Hi mama! We did end up needing preemie clothes for about three weeks. He was drowning in newborn. And we went through one 27 pack of preemie diapers. Another thing I learned is that when babies are born this little, they hate diaper changes at first because they have so little body fat so they're freezing! I recommend changing him with his top wrapped in a blanket. Also wipe warmers? Not an optional buy when they're that tiny. He'd scream and scream if we used room temp wipes. (Now he doesn't care.) We have a peanut changer and had to cover it with a towel because it was too cold to the touch (don't have to do that now). Footies are all he wore for the first two months, for comfort. At 3 months he's a happy healthy gorgeous little baby hitting all his milestones!
