For the Jewish company stretchies like lil leggs and bee and dee, would the 3 month size be appropriate for baby gift? Baby is a week old and almost 9 lbs.

Usually if baby had what to wear for first week, then you probably should go with 6 months for such a large baby. It may fit for 3 weeks. I was nervous to give a lil legs velour 3 months and baby was 7.5. Hoping she is enjoying and it will fit for 6 weeks.

I work in a store that sells lil legs.
The sizing is quite small, but if you need something that fits now, don't take more than 6 months. Even that is quite generous, but they're pretty fitted, so it wouldn't be baggy, even if it's big.

My babies were all >8 lb. I never bought anything smaller than 3-6 mo. And I bought regular brands, not frum ones.

Lil legs get 6 months.

Bee and Dee, if I remember correctly is mostly true to size. I think you can get a 3 month.

My baby was <8 lb.
I told everyone not to get newborn because he was so big.
Turns out all the 0-3 months were huge on him.
I took out the newborn stuff from my other child and he wore that for a solid month. He wore the 0-3 months until he was af least 3 months, some till 4.
Hes on the smaller side even if his birth weight was not.

But frum brands run small, I'm not referring to those.

he gained nice but was born 7.5 pounds. As others said you should size up because everything runs narrow. I took out a 9 month thing from my closet and it is right on him at 3 months!

Don't. six to nine months at least. Not only is this baby enormous for his age, but he'll grow fast. And people always give baby gifts in the smallest sizes; after a few weeks they're useless. better get a big size he won't outgrow overnight. I would get a 12-month size at the very least. When I had a baby a friend sent me an outfit in 3T. It looked huge to me, but boy did I appreciate that when my kid grew into it! I had shmillions of stretchies and adorable teeny tiny sweater sets but no "real clothes for real kids."

You want them to have it now now yes 3m is good for the first few weeks.
You want it for next month-6m.

Bee and Dee runs tiny and very narrow. A 3 month fit my 6lb baby for a very short time.
I always appreciated getting larger sized clothing as baby gifts. I have enough newborn clothing, it's nice to have something new for when baby is older.
