Tall babies! what size does you baby boy wears at 7 months?

My husband, his side of the family and my side are very tall people. 6'4" and above. I'm wondering how tall will my baby boy be at 7 months of age. He's only 4 months and already wears 6-9 pants, 6-12 tops, #3 shoes. He's 27" tall and 16 lbs at the moment. If your family is as tall as mine will you tell me how told is/was your baby at 7 months? ( I know that all babies are different, I'm just trying to get an idea as I'm buying him some clothing for this spring/summer).

Tall babies! what size does you baby boy wears at 7 months?
My daughter was nearly 27" and over 16 lbs at 4 month appt. (I am 5'11")





She is in #3 shoes, and either 6-9 or 12 mo clothes.





Carter's is best for size.





Gerber clothes suck!...I bought some 12mo onesies and too small! She is 5 mo!!





I would get 18 months for summer....too big isn't bad...





Isn't it sad to see them grow so fast???
Reply:Well at birth he wore premmie clothes...6 lbs 1 oz 19 inches...








at 2 months he was in 3-6 month clothes at about 4 months he was in 6-9 month pants and shirts...but at 6 months he was in 12 month shirts and some 6-9 and 12 month pants...he has the length..just not the waist...He is now 11 months old and still wearing 9-12 month pants...but all 12 month shirts...He is about 24-25 lbs and about 30-31 inches...give or take a lil bit...He has a small waist line like I do...but he has his daddy's height and weight...So we will see how things go...





Oh and shoe size is now a size 4 and its a nike..so you can compare brands...





I agree with the other poster...the clothes depend on the brand..like dollar store brands..run smaller...like I have 1 18 month outfit that fits my son perfect..and at 6 months old he was in a full 12 month outfit...





Oh and another thing..He is also in all 12 month jammies from wal-mart...he is too tall for the sleepers..so we moved him to big boy clothes..he no longer wears onsies..it makes his belly hang over his pants and leave mark...
Reply:well if he is 6-9 months now i would figure 9-12 months, but remember when you buy shorts and sets they will be a little bigger than the size. my 9 month old sun wore 0-3 shorts for a while but still wore a 6-9 top. tops i would buy 18 months if he is already in 12 months. good luck.
Reply:That sounds just like my daughter she is 9 months old and is in 2t shirts and 18 month pants. She is 25 lbs and 30 inches long. At 7 months she was around 28 inches and in 18 months clothes. She still wears a 3 wide shoe. At 3 months she was in 6-9 month clothes. She is very tall and wide
Reply:my fiance's side of the family is stalky %26amp; tall %26amp; my side is just tall .. so who knows how tall he'll be!





but right now at 7 months, my son is in 6mnth pants, 6-9mnth %26amp; 12mnth shirts, size 3 shoes (just a thought to throw out there, i've read that it isnt good to put a baby in shoes at such a young age, because they are growing constantly %26amp; when they have shoes on its prohibits growth, socks are a better choice at this age! but i still put my son in shoes for special occations or if they go with a certain outfit!), we to are getting ready to do spring/summer shopping %26amp; we're going to buy mostly 12mnths, just enough to get him started, because im sure he'll grow like a weed!!





as for your son, i'd probably get just 6-9 %26amp; 12mnths for the spring, and wait on the summer, babies change and grow so much its hard to tell!
Reply:I think, if there isn't one already, there should be a speciality shop for children who wear different sizes. I have a 17 yo son whose waist is still 30" but is almost 6' tall. For most of his life, his britches have fallen off, and his little arms have looked like scarecrows. Now that he's half grown, I have Lands End make them special for him. I wonder if they do that for babies...

Reply:my daughter is tall too, she was in newborn clothes only for 2 weeks. then she jumped to 0-3 til one month old. then 3-6 til 3 1/2 months and ever since she's been jumping one size larger. now she's 6 mnths and she's in mostly 9 months clothes butshe fits in a few 12 month clothes too. when i buy her summer clothes they'll probably be 12-18 months
Reply:I've heard around twice the age they are. so instead of 6 month, 12 month, instead of 9 month 18 month, and so on.
Reply:12 months or 18 months





My daughter still is like that


She was out of 6-9 by five months


Around 7 she was around 18 months


My daughter had very long legs


She was able to fit 12 months on shorts sets


Does your son have a long body? Long legs? Both





I could use a smaller size in the summer, because of shorts


Her legs were long.
Reply:I am short but have a tall gene in the family. My boy just turned 8 months and he wears 12-18 months clothes and they just fit him right. If I were you, I wouldn't prebuy and just go as he goes. I had to learn the hard way.
Reply:My little girl is about 20 pounds and about 28 inches at 7 months and jsut starting to get into 18 month clothing. It is a little big, but the 12 month is getting small. Remember, it all depends on brand too. She can wear carters' 6-9 onesies, they're pretty stretched but we have so many in that size!
Reply:I agree 100% with Ja!


My Son is 5months and both sides of my family is short but, Noah "my son" is a little over 28inches long, %26amp; he is 20.8lbs. and that was from the going to the dr the 13th of this month.


He wears 9-12month pants, 12-18month tops/onesies, %26amp; wears toddler tobogans. Hes wearing 24month rompers right now...ehh.. He also cant fit into any baby shoes anymore we are now looking for a toddler shoe that is soft and light weight.


I wouldnt pre-buy anything. It seems to me that your son is about on the same track mine is. My Sisters baby is now 5 but my son is going through the same thing her baby did. He was an extra big baby, and is still taller and skinnier for now.





We aren't Pre-buying anything we are just buying as time goes by he is already starting to grow out of his 12month onesies so, I'm going to be sad when he grows out of the 24month onesies I got him =(


It sucks not being able to pre-buy for spring and summer because all the sales that go on and stuff. But, I just have no idea what to expect so, I guess for now we will just have to wait and see with both our babies =)


Good Luck!
