Is it normal for my 3 month old to still be wearing newborn clothes/diapers?

Answer 1

What was your baby premature? What was their birth weight? Is your baby gaining weight? You have to ask yourself these questions before anything.

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

It depends on size of child and clothes

Answer 4

Is your 3 month old gaining weight adequately? Was the baby premature at birth? Did the baby have a low birth weight at birth? Is one of or both of you very tall and baby is long length wise? Are you formula or breast feeding? All of these and many other things can have an effect on the normal growth and development of a newborn. What does your pediatrician say? If they don't seem concerned, then I wouldn't worry. Some babies just don't gain a ton of weight very quickly. If you have concerns of any kind, contact the Ped, that's what they're there for.

Answer 5

It depends if baby is small and clothing for his/her age is too big then yes it is ok. But please contact a pediatrician as if your baby is extremity small or underweight. There could be a development/health issue.

Answer 6

Yes it is

Answer 7

Call the pediatrician about this. Baby should have regular check-up so you should be able to ask your doctor this even with an exam.

I know of one baby who did not grow as quickly as one would expect. This baby was restricted in the amount of formula given. Whereas most pediatricians suggest feeding a baby as much and as often as they need and ask for, the mother restricted the formula to a certain amount.

If you are restricting the amount of formula to the baby then you need to change this and give the baby as much as she will eat each time. You could also check with the pediatrician to be sure the formula you are offering is the proper quality. If your baby has diarrhea then the baby may not be absorbing nutrients properly.

So as you see and as another person suggested this is a good question for the doctor.

The baby who was relatively small as an infant is a normal sized child, but only the doctor can tell you if your baby is growing properly and enjoying good health.

Answer 8

This is a great question for the doctor.

Based on everyone I know with babies and my own children, I have only known of two that were still in newborn size at three months but that is because they were premature births.

Answer 10

Are you getting your baby checked regularly? This is a question you should be asking the nurse.
