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 😃
