Newborn clothes size

I understand that baby grew up fast and its best to buy bigger size. But my MIL is insisting to buy newborn size and despite being told of my concern on baby size and fast growth she insist to have 12pcs of tie front newborn size so that baby will be comfy. I do not want to disrespect so ill do as she say while purchasing some bigger size to standby. but im confused to buy 52cm or 59cm newborn clothes as 0-3months is considered big to her too. #advicepls

I guess it depends on whats ur current baby size in gestation at 39 weeks so u have an idea what to prepare. i was on the heavier side at 3 kg so i prepped larger clothes 0-3, and 3-6 months from mothercare. but other mommies had smaller babies so maybe thats why ur MIL rather have tinier clothes. check in with ur mother and MIL what are their kids general sizes too. for e.g. my family was all 2.6kg at birth so tiny clothes of course but my husband and his siblings were all 3.3kg and above. if ure planning to fully breastfeed theres a higher chance of baby gaining weight better. my baby has been a constant 97th percentile. meanwhile my cousin is bottle fed so her baby constant 3 percentile until one year. so many factors to consider leh. but younger babies alot of poop and puke accidents so more new clothes the merrier! i preferred hand me downs after 3 months because less incidents haha so clothes are kinda spot free. if theres a lot of leftovers in good condition just pass them on to someone else who might benefit 😃
