Mum amazed after realising she’s got baby clothes sizing ‘wrong’ all this time

2023-04-07

A mum has left other parents baffled after realising she has been misunderstanding the sizing of baby clothes.

Rachael Woolsey shared a video of herself holding her baby's clothes where she demanded to know if she was the only one who had the sizing wrong.

The mum-of-two claims she assumed her 5-month-old was just a "big boy" before finding out that the sizing apparently doesn't go by the age of the baby.

In a video, which has gained more than 582,000 likes, she said: "I always thought I had the biggest babies because they were always in the size up above what they should have been in.

"No, no – I had the sizing wrong the whole time.

"If something says six months, it doesn't mean you start putting them in it at six months. It means you have up to six months of them fitting in it.

"Like what? How did I not know this?

"I'm over here like 'dang, we got a big boy. We got a future athlete in our hands'. No, we got an average boy with a stupid mom."

She then posted the video online hoping that other mums had made the same mistake so that she wouldn't "feel so dumb."

TikTok viewers were left stunned at her claims as they didn't know either.

One user said: "Glad I'm seeing this before I have my daughter."

A second wrote: "I don't think that's what it is."

A third commented: "My kiddos started wearing that size after they hit that age so I think it's an estimate."

However, the parenting website What To Expect say that "baby clothes are typically sized by age, so you'd think you would just buy pieces that correspond to your baby's age and that would be it.

"Unfortunately, that's not always how it works. Like adults, infants come in all shapes and sizes and different brands of baby clothes are not consistently sized the same way."
