I would only suggest buying preemie clothes if you have an actual preemie, a strong family history of small babies on both sides, or if you are of an ethnicity that usually has smaller babies (many of my friends from South Asia have small babies, around 5-6 pounds, so it would be worth it for them to buy a couple preemie outfits.) |
I agree. My son was 9.1lbs and was 20.9 inches long. Newborn sizes were a bit big on him at first but he quickly grew into them (like within a couple of weeks) and just as quickly grew out of them! He's now in 3-6month clothing. They grow incredibly quickly!!
