Kinda desperate here guys...
my son is 5 months old. He has no medical problems he’s perfectly healthy, he’s just a little big. His weight is in the 70th percentile... but I’ve been buying literally 18 month clothing and NOTHING fits.. and if it does, it fits for like a week. Seems like a common problem but it’s really frustrating since I live in Alaska, winters coming up and he NEEDS warm clothes. I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions?

My dd was in the 99th percentile when she was an infant, I had to buy different brands in varying sizes. Carters I usually found to be one the smaller size, but then once in a while, some of their clothes were baggy. It's hit or miss. Target is one of my favorite places for her, their shirts are usually loose and you could try a size larger in the pants and just roll them up if they're too long. I don't know about the boys section, but the girls section has jeggings right now that look just like a pair of jeans. If you don't mind him wearing girl pants, maybe the extra stretch will help accommodate his extra chunk 😂
@akcatprincess, that’s what I have to do otherwise things are too snug
@akcatprincess, try items with spandex in them (like legging material)
@lizsouthwick, yeah I’m thinking that’s the route of gonna take. I think I might have to buy everything in 2 pieces like a shirt and pants instead of onesies 😭
@laniejay, and yeah it’s odd, that’s why I’m asking for clothes suggestions.
My sons weight is in the 90% & height in just the 50%.. so he’s a little short & chunky. I understand what you mean about the width of legs.. I found that jogger sweats fit best because they are baggy at the thighs.
@laniejay, the shoulders are too small, especially on onesies and the width of the legs is too tight /:
@flamingomom, thanks hun I appreciate it. I’m not sure what it is... me and his dad are both semi short people so it can’t be that he’s long. I’ve tried all different brands and nothing fits
Seems odd 18 months would be too small for a 5 month old in the 70th percentile- how don’t they fit?
Are you buying the same brand? My daughter was in the 90th percentile for weight and she never wore bigger than a couple months in Carters clothing. Maybe try finding brands that run a little bigger? Sorry that’s all I can think of
Clothes
Do you guys think it's pointless to buy new clothes at this point? I'm 33 weeks tomorrow, so I still have 7 weeks left with nothing that fits me, literally everything I bought a month or 2 ago doesn't fit. I have like 3 shirts that fit me. My boyfriend said it was pointless to get new clothes at this point but I don't think it is..I don't even like doing anything anymore because of lack of clothes that fit lol.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Yesterday's estimated weight on my baby during the ultrasound he weighed 7lb 11oz do you think he will fit into newborn clothes the day he's born ? if he comes out at around 8lbs? Or should I take 0-3 just in case ??
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@carmek, yeah I’ve been rolling up the pants for awhile that works!! Lol thanks so much I’ll try that, I don’t mind him wearing girl pants at all... I mean what makes them girl pants anyways? There in the girls section and that’s all? Lol. I’ll have to go look at those!
