Baby Gap sizes?

I'm a FTM, I like the baby gap clothes and plan on ordering most of the baby's clothes from there.  I hear that baby gap tends to run big.  I was planning on ordering most of the clothes in 0-3 size, does this size fit an "average" sized newborn?  Or do you recommend I also get some "under 7lb." Baby Gap clothes?

What's your experience with Baby Gap?

most newbies aren't under 7ls, id get newborn sleepers elsewhere (carters is great for those) and then 0-3 at gap.  I don't agree their clothes run big, I think its very accurate sizing.  fyi, Gymboree def. runs big

Personally I think they run a little small/short. My 13.5 lb 24 inch long 2 month old is maxxed out in the 3-6 baby gap clothes.

don't order a ton of 0-3 in any brand....maybe a few just to get you through. 

you're LO will likely grow out of it quickly.

i'd wait and order more in bigger sizes like 3-6 or even 6-9 so they will enjoy it more. the first couple months they should just be comfy anyway - thye don't need jeans and outfits

carters has GREAT sleepers - and probably half the price than GAP

My daughter was 7 pounds 12 oz at birth and was swimming in the gap newborn clothes, she's now almost 12 pound and she can still fit in a couple thing though probably not for much longer

I had/have a big baby and he is still fitting into some of his newborn baby gap stuff at 2 months. He's almost 11 pounds.

I found the pants are really long and the onesies are big too. He's fitting into 03 month in all other brands, Carter's 3 month fits absolutely perfectly.

So yeah Babygap runs a bit bigger. His NB stuff from there says it goes up to 7 pounds but its just now fitting him perfectly.

My daughter is just over 8lbs at 1 month old and still fits in Gap newborn, so I'd say it definitely runs big.
