Frequently Asked Questions.

It depends on your baby’s weight. As a rough guide:

• 1–3lb, Micro Premature
• 3–5lb, Premature
• 5–8lb, Tiny Baby
• 8lb+, Newborn (standard high street sizing)

Most high street shops start at newborn (7–10lb), which is why so many parents find everything too big. We stock all sizes from 1lb.

Tiny baby clothing fits babies weighing approximately 5–8lb. It’s the size that falls between premature and newborn, and the one most high street shops skip entirely. If your baby has come home but standard newborn clothes are still swamping them, our tiny baby range is where to look.

Our Special Care/Incubator (SCBU) range is designed specifically for babies in neonatal units. Everything in it has easy access for tubes, wires and monitoring equipment, and is made from soft fabrics that won’t irritate delicate skin. Our micro premature range (1–3lb) is also worth looking at for the tiniest babies.

Go by your baby’s current weight, not their due date or age. If your baby is between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up, premature babies grow quickly. Use the table below as a guide:

Yes, personalisation is one of our most popular options. We offer personalised vests and sleepsuits in sizes from 1lb, all made and printed in the UK. You can browse the full range here:

Personalised and made-to-order items are made in-house by Lyndsay and take 2–3 working days to complete. Delivery timescales start from the day your order is completed, not the day you place it.

For example: an order placed at 10am on Monday will be completed by Thursday morning at the latest and dispatched the same day, meaning you’d receive it Friday with Special Delivery, or within a few days with standard tracked delivery.

Personalised items are made specifically for you, so we’re unable to accept returns unless the item is faulty or we’ve made an error. Please double-check names and spelling before placing your order.

In-stock and non-personalised items:

• Orders received before 11am Monday–Friday are dispatched the same day
• Orders received after 11am, or on Saturday, Sunday or a bank holiday, are dispatched the next working day

Personalised and made-to-order items:

• Please allow 2–3 working days for your order to be made before it is dispatched
• Delivery timescales begin from the date your order is completed, not the date you order

For Special Delivery on personalised items, your order must be received before 11am Monday–Thursday to guarantee next-day delivery after completion.

Royal Mail will email and/or text you your tracking number once your order is dispatched. You can then track your parcel via Royal Mail Tracking.

Currently we ship to UK addresses only.

All orders are packed in eco-friendly materials, recycled cardboard boxes or sustainable sugarcane mailing bags, with a biodegradable compostable inner bag for extra protection. No plastic.

Bank holidays and the festive season can cause delays with Royal Mail. We’ll update the homepage if there are any delivery delays you need to know about. Please allow extra time during busy periods.

We accept returns on unworn, unwashed items with tags attached within 30 days of delivery. Personalised items cannot be returned unless faulty. You can read our full returns and refund policy here.

We’re sorry to hear that. Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and a photo of the item and we’ll sort it out straight away.
