Clothing Sizes

When choosing sizes consider the season it will be when the baby can wear the garment. See this general guide:

Size 0000 to fit from Birth - 1-2 months:
This size only fits a baby for the first few weeks of a small baby's lifetime. This size is best avoided when buying a gift. By the time the parents have organised their gifts after coming home from hospital the baby may not get much wear out of a garment this small unless the baby is on the smaller side.

Size 000 to fit a 2-5 month old:
A better choice for garments as they will get more wear.

Size 00 to fit a 4-6 month old:
Again, a better choice for garments as they will get more wear.

Size 0 to fit a 6-12 month old:
The best choice for a clothing for a baby under one year as it will get the most wear and spread across a longer range of seasons.

Size 1 to fit a 1 year old:
Should fit for a reasonable amount that the baby is approximately one year old.

Size 2 to fit a 2 year old:
Should fit for a reasonable amount that the baby is approximately two years old.

And so on...

Please note that there isn't a standardised sizing system for baby clothing. As with adult fashion, different designers cut their garments a little differently and there may be slight variations in sizing between brands.

The following suggestions have been made to help to guide you in making appropriate selections.
