Choosing Between Newborn and 0–3 Months

Many parents ask whether to pack newborn or 0–3 months for the coming home outfit.

If your baby is average size (under 4 kg / 9 lb), newborn fits beautifully for the first weeks.

For bigger babies or cloth nappies, 0–3 months offers a little more room.

Aneby garments are cut with a relaxed, cloth-nappy-friendly fit so they last longer than standard high-street sizes.

Baby Boy Coming Home FAQs:

What should a baby wear when going home from the hospital?

A cotton bodysuit and sleepsuit are usually enough. Add a soft hat and blanket if it’s chilly, and remove layers once baby is buckled into the car seat for safety.

What should a newborn wear outside the hospital (NHS guidance)?

Dress your baby in one more layer than you would wear yourself. Choose organic cotton and layer up with a cardigan or light coat when the weather is cool. Avoid bulky snowsuits in the car seat. (NHS)

Should I get a newborn or 0–3 for a coming-home outfit?

Most babies fit best in newborn for their first week or two. If your baby is larger or you use cloth nappies, 0–3 months is a safe choice. Aneby fits run slightly roomy for longer wear.
