8m still wearing 3-6 month clothing
My LO is 8 months but still comfortably fits into 3-6m clothing. He is breastfed and usually has some sort of solids for breakfast, and then in the evening as well. His appetite for milk hasn't changed since we started weaning, and he is generally happy. But I am worried that he hasn't put on much weight.
I heard that it is normal for babies to not gain weight as quickly when they start solids. But I am a little concerned. I'll be taking him to be weighed next time we have the midwife clinic.
Anyone else have an 8m old who is still wearing 3-6m? I guess I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance that we're not the only ones! 😅

I wouldn’t stress too much. My first temporarily stopped growing at 6 months 😂. She stayed in 6-9 month clothes till she was 18 months and even then I only moved her up as it was summer and didn’t want to risk a growth spurt after I brought new clothes.
Get him weighed and see what they say. With my first they weren’t worried as she continue on the same weight percentile. She dropped from 50th to 25th (but walked at 8 months) and then she stayed on 25th so they weren’t worried. As long as she wasn’t loosing weight they were fine with her being dinky.
My twins are still in 3-6 month clothes, they’re 8 months on the 14th xx
My little girl is in a variety of sizes 😂 just moved up to 6-9 months for vests and baby grows (although vests I may need to go up to 9-12 as they seem a bit tight? 😐) but outfits wise, she still mostly fits in 3-6 months although I think she’s just had a spurt as they now seem to be getting a little short and tight. She was 8 months on 17th
Not the same with my 8 month old who is in 6-9 months, but she is currently wearing the same clothes her brother was in at 12/13 months old 😅
They can still share trousers between them if needed now and he’s just turned 2. They just show off his ankles 🤣
Yep same here, still in 3-6 month clothes. Our little girl could still fit in some 0-3 month stuff when she was 6 months, she’s just little, but not unhealthily so.
My LO is also still in 3-6months clothes - I wouldn't worry about it
Thank you, everyone! I feel much better knowing my LO isn't the only one still wearing 3-6m! 😅
I am still going to get LO weighed as I'm curious about his weight and perhaps get some advice from the midwives too. Some people h
ave told me that LO needs to drink formula milk to gain weight, but we'll see what his weight actually is and go from there.
My little girl still wears 0-3 month clothes and she is 8 months on Thursday. Don’t worry every baby is different
My little girl was 8 months old on 18th and she’s mainly in 3-6 but she is still wearing 0-3 in some bits. Shes stayed on her percentile perfectly so I’ve got no concerns x
