Our great niece has arrived!

Our much awaited and longed for great niece arrived at 12.22 this morning, 6 weeks early, she is in scbu but is doing well, she has been breathing by herself since born. This is the first little girl in our family since her Mam was born 21 years ago so we are thrilled. Does anyone know the best place to get tiny clothes? She is 5 pound. :j

    How nice for you, what a beautiful baby she is too.
    Mothercare do Prem baby clothes and I am almost sure you can get them in most of the department stores nowadays.

    Congratulations, she is beautiful :j

    As renegade said most places do prem/early baby clothes now, including mothercare and I think matalan.

  • Look at all that hair! How sweet she is.

    No sensible advice about tiny baby-clothes. One of my nieces was tiny as well and the sight of the empty babygro legs was a heartbreaker.

    What a gorgeous gift! Hope she's out of SCBU as soon as is medically possible.

    Congratulations.

    Ive seen small baby clothes pretty much anytime Ive been shopping for things for my niece just alongside the other baby clothes, Ive definitely seen small sizes in Debenhams, Next etc. It wont be hard to find. 5lb isnt too tiny, so I would guess it wont be too long until shes in newborn size! I know it wasnt for my friends baby who was about that size.
  • Congratulations, what a cutie. Makes me broody:eek::eek:
    Anyway..... Remember to save all these tiny clothes, for her future dolls, prem size fit well on baby Annabelle etc
