Baby Clothing Sizes Guide and Chart

Baby Clothing Sizes Guide and Chart

Finding the right clothing size for your baby can be tricky, especially with how quickly they grow. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about baby clothing sizes, including what they mean, how many clothes your baby might need, and how to plan for their rapid growth. With this information, you can confidently shop for comfortable and stylish outfits from Wyld Bub's neutral and personalised baby clothes collections.

How Do Baby Clothing Sizes Work?

Baby clothing sizes are generally based on three key factors: age, weight, and height.

  • Age: Most sizes are labeled according to age ranges, such as 0-3 months or 6-12 months. However, babies grow at different rates, so age-based sizing may not always fit perfectly.
  • Weight and Height: These are often better indicators of size than age. For example, "size 80" typically fits babies who are about 28-31 inches tall and weigh 18-22 pounds.
  • Size Labels: Some brands use measurements in inches or centimeters (e.g., size 80) rather than age ranges. Refer to a brand’s size chart for precise guidance.

Wyld Bub makes it easy to find the perfect fit with well-detailed sizing guides for all their neutral baby clothes.

How Many Baby Clothes Do I Need?

Babies go through multiple outfit changes daily, so having enough clothes on hand is essential. Here’s a breakdown of what you might need:

Everyday Basics

  • 7–10 Onesies or Bodysuits: These are versatile and easy to layer.
  • 5–7 Pairs of Pants or Leggings: Comfortable for crawling or playtime.
  • 3–5 Sleepers or Pajamas: Choose soft, breathable options for bedtime.

Seasonal Clothing

  • 2–3 Sweaters or Jackets: For colder weather.
  • 2–4 Hats: Include sun hats and warmer beanies.
  • 4–6 Pairs of Socks or Booties: Keep tiny toes warm.

Special Occasions

  • 1–2 Dressy Outfits: Ideal for events or photoshoots. Explore Wyld Bub’s range of personalised baby clothes for unique options.

Keep in mind that babies grow quickly, so avoid buying too many pieces in a single size.

How Quickly Do Babies Grow Out of Clothes?

Babies grow at astonishing rates, especially during the first year:

  • Newborns: Grow about 1–1.5 inches and gain 1–2 pounds per month during their first six months. They’ll typically outgrow newborn sizes within the first few weeks.
  • 3-6 Months: Growth slows slightly, but you’ll still need to size up every 2-3 months.
  • 6-12 Months: Babies start to grow more steadily, outgrowing sizes every 3-4 months.
  • 12 Months and Beyond: Growth rates vary, but most babies continue to move through sizes every 4-6 months.

Planning ahead by purchasing versatile or slightly larger sizes can save you from frequent shopping trips. Wyld Bub’s adjustable and comfortable designs are perfect for accommodating growth spurts.

Tips for Choosing Baby Clothes

  1. Prioritize Comfort
    Babies have delicate skin, so look for soft, breathable fabrics like cotton. Wyld Bub’s clothes are made with baby-friendly materials that are gentle and durable.

  2. Think Versatility
    Neutral tones and mix-and-match designs make it easier to create multiple outfits with fewer pieces. Wyld Bub’s neutral baby clothes are perfect for building a timeless wardrobe.
