What size does 00000 fit?
Size 00000 clothing is designed to fit small or premature babies weighing about 2kg, and measuring less than 55cm in length.
How do you wash preemie clothes?
You should always wash baby clothes before your little one gets to wear them – to ensure they’re as clean as possible. Use a gentle or cool wash cycle to avoid damaging the clothes, and use a laundry bag to avoid particularly small items like socks getting lost inside the machine. Softener isn’t required, but you should use a gentle, unscented detergent (or only very lightly scented) to avoid irritating your baby’s skin.
To make sure your preemie clothes last as long as possible, check the specific washing instructions on the garment label.
What clothes do you need for a newborn?
Your newborn’s wardrobe can be fairly basic at first. We’d recommend stocking up on singlets (especially singlet suits that won’t ride up!), onesies and growsuits, sleep bags, wraps, socks and hats. For more detail, read up on the best newborn essentials.
