Unfortunately, that’s not always how it works.
Like adults, infants come in all shapes and sizes.
And different brands of baby clothes are not consistently sized the same way.
So if youre feeling lost when it comes to babys clothing sizes, youre not alone.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping or organizing baby’s closet.
How do baby clothes sizes work?
So how do you know which size will fit your baby best?
Certain brands run smaller, larger, longer or shorter.
For example, size 3 months often means that it fits babies up to 3 months of age.
Many 6-month-old babies wear 9- or 12-month clothing.
Babies need a lot of stuff with clothing at the top of the list.
To avoid overwhelming yourself (and overspending), shop for baby in baby steps.
Just when you think you understood baby clothing sizes, youre hit with the European sizing system.
It should fit babies who are 16 to 20 pounds, or 26 to 28 inches long.
It likely fits babies ranging from 20 to 27 pounds, or 28 to 32 inches long.
Cracking the baby clothing sizes code can be tricky.
When in doubt, size up.
