Newborn Size Guide

Children grow quickly – and each brand sews a little differently. To ensure you choose the right size when shopping, we have summarized what matters most: from the correct measuring method to the specifics of individual brands.

How to find the right size

Practical tips for stress-free shopping – no matter the brand.

1

Use size charts

Almost every manufacturer offers a size chart online. Measure your child (height, chest circumference, waist circumference, inseam) and compare the values with the chart. Especially for French brands, sizes are often given in months, so a close look is particularly worthwhile here.

2

Listen to experience

Find out about specific brands in parent forums or from friends. Often, other parents have already reported which brands run larger or smaller. Rules of thumb like "H&M runs large, C&A rather small" help with the assessment.

3

Order one size up if unsure

When in doubt, it's worth ordering one size larger. If it's too big, your child will still grow into it, and you'll get an impression of the product and can reorder the smaller size if necessary.

4

Note double sizes

Brands with dual sizes (e.g., 98/104) are based on the larger number. If your child is at the beginning of a dual size interval, the garment will initially fit loosely – this is normal as children grow into it.

5

Know the child's fit type

Observe which cuts fit your child well. Slim torso, but long legs? Then you know which brands might be more problematic. Sturdy children often feel more comfortable in wider-cut brands, while very slender children get along well with narrower cuts.

6

Watch out for growth spurts in babies

Babies grow in spurts. What fits today may be too small in a month. Feel free to buy slightly larger sizes – except for clothing for special occasions, which should fit exactly.
