Actually, you sort of do want to dress your newborn in clothes that are too big because you'll be washing them after every wear. Thus, the shrinkage is enormous. So the 6 month size is actually a pretty good fit for a 3 month old after a few washes. Of course if you have a tiny baby (6 lbs. or less) you might need a few more newborn and 3-month size items. There is only so much you can plan in advance! Laurie Hi Caroline! Actually, you sort of do want to dress your newborn in clothes that are too big because you’ll be washing them after every wear.

I am so starved for this kind of info. I have a question: how many of these clothes should you buy in the newborn size? I know you advised not to buy too many newborn or 3 mo. sizes, but you don't want to dress your newborn in clothes that are too big, right? Thanks, Caroline Hi Laurie,

With a 7 month old of our own we know all too well that what you think you need, you probably don't, and what you actually need you never had a clue existed. These are some very good tips!
