Baby Girls' Bodysuits and Vests
Baby girl vests are the first layer of almost every outfit in the first two years. A vest that fastens under the nappy stays tucked in, so her tummy and back stay covered when she is lifted, rolled or strapped into a car seat. Worn on its own it suits a warm day at home, and under a dress, romper or baby grow it adds a layer on cooler days.
Baby vests and bodysuits are the same garment in the UK: a top that fastens between the legs. Baby girl bodysuits can go under a dress or pinafore, or on their own with leggings once she is sitting up. Long sleeves add warmth under a cardigan on colder days. Wash them before the first wear and fasten them closed in the machine so they keep their shape.

Most newborns get through seven to ten vests a week, as milk and nappy leaks mean one or two extra changes a day. Buy a few in 56 cm and move to 62 cm for 0-3 months.
What size baby girl bodysuits with long sleeves fit at 9 months?
A 9-month-old usually takes 80 cm in baby girl bodysuits with long sleeves. If she is long for her age, go up one to 86 cm, which still stays tucked in.
