I bought Pumpkin Patch Teddy clothes for my cousins boy. He was born at 32/33 weeks and was sooooo small

Congratulations on your early arrival:yelclap:

Congratulations on your arrival..
I had both my boy early DS1 was 35wks and 1705gms and DS2 was 32wks and 2133gms

I found you can get some target 000000s and that Kmart 00000's are little but I didn't bother getting anything smaller as they grow so fast even DS1 who didn't grow much..

How much did she weight???? and how is she going????

my third was 2.2kgs and nothing fitted, she lived in nighties, the bonds ones and she was wrapped up in extra blankets to keep her warm :) i found that a 000000 didnt even fit her for a few weeks

All mine born before 30 weeks and thank goodness for Pumpkin Patch, all the outfits have lasted 4 premmie bubs.

Also worth checking the Ladies Auxillary Shop at the hospital if they have one. Whilst they have a lot of expensive hand made garments I picked up a lot of outfits on sale (end of season) etc.

Blessings to your little one.x

:iagree: Pumpkin patch are great for premmies. We also found our Myer babies wear had a lot of premmie and babyworld. Myer was the cheapest for us unless Pumpkin patch are on sale. Their sales are fantastic. Hope you and bub are doing well :hugs:

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.

My boys were born at 32 weeks and I too found that nothing fitted. A lot of the commercial made stuff are not thin enough for premmies.

Earlybirds.com.au makes clothes specific to premmies. I have no idea about where you could get patterns. Have you tried to goggle it?

Which hospital did you have her? They should have clothes for her.

Is she in an open cot or in an isolette?

Hey, CONGRATS!!:) How big is she? My youngets dd was born at 36 weeks, measuring 32 so 2180g (4ib13.) Target has a bonnie babes line which goes down to 000000 but I don't think all stores have them. Baby bjorn clothes fit but so expensive. I just put my daughter in 00000 which swam on her but that's ok. She greaw into them! She used to look so gorgeous in these jumpsuits which she was all curled up inside with the arms and legs just hanging down! The other thing is that premmies allways need to be wrapped well to keep them warm so I wouldn't spend a fortune on clothes for a short while when she will probably be wrapped up anyway!

Doll clothes are a cheap option and you can use them on dollies and teddies after. My second was 10wks early and my third was 12wks both around 1360kg, and that is what we used for months after they where discharged.

We named our daughter Harmony...She weighed 2.186kg and was 35.8cm long...She was only in special care nursary for 6 days before we were allowed to bring her home... All is going well.. A big thanks to all staff at Sunshine hospital too.

[MyFourCubs]

35.8cm long????! Are you sure? My Hannah was the same weight but 48.5cm...
So glad all is going well. Beatiful name!:)
