Greetings wonderful parents & guardians of yahoo answers! I come to you for I have embarked on a quest I’m attempting to draft a new pattern for baby clothing that is adjustable (therby lasting more than a few months because baby clothing can get expensive after awhile, lol) and need a bit of help on measurements.

At this time I’m doing pants and I need measurements for babies aged preemie-12 months. If you could kindly state the age of your baby (and let me know if he/she is a preemie at this time and how many weeks premature if so) and then take the following measurements in either centimeters or inches:
Waist (all the way around)-
Waist to ankle (with leg straight)-
Ankle (all the way around)-

Example Answer (from my daughter): 1 Month, Waist-15 inches, Waist to ankle-8 inches, Ankle-4 inches

Thank you sew very much!
Christy

7 weeks, born 2 weeks before expected date, considered full term.
Waist – 14 inches
Waist to ankle – 10 inches
Ankle – 5 inches

help me please! x

I realize that you are excited. However, it really is best to wait to buy these things. You should save this fun for when you are pregnant. If it takes a while to conceive, it is going to be upsetting for you to have these items in your house. It is also best to wait until after your first trimester when you are pregnant, to start buying things. After the first trimester, the rate of miscarriage decreases. People don’t really talk about it but miscarriages are very common. Regardless of how common they are, it is extremely upsetting to have a miscarriage. Having lots of baby things around would just make you feel worse. This is why baby showers do not take place until the last two months of pregnancy. This is also why in the Jewish culture, there is no baby shower or baby gifts until after the baby is born.

Save your buying and the joy of preparing for a baby when you are definitely having one. You can look at things and dream about the future. Just wait until its a reality before you start acting. You will protect yourself this way just in case things don’t go perfect.
