When you buy clothes for baby,
you feel its fun and exciting to pick out a special outfit for baby
to wear when your baby have just born. However, you need buy right size and
here are some tips for choosing a coming home outfit for baby
that is comfortable and suitable.
Baby clothing
sizes are usually based on age: preemie, 0 to 3 months (newborn), 3 to 6
months, 6 to 9 months, 9 to 12 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. But
one manufacturer's 6 to 9 months may be quite different from another's because
there are no standard sizes in the industry. Every brand of baby clothes
has its own size specifications. For example, if you're buying for a
3-month-old, buy a 6-month-old size; if you're shopping for a 6-month-old, buy
a 12-month-old size, and so on. Even though that doubled size may seem a little
big at first, your baby will grow into the clothing quickly and you'll have
leeway for shrinkage.
You don't always have
to double the size, though. It depends on the manufacturer, so experiment. Then,
buy one to two sizes up, depending on your child's size. For example, an
average-sized 2-year-old (a toddler in the 50th percentile for height and
weight) can probably wear a size 3. But a large 2-year-old (say, in the 95th
percentile) might wear a size 4, she said.
Read the weight and
length charts found on the back of many garment packages or consult a size
chart, which many baby clothing
stores keep on hand, especially those that sell garments in European sizes. But
be sure to know your baby's height in inches--that's crucial to converting your
baby's size to centimeters.
