3-6 month clothing way too big and 0-3 getting too small

Any one else in that in between sizing where some 3-6 month is like a tent on their babies but 0-3 is getting too tight? And why are shops different in sizing? I got 0-3 clothes from primark that only fit my LO for about 3 weeks after birth and up to 3 months in next that were too big till he was about 4-5 weeks but now the bodysuits are too small because of his length in the body but the sleepsuits are fine ! My LO is nearly 8 weeks and around the 75th percentile for both weight and length. Nothing makes me more angry than baby clothing sizes!

You could try putting hairbands (not right, there should be no marks on the baby) around their ankles for bigger bodysuits and roll the sleeves. My daughter is 3 mo but she wears 6-9 and if I want her to wear something more loose I dress her in 9-12 but then I have to roll the sleeves a bit. She's around the 97th percentile

Snap. We are 7 weeks tomorrow and 75th percentile in length. The body of 0-3 months fit but the length doesn’t so having to put him in 3-6 month now. Though at least with the hot weather he is in shorts and short legs so no issues as there with the 0-3 months 🤣🤣

My 9 week old is wearing 3-6 month clothes ! And they are starting to get abit small 😂. She’s a chunky girl.

I get all her clothes from Asda ! Really nice soft material , good price and sizes are quite generous. Doesn’t shrink in wash either

I would try bodysuit extenders! They give you a few extra weeks in the vests!

H&M sell in between sizes, 2-4, 4-6 etc and they’re really good quality too

Ive found matalan were well proportioned, asdas are a bit wide, and primarks a bit long, he's getting longer than wider at the moment so Im just bearing that in mind when shopping
