I am a few days shy of being 35 weeks pregnant and I try to prepare as best I can for my little man to arrive. I was looking at the clothes I received from my baby shower and I was curious how long a baby is considered a newborn, and what is the difference between clothes newborn and 0-3 months baby clothes. Basically … Newborn usually means up to 8 Lbs. 0-3 months usually means up to 12 lbs. I found that the length is more a weight difference, however. My daughter was 8 pounds 5 ounces, and the baby he was for a time.
I'd say after three months, it is no longer a newborn.
Newborn clothing is supposed to be for up to eight pounds. . . . Emma wore it until ten pounds.
really it all depends on how large your baby is at birth (height and weight) Some babies (like mine) dont stay in newborn clothes very long. . maybe 2 weeks? 0-3 mos will mostly last you a little while, unless your baby is over 8lbs. . Do any of the clothes list height and wait of the child? (like some clothes that I had for my son would say 0-3 mos or 12-18 lbs) Things like that. .
good luck to you! and congrats! (oh and I would say they are “considered” newborn, not as in clothing size, but just after being born to about 2 mos. . after which they are called infants. )
I think a baby is considered a newborn until they are about four months. Newborn clothes are typically smaller than 0-3 month clothing. My two month old already out grew her “newborn” clothing but she still fits in her 0-3 month clothes. Now that we're on the subject, don't you think the sizing of baby clothes is messed up? My daughter fits in some 0-3 months clothes, but she can also wear some 6 months clothes. It's retarded, clothing companies need to stick to one pattern for sizes. They're all messed up!
