Mum 'feels stupid' after realising she's been reading baby clothing sizes wrong
Parents have been stunned after a mum revealed baby sizes might not mean what you expect.
The puzzled mum claimed she'd been interpreting sizes wrong - thinking the number on the label corresponds to your baby's size. When in fact, she says this signifies how long the clothing ought to last, or how many months you can expect it to fit your youngster.
Sharing her findings on TikTok as @rachaelwoolsey, mum Rachael explained: "I always thought I had the biggest babies because they were always in the size up above of what they should have been in. No, I had the sizing wrong the whole time.
The mum shocked fellow parents when she shared her revelation (stock photo) (Getty Images/iStockphoto)"If something says six months, it doesn't mean you start putting them in it at six months. It means you have up to six months of them fitting in it."
She jokingly added: "I'm over here like we got a big boy, we got a future athlete in our hands. No, we got an average boy with a stupid mum."

However, not everyone was convinced. Some parents suggested the sizing runs as you'd expect in the stores they shop in, but others backed up the mum.
"I don't think that's what it means," one person thought. A second asked: "Is this real?"
But someone replied: "I didn't learn this until my 3rd child.. lol don't worry momma, you're not alone."
Another wrote: "I spit my coffee out at the ending. I didn't know this either and also thought I had a big boy."
A different commenter added: "I didn't know this either until my friend explained it to me one day."
Meanwhile, someone said: "My kiddos always started wearing the size after they hit that age. So I think it is an estimate."
The mum agreed, writing: "Def an estimate, every baby is different!"
