Newborn or 0-3?

I'm curious as to what size clothes do you buy for baby? Newborn or 0-3? I have a few outfits that are newborn and the rest are 0-3. Should I buy more newborn? Im 38+3

I wouldnt go crazy on the newborn clothes until after u have babe. Some babies are born bigger and dont even fit into the nb size. My son was in nb for awhile but some brands of 0-3 were narrow enough that he could fit them.

My daughter was nb for almost 3 months and 0-3 months for like 2 months after that so it all depends on the size of your baby my daughter was 7lbs at birth

My first born was only in newborns for a week or so. This one is very long buy skinny so hoping she fits in newborns. I bought maybe 5-6 newborn outfits a ton of 0-3 and 3-6

Just buy k few of each size cause you dunno how big baby will be. My son was 9lbs and 21 inches when born but we knew beforehand that there was no way id have a small baby cause Im almost 6ft and daddy is over 6ft. We bought about 10 vests and 10 sleepsuits newborn, and about same again in 0-3. As presents once Mr arrived we got a variety of newborn and 0-3 clothes like trousers, t shirts, cardigans, dungarees etc. Some people dress their baby in sleepsuits the majority of the time, my boy only wore one the day he was born, and at night after that. .he wore proper clothes through the day from 1 day old. By 8w he was in 3-6m clothes as over 2 foot tall, and now at 15w, he is in 6-9m clothes as 3-6 too short for him now x

I didn't buy many newborn clothes for my baby...mostly 0-3 and up. He was born 2 weeks early and weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and 0-3 was too big so I had to go buy some newborns clothes. He's 2 months now and weigh 10 lbs 2 oz now and he still can still fit newborn onesies. The footie pjs he wear are 0-3 so he can have room to stretch out in. All babies are different so just have a variety of sizes.

I bought 10-12 outfits for sizes 3-12 mo. And a couple newborn sizes. If your baby is 8lbs or so she'll only be in 3 mo for a short time. Its best to buy bigger clothes because before you know it they'll be tearing through there clothes size by size :)

I have clothes all the way up to 9+ months. but thats cuz we have a place in tn called ross's and it has some amazing deals. its a place where stores sell them discontinued or imperfect things. like i bought a pack of 10 onesies for $7 bc the stitching was dark blue instead of black. but i have about 10nb onesies and like 3 pairs of pants. also we go to church so i bought her 2 nb dresses. but most of her things are 0-3 or 3-6

Buy a couple extra onesies (plain or decorative) but don't go overboard. You can always do a load of laundry if baby is still in NB and down to the last onesie or outfit. And some 0-3 month stuff fits babies in NB size clothes depending on what brand they are so if you happen to put baby in 0-3 outfit one day that fits perfect and the next day there's one that's too big don't be alarmed lol my daughter can fit up to 3T at 20 months old depending on who made it! Lol some clothes (pants and bottoms mostly) 18-24 is too big so she's still in 12 months lol

Im only getting the take home outfit in newborn, and then a few 0 to 3 m and a few 3 to 6 m. Don't go crazy on outfits cuz they grow so fast. Plus most of the time they will be in sleepers and onesies.
