Where to Buy Preemie Clothes

Few, if any, people plan to have a preemie.  So when you birth your miracle baby where do you buy her clothes?  I was quite shocked at how hard they were to find in stores.  And the stores I found them in were sometimes just as shocking.  Most of Princess's preemie clothes came from Walmart and Target.  Walmart carries Carter's and their brand Child of Mine.  Target carries Carter's and their brand Precious Ones.  Carter's stores also have a good selection of preemie clothes but at the time I just never made it to an actual Carter's store.  I later found out Burlington Coat Factory also sells preemie clothes.  Oddly, Babies R Us had hardly any preemie clothes. Even odder, what I did find there was mostly boys.  So disappointing!! Additionally, a relative also found Princess preemie clothes at Gymboree.  My mom would buy Princess preemie outfits online from sites specializing in preemies, however most of them tended to be much larger than her other preemie clothes.  I would say most of those outfits were actually newborn sized, not preemie.   However, if you have a micro preemie none of the clothes you will find in the store will fit them until they are at least 3 lbs.  For those extra tiny miracles I would suggest going online and searching specifically for micro preemie clothes.  Happy shopping mommies!!
