantly. Also make sure you have at least a dozen onsies in size NB. Before I had my son I was always under the assumption that babies only fit in newborn clothes for a week and then went into 0-3months. My son was born 6lb-11oz and was wearing preemie clothes for the first 3 weeks, then grew into NB onsies, then grew into the NB outfits at 6 weeks. He’s 10 weeks old and the 0-3 month clothes just now fit him well, and he is not a small baby anymore. He’s now 12-1 and 23 1/2 in.
I guess though it all depends on your baby, but from my personal experience they don’t grow out of there clothes at first, as fast as people make it out to be.

Exchange them for larger sizes. Firstly, my daughter outgrew the 0-3 months clothing by the time she was about 8 weeks old. Because they really shouldn’t have too much contact with the many people until they’ve had vaccinations and had some time to develope their immune system, chances are great you’re not going to take them out often.. they’ll be home in onsies or t-shirts, mostly. I don’t think I ever had my daughter in a dress when she was 0-3 months old.. much less leggings, toss the tights, socks.. really.. socks??? How could anyone in their right mind wear 14 vests (baby or adult!?!)
