Sizing for baby and kids' clothing is confusing because babies grow at different rates — and brands don't always agree on what "6-12 months" actually means. Here's a practical breakdown to help you shop with more confidence.
0–6 months
At this stage, babies grow fast, so it's worth buying slightly ahead of their current size rather than exact-fit. Look for rompers and onesies with easy snap closures for quick diaper changes — our Dungaree Romper Set is designed exactly for this stage.
6–12 months
Babies become more mobile, so prioritize stretchy, breathable fabrics that move with them. Shortalls and two-piece sets work well since they're easy to layer.
1–2 years
Toddlers need room to crawl, walk, and play. This is a good stage to shift toward co-ord sets and dungarees that hold up to daily activity — like our Bear Patch Shortall Dungaree Set.
2–6 years
At this stage kids have more defined preferences, so dresses, co-ord sets, and printed tees become the norm. Sizing is more standardized here, but always check brand-specific size charts since fits vary.
Our tip
When between two sizes, size up — clothes that are slightly loose are more comfortable and last longer than tight ones. Check the specific size chart on each product page before ordering, since fits can vary by style.
