Baby clothes size chart

 
Buying babies clothes to fit can be a bit of a mind field! Each brand and each country seems to have its own manufacturing guidelines which are not always converted into NZ sizes. A variation in styles and personal preferences also means that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all!

Each brand and each country seems to have its own manufacturing guidelines which are not always converted into NZ sizes.

A variation in styles and personal preferences also means that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all!

Perhaps the best indicator to help buy the correct size clothing is to go on your baby’s height, rather than their weight or age.

If in doubt, it’s always best to go a size bigger than you think you need. Babies grow fast!

Use our baby clothing size chart to help you buy the right sized clothes for your little ones, especially when you're buying online or from overseas.

Wool in the history of baby clothing

Wool in the history of baby clothing

Wool is a huge part of our New Zealand heritage. Sheep farming was once the back-bone of New Zealand’s economy and wool was well known to be the best fibre to keep our babies warm. Mothers all knew how to knit and wool was endorsed as a ‘must have’ for clothing.
