If the twins are born around 5lbs....

Will they fit into newborn clothes or should I have some preemie ones too?

I would skip the preemie clothes, they will outgrow it so fast.

Preemie clothing fit my boys bodies well but were too short in length. They ended up wearing newborn for a few months. Then all of a sudden they outgrew the newborn and began skipping some sizes. they are so big now!!

My twins were too tall for the preemie clothes. I think they only go to 18 inches.

My twins were 5.1lb and 4.15lb and 18.5 inches. The newborn clothes were HUGE on them. They wore preemie clothes for about 3 weeks and then they got too short. They NB clothes were still big on them at that point, but I had to put them they in b/c of the length. They wore newborn until were around 3 months old.

My boys were 5 lbs 1 oz and 6lbs. I had to run out an get premie clothes...they fit into nothing. They wore premie clothes the first three weeks. I then donated them to a friend how had a premie a couple months after I did.

I would wait until they are born and then someone can run to the store and get some. My twins were 7 pounds and 20.5 inches at birth.
