Coming Home Outfit What Size?

Did you get newborn or 0-3 months?

I'm due in June so I was thinking about a long sleeve outfit.

What is everyone else doing?

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

i thought DS was going to be huge so i brought a 0-3 month outfit (pants, a onesie and a light jacket)

he was tiny (less than 7 lbs when we left the hospital) and he was swimming in that outfit!

so i would bring one of each Chat Icon

ETA: DS was born september 5th but it was very warm out when we brought him home on the 8th.

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

I had an April baby.
I had bought NB size and she ended up being a little under 6lbs, so nothing fit.

My mom bought her preemie size Chat Icon

She was tiny.

I think NB is a safe size to get and def long sleeves.

ETA: My other suggestion, places like Gap do sizes below NB, Up to 7lbs.
So does Childrens Place.

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

I am unsure what the baby will come home in. I may use one of the neutral outfits I have received already. I got one of those outfits with a hat, onesie, pants and a little jacket that would work great. Still undecided though.

I will prbbably make sure it has long sleeves though because of air conditioning concerns.

As for the size, I may do newborn.

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

I have a few newborn outfits that I could use, but I also have one preemie outfit, just in case he is too small.

DS was 8 lbs 1 oz when he was born and the NB clothes were big on him. He wore NB outfits for about 5 weeks. I'd get a NB outfit. You could always bring a 0-3 month outfit along just in case.

We have a NB outfit and a 0-3 outfit just in case he's on the big side.

All my BTDT mama friends say that if you want it to really fit, buy a preemie size for the take home outfit.

as small as my #1 was, preemie would have been too small! i vote NB for take home--it will fit approx 6-10 pounds. most babies are in that range. 0-3 is HUGE compared to NB!

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

I will be getting a NB & 0-3. We are hitting up the outlets in PA this weekend, so I might even get a premie outfit to be on the safe side.

Re: Coming Home Outfit What Size?

i'm going with a newborn outfit. When I had my DD i brought a newborn outfit and it was still swimming on her since she was so tiny and i wound up putting her in premie clothes for about a month.

my DH never wore NB sizes either when he was a baby. He was 9lbs. at birth and went straight into 0-3 month sizes.

This is exactly why I haven't purchased her coming home outfit! I have no idea how much she is going to weigh, so I'm going to wait until the latest possible to decide on something.
