I would buy a few newborn ones just in case. I brought newborn and 0-3 with me to the hospital just in case. Baby was 8 lbs but fit in newborn until he was about 4 weeks old.

Answer

I was told my son was going to weigh around 4lb 15oz as had problems gaining his weight. I brought and packed all preemie/tiny baby clothes. He was pulled weighing 6lbs 11.5oz !! And they didnt fit!! Had to send my partner to get bigger clothing! I would pack some of each to be safe. I dont go on weight scans at all not accurate by far for me !!

Answer

Newborn, but for a very short time. Both of my babies so far were in newborn for less than 2 weeks.

Answer

I bought just a handful of n's. Baby will lose weight initially. Mine wore n for 3 weeks or so. I really liked the side snap kimono shirts for the n's, carter's sells a pack of 4. That should be sufficient.
