| I sew and am a little confused. Kyra weighs in at 2.8 and a xs is almost to small. Laddy at 4.8 wears a small. If your baby is almost 5 lbs it really shouldn't be a problem. Could you maybe measure her length and girth and weigh her to give us an idea?

| Me too. Mikki is almost five pounds and xs or small works perfect for her. Depends on the clothes.

I guess because she is long she is thin, and I'm sure the clothes maker as well as the style of clothing has much to do with it. | |

YT 500 Club Member | I really dont know how much she weights she has only been weight once and that is when she was 3 months. But an xs is to big she just walks right out of the cloths also her harnest. I tried an xxs which fit but I had to wash it so it would shrink some. |

| that ETSY site has some good stuff, but Aymee aka Southern Bell is even less expensive and she does nice work. Towel Pajamas by Pupperwear on Etsy check out that link to her towel PJ's I might get those for next summer when we go to the dock diving competitions it would be great for Lola to wear in between heats. That ladies' dogs crack me up, look at the expression of the pair dressed in the towel PJ's LOL I would sure like to know what they are thinking

| I did a search on XXXS and found a few sources. The softer t-shirt types of fabrics tend to run a little smaller (or snuggle up to her better). Khalessi was 6 oz. at 7 weeks old, so I feel your pain. Almost nothing fit her, but it wasn't really cold yet and she wasn't allowed to run free around the house, so clothing wasn't critical. |
