Where is everyone getting clothes for their boys?? This boy is not even 10 weeks and has mostly outgrown his 0-3 bodysuits and hates onesies since everything makes him feel hot. Anyone else got baby boy with long torso and can help me figure out where do I get clothes for him that he won’t outgrow in 2 weeks. I have tried Carters, Target, Amazon and what not.

i was looking at sizing today and was thinking the same.

We are 13 weeks, weight 10lbs 9oz but 23.5 inches. This makes him basically needing 6 months for length and just out of newborn for weight ��

@ringmomma,

I’m in the exact same boat!

Same here, at his 2 month appointment he was 24.5 in and 11lb 1oz. I heard Burt’s Bees has good onesie pajamas for long babies, but my guy likes to be warm.

@DizzyIzzy86,

second Burt’s bees! My little guy is 28 inches long and 15 pounds 3ounces, we love our Burt’s bees clothing!

H&M always lasted us the longest. My kids outgrow carters so fast.

For PJ check out little Sleepies, a bit pricey but will last a few months so ends up costing the same.

honestly i'm just putting him in whatever fits regardless of brand bc i can't find anything either lol. by 11 weeks he was wearing a 6-9m onesie. he's 14 weeks now and only wearing 6m and up. everything's a little baggy since he's not that chubby but his legs fit so ��‍♀️

@bbiew,

same here. 12 weeks and he’s going to be too long for 6-9 month footies pretty soon. He’s super skinny though. Measured him last night and he’s 26” but only a bit over 13lbs. Haha.

Burt’s bees are long and skinny!

Baby gap, H&M, and Joe fresh a lot of styles run long without running narrow. Also Burt’s bees run long but also very narrow so don’t work for an average or chunky baby.

Carter’s are nice but the sizing is way to inconsistent when ordering online I had bought sleepers in 3-6m for our first online and some were about the size of 0-3m some were just about the same at 6-9m and some were in between.

Bonds!! My guy is 13 weeks 14lbs and 26” long and the bonds fit sooo nice for his long body! I’m in Canada and the company is Australian, however they have a distributor here and the prints are so adorable and materials are excellent quality

@kdizzles,

I second BONDS wondersuits. I find they don’t feel as soft initially as some of the bamboo brands but they wash so much better and they really soften over time. My first born was in his forever, because of the optional feet coverings they have a lot of longevity in them!

HM and Burt’s bees!

Burt’s bees, cloud island, hm, modern moments, and any thrift find or hand me downs from his cousins. My little guy is only 13 weeks but 28 inches and only 15 pounds and 3 ounces so he’s in 6-9 month clothes, they’re just baggy. My husband is 6’5 and only 150 pounds so I’m assuming our son will have the baggy clothing issue his whole life. We don’t have the budget to purchase lots of new clothes he’ll just grow out of so thrift finds and hand me downs have worked great for us, he’s wears pink and floral sleepers from his cousin lol. but if you do have the budget Burt’s bees and cloud island have been 2 great brands we love and that he’s been able to wear the longest! We also make sure to wash and dry his clothes on the lowest temp to avoid shrinking in the laundry, it makes carter brand last longer.
