My daughter fit NB till she was 2&1/2 months. I had to go buy more NB stuff bc the smallest I had was 0-3. Everyone told me don't buy NB n I had to. Its ashame bc a lot of 0-3 stuff I had I gave away bc it was summer clothes (she was born june26) n by the time it fit her it wasn't warm enough. She's 6 months now n wears alotta 3-6 still. I buy 6-9 now but her 3-6 still fit. My babies petite lol with a Pooh belly. So definitely buy atleast SOME NB stuff

Go for mostly 0-3, I always bought 1 or 2 nb sizes. That way if you do pictures in the hospital you are guaranteed to have an outfit that fits the baby perfectly.

I'd buy a few newborns, and 0-3. Your baby will definitely fit 0-3, my daughter was born last week 8lbs 12ozs and she didn't fit newborns, so she went right to 0-3 and fits them comfortably. Most newborns swim in 0-3 though, so definitely get that size.

Well when your 30 weeks ask your dr what size he thinks the baby will? With my son the dr was right he was about 7 pounds my son was just a few oz. Away from 7 pounds so. Just ask.

I had tons of nb clothes that was a big mistake he was only in them for 3weeks tops i ended up having to go shopping again to get lots of 0-3 month clothing. Doc was saying he was only pose to b 5lbs but he came out 8lbs. so i wouldn't go crazy with nb sizes

You can always buy a few newborn things and keep the tag on and return if baby is too big.  You deff need to get some 0-3 months though.
