Baby gap

I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with the newborn sizes there the tag says up to 7 lbs is that a true size.  I'm not sure if I should bother buying newborn since my babies are usually 8 pounders, but I do remember 0 to 3 being too big for a newborn.

I went to Baby Gap in the mall the other day and thought the newborn size was pretty roomy but I guess it depends on the length too. Our DS was 20' and 7.7 at birth and wore preemie, he swam in even newborn clothing. I remember thinking he could have worn the up to 7lbs stuff (this was at a few weeks old) but that the items that had closed feet may have been too short. 

The best option for newborns I've found is  regular Carter's or Just one year by Carter's from Target are pretty true to size.

Well my baby was 8 pounds when she was born. She is 12 pounds now and in the 90th percentile for height and she has just now outgrown all of her newborn clothes. (She is a little over 10 weeks) Newborn should fit.

At almost 2 months DD still fits into newborn gap, 0-3 is a little big on her. She can't fit nb in other sizes if the have feet because she is too long. My guess is she is over 10lbs and 23 in.

My baby fit in his newborn-3 sized Gap clothes until 11 ish pounds.  That's with cloth diapers which are a bit bulkier.

 

Every other "newborn" brand he was out of around 8lbs.  Now, I don't know if Gap has just newborn sized, but all of mine say newborn to 3 months or something like that.  They were actually too big on him at first when he was in the 6lbs range.

My DS was 8lbs when he was born and that is the size he wore home.
