My first DD was 21lbs and a couple of oz., but DD#2 is already 21lbs 6oz at 9 months--she's also the same length as DD#1 at a year, so I don't know if you really can plan for clothing sizes, etc. well in advance like that.

Re: how big was your baby at 12 months?

u can never really plan for clothing, esp that far ahead...and usually the clothing sizes (example 30-33 inches, 27-29 pounds)....really doesnt account for much, bc i know DD was never in the sizes that she "should" have been....

in either case, she was 20 pounds, 30 inches at a year, and was in most 12 month clothing, except for carters, which she was in 18 months....

DS is skinny so at 12 months he only weighed about 15-17 lbs.

My DS is 10 months and about 20lbs.

I wouldn't register for much over 0-3 months actually. You can't predict what sizes will fit when, there are some brands taht DS still wears 6 months and some where he wears 12 months.

Plus people bring clothes after the baby is born and usually that seems to be the bigger stuff.

Re: how big was your baby at 12 months?

I just want you to know my DS is almost 7 months old and weighs 17 lbs and 29 inches long. He already wears 12-18 month size clothing. You really can never tell what size they will be. DS never wore newborn size clothing. With that said, I would still purchase long sleeve footed cotton onesies in 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 12 and 18 month sizes. I would hold off on the fleece onesies and larger size clothing until your child is born.

Re: how big was your baby at 12 months?

I would just register for clothing up to 12 months. That way you have something in every size. Every baby is different. My baby came home from the hospital wearing 6-9 months clothes, so you just can't go by trends.

Re: how big was your baby at 12 months?

thanks ladies! i was actually wondering more about strollers and car seats, since with the travel system i want, the car seat only holds babies up to 22 lbs. i would hate to have to replace the carseat portion before a year, although i guess if it came to that, i could always get a 3-in-1 carseat that converts from infant to toddler to child.

The infant carseat?

My son was out of it at 2 months - and in the Britax Marathon. You never know.

Diana is right, you never know. My nephew was out of it at 4 months but my DS was in it until 8.5 months and my DD is 7.5 months and still in it. If you don't want to purchase 2 carseats then I would just get the convertable carseat in the beginning and use that.

Re: how big was your baby at 12 months?

22 lbs 3 ozs and was 29 inches


My 3rd baby is already over 18lbs and she is only 4 months old. Its hard to guess.


I quit using the infant seat when my first two were 4 months old. My 3rd baby will be done using in in a month (5 months old).

I think most people replace it before a year. I feel like we used it for a really long time and DS came out of it at 9.5 months.

There are a lot more factors besides height and weight to consider as well. Chat Icon
