Baby Clothing Question
Hi, and thanks in advance for answers to this question.
This may sound incredibly ignorant, but is newborn clothing the same as 0-3 months?
Also, what sizes would you recommend a new mother register to receive? I think I've heard before that it's good not to have too much newborn clothing since many babies outgrow it so quickly.
Thank you!

Re: Baby Clothing Question
I posted a question on the Parenting board asking about coming home outfits.
I was told by lots of BTDT moms that the 0-3 month size was too big on their newborns, so I assume that newborn and 0-3 month are different. (I'm just as clueless as you!)
Anyway, as for what to register for, I have no idea... still trying to get a coming home outfit for DC who is due in 6 days!!!

Newborn is smaller than 0-3 months. Both my babies were 8 1/2 lbs when they were born and 0-3 months were still big on them. They were able to wear newborn clothes for a few weeks. We only had a couple outfits in newborn and the rest of the time they wore 0-3 months even though they were a little baggy.

Re: Baby Clothing Question
If your going to get newborn I wouldn't recommend getting to many. All 3 of my boys never wore newborn came home in 0-3mos. They were born at 9lb 22inch (I had one newborn outfit for him and the pants were like capris on him), 8.3lb 21.5 inc & 8.2lb 21inch.

Re: Baby Clothing Question
here are the items I'm starting out with in NB size:
-5 gowns (labelled newborn or one size fits all)
-One 3 pack of NB white long sleeved onsies
-2 outfits (pants and shirts) NB size
-About 5 (various colors,etc) short sleeved onesies NB size
-2 pants (that can be worn over onsies) NB size
I hope I have enough!
I have a bunch of other stuff 0-3 month size and older

Re: Baby Clothing Question
Thanks for the info! This is what I thought, but I really wasn't sure. So I'm guessing I should register for some 0-3 month things and maybe 3-6 months too. The newborn items I can pick up myself if I don't receive them as gifts. It sounds as if I shouldn't need much unless  is born early.
