I wanna find padded outdoor suits for premature babies

moneysaves_2

My daughter gave birth to her twin boys last Tuesday
At the moment they only weigh 4.85 lb and 4.91 lb
She has coats and padded outdoor suits size 0-3 months for them but they are far too big.
I would appreciate it if anybody knows where we can find some to fit tiny babies

I think Mothercare sell a good range of prem baby clothes.

Congratulations to your daughter ( and you of course!)

Can I suggest that you ask on www.freecycle.org in your area. You can join (free) and the post up a want. If anyone replies, then you can go round and collect, and it is free!

My baby was 5lb 11oz born, and the places i found good small baby clothes were Tesco, Asda, and Primark. Try those.
Also, a bit of a shot in the dark, but has she thought of asking the hospital?

Have you tried www.earlybaby.co.uk

Not tried them myself but they offer free P&P. To look for the item you need you will need to enter "snowsuit" in the search box, I couldn't find any unless I did this.

Good luck and congratulations

I have been a nanny for many years and am now a mum myself. It depends how much spare cash you have, but can I suggest that she uses many layers and finishes off with a blanket to keep the babies warm? It will be warm here soon and the babies will grow out of their snowsuits very fast. Good luck to you all. x

I agree with these shops. Also Next is really good.

hi, both my girls only weighed just over 5lb born and I found Tesco, Asda, Boots and Adams all good sources of tiny baby clothes. HTH

Thank you all for your help. Yes they are gorgeous & so tiny, yet still perfect.
I am on my way out to look now, i'll let you know if i find anything.
Just got my son to take hats & mittens i've knitted to her.

hello again. I tried to find these suits today, we went to bury market and adams, then to manchester to bhs, primark, next, disney store, marks & spencers and boots. then to tesco
everywhere seems to have summer stock in.
My daughter bought 2 suits at christmas in size 0 - 3 months and they are far too big.
If anybody sees any in manchester area can they please let me know.
the babies only measure 35cm from shoulder to foot and 9 cm from armpit to wrist

I agree, wrap them in layers and a shawl and save your money for lovely summer clothes when they are bigger.
