Help with baby clothes

[davieb]

Hi all 

As you may know my daughter is expecting her first baby 

Now the bad news 
She is having all sorts of problems due to her type 1 diabetes and having Lupus SLE
Due to the complications she has been told today they would like to deliver him at 30 weeks 

My question is
Where do I get clothes for a baby of that size 
I have tried Google, etc and I am now even more confused than when I started 
Can anyone shed some light on the subject and recommend a good source of premature baby clothes

Panic not. When my twins were born prem at 32  weeks they weighed in at 3lb 10 and 3lb 6 - tiny things. With their head in my hand their feet barely reached half way along my arm. Needless to say they were in the Special Care Baby unit for those few few weeks and clothes were the least of our worries as I suspect your's will be.

Hopefully you will find, as I did, plenty of others around who have had similar experiences and so will be able to offer advice etc. However remember babies grow fast and those early clothes aren't needed for long so don't overspend too soon - leave that to the grand parents and friends  .

Believe you me, as most parents will tell you - they don't get any cheaper as life goes on.

Wishing you all the best

Dave....you could ask Mick (Newport Nobby ) to get his knitting needles out.
He's been talking about taking it up for ages now.....

I wouldn't, he has been practising on the cat

Can you not wait until the baby has arrived?  Make sure they have some sleepsuits, but I wouldn't buy anything until you know what they weigh.

Yes, Dinna worry about stuff 'til it happens.

Thanks for all the comments 

I am not going to get anything yet
But I like to have all bases covered so I know where I can get things
without rushing round in a blind panic when he arrives

Things happen and you will cope.

Don't look to me for knitting
I tried to knit some fog yesterday - what a job that turned out to be
