I normally do not buy New Born sizes because they are out grown so quickly. However this is our last grandchild and I just could not resist. I am so glad I did as this baby has has to make repeated trips back to the hospital and Pediatrician's office. She was a little over 8 pounds but immediately lost down to little over seven pounds. The gowns fit well, are of a soft high quality cotton and are perfect for her size. It is always nice to have something that fits right away and it is usually only grandparents who can afford to buy these tiny clothes<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Gerber-Baby-Girls-Newborn-2-Pack-Lap-Shoulder-Gown/dp/B007C2IS9Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Gerber Baby-Girls Newborn 2 Pack Lap Shoulder Gown</a>.  I am so glad we did.
