[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently have a 9lb 6oz baby, who was 9lbs at birth. Everyone told us we didn’t need newborn clothes and I wish we had ignored them. Sure 0-3m size “fits” but it is baggy and too loose in the snaps, meaning we are constantly adjusting from giving her wedgies, or her shoulders are escaping out the top. This is especially awkward for new grandparents to manage, right at the height of photo taking, meaning baby looks like she is constantly falling out of her clothes in snap shots. She’s two weeks old now, and I haven’t been well enough to run out to target to buy newborn sized clothes. Can you tell this irks me :)

Anyway, size 1 diapers are fine, but again, have lots of extra room and look overly puffy. We bought a a pack of newborn buggies and they fit so much better. The benefit of the size 1 is that it helps her stay in the too big clothes![/quote]

Really?

My 9 lb 9 oz baby did not fit in newborn diapers at birth!

Seriously, when they were cleaning him up and weighing him after he was born the newborn diaper was too tiny so they had to use size 1! I had a couple newborn outfits that I didn’t even bother to try on. We went straight to 0-3 month onesies and they fit snuggly. He was in 3-6 month clothes at 1 month though, and he continued growing fast the whole first year.

So, yeah it depends a lot.[/quote]Yes! Our nurse left the delivery room to go find a size 1 diaper.  They were only stocked with newborn and it was too small.  She was 9lbs 5oz.  She did come home from the hospital in a newborn outfit, but that was the last time she wore it and it was a squeeze.  She was in 0-3 for about 3 weeks before moving to 3-6 month clothing.  She was a big kid.[/quote]
