So I can’t resist anymore and would love to be able to by a few clothing items as I constantly pass cute things but what size do I buy?!

I'd buy more 1 to 3 months than first size.. but you will probably need a few first size items. They just grow so fast it's not worth buying heaps x

My first baby was 8lbs 3 at birth and he was in the newborn size for about a month I think. Newborn size is actually fairly big from some shops! You can look up the weight / size guides online nearer to your due date once you’ve been given an estimated birth weight, though bear in mind they are not always accurate! Also no harm in buying cute clothes in bigger sizes as they will grow into them 😊

Definitely newborn at first. My daughter was 8lb 6 and some newborn stuff was big on her! Lasted about a month I’d say x

Would potentially skip newborn. My son was long and grew out of newborn in a week.

I would start with up to 1 month and more 0-3. My little girl was 9.3 and wasn’t in the newborn stuff long at all. I think she was in up to 1m for about a couple of weeks and then into 0-3. I don’t know about anyone else but I bought loads of dresses for my little girl in the 0-3/newborn sizes and never put her in them because they were so annoying to hold her in. My girl lived in Sleepsuits!
