Useful info re clothing sizes

[The Nappy Lady]

Hi all,

Just having a big old sort out, and found this document which I thought might be useful, especially if you have a very long or short baby....

Best wishes,

Molly

This is helpful. Does anyone have anything similar for older children? My 4 year old son is tall and thin for his age so finding trousers is quite tricky - I have found the Primark ones quite good. Any other ideas?

Hi Marscapone,

I find generally that the same rules in the chart follow through to the larger sizes, if that makes sense?

My 6 year old is tall and thin and I've always had to go for clothes with adjustable waists (elastic & buttons etc.) with Primark tracksuit bottoms I thread my own elastic through them and stitch at each end to make the waist right otherwise they end up around her knees!

Thanks for posting this - worryingly notsoserious baby was taller than all of the 12 month sizes when she had her 8 month check up (3 months ago). No wonder it looks like I am obsessed with dressing her in micro-minis and capri pants.
