Up until now she’s been fine but I’m finding that for baby grows etc I’m having to size up now. She’s almost 8months and she’s fitting into 9-12m. I’m wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? I also have never been able to get her to fit into any jeans or leggings etc as the waist is always too small for her. Has anyone else got the same issue? If so what have you done?

Yeah my little one seems to fit in 9-12months which looks more comfortable, 6-9 fits but a little tight and his quite tallso his little feet look squashed bless him, so I had to size up, I bought so much 6-9 outfits and im so gutted lol
me too! She only fit into 6-9 for the first few weeks of being 6 months 😭😭 I’ve maybe got 1 wear out if some outfits if that! 😭

We're about to move up to 9-12 too! My daughter is tracking in her weight % so I'm not worried.
Adults are all different heights and clothes sizes, even between shops I'll be a different size! If she's healthy and happy it's not an issue I'd say?
Agree a bit annoying buying clothes again! I just do big bundles on vinted for ease. My friend skipped right to 12-18 months and just rolled the sleeves up 😁

My son was always a size about the size he was supposed to be, I just started buying things 1-2 sizes bigger and having him wear more oversized things, even now that he’s slowed down with his growth I’ll shove bigger so he has room to grow

Yes we are the same, waist bands are always looking uncomfortable so I size up and then I end up rolling up the cuffs on the trousers or long sleeved tops

My son is currently 7 months and we've just started using 12-18 month baby grows xx

7 months and in some brands we wear 12-18mo 😅

My lo has just turned 8months and I've swapped his wardrobe over to the 12-18 month stuff we have from his older brother, he's still in the 9-12m Christmas outfits I'd bought but the leggings were a bit tight and the bodysuits started pulling on his shoulders as he's quite tall and long in the body! Some bits are massive but brands like gap I find run small!

7.5 months and in 12-18 babygrows now. She’s so long/tall and the smaller size was small on her toes which I didn’t like.

My lo has been in 9-12 for a while as she's chunky and we had the same problem, the waist felt too tight. Just put them in whatever fits, it's doesn't matter
Ahh thanks guys at least it seems pretty normal to size up! Have any of you had any comments from health visitors when getting your babies weighed? I’m not over feeding but my LO moved up 2 percentiles since she was born. I’m worried they would be concerned

Screw what the HV says, as long as your babies happy and healthy that’s all that matters (personal opinion here but I swear hvs are just there to make parents feel shit, I’ve refused to see mine since little man was 7 weeks old)
And 2 centiles is nothing my boy was born 50 centile and he’s now >99 centile 🤣
