You've heard the news: a baby is on the way. You want to give something special — but then, what size should you buy? Size 50? 56? And will it still fit when the gift arrives?
In this guide, you'll learn exactly which size to choose and why personalized baby clothing from Eigen Afdruk always works out well.
Why choosing the right size for baby clothes is tricky
Newborns grow rapidly. In the first three months, a baby can grow up to ten centimeters. Size 50 is often too small after just four to six weeks.
Standard baby sizes at a glance
| Size | Age | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Newborn | ±50 cm |
| 56 | 1–3 months | ±56 cm |
| 62 | 3–6 months | ±62 cm |
| 68 | 6–9 months | ±68 cm |
| 74 | 9–12 months | ±74 cm |
Which size is best for a baby shower gift?
Our advice: choose size 62 or 68 if you don't know the birth weight. A slightly larger size provides more wear and will be used longer.
A tip few people know
Do you still want to give a smaller size? Combine size 50 or 56 with something for later — or choose a personalized set in a larger size.
Why personalized baby clothing is an extra smart gift
Parents often keep personalized clothing longer. Their child's name on a piece of clothing makes it personal — even if the baby has already outgrown the clothing.
