I have been on the hunt for long sleeved baby vests! Penneys sold them all off last week 3 for €2 only managed to get one packet
just back from tesco the have reduced all long sleeved vests 5 for €1.75!!! There are two styles that aren't reduced "Winnie the poo" and "pirate" designs! (They are marked €7 but scan in at €1.75). I also got dribble bibs 2 for 50c. Dunnes are discontinuing them for the summer and told me they are not reducing long sleeved vests. 0 -

Have you tried Heatons? I haven't bought them in a while but they seemed to have them all year round last year, I may be wrong though
Edit: sorry, I misread, you got them in tesco after!0 -

Do you mean Next will be hard to get into in the morning or the actual Dundrum complex? I'm there the whole time and Dundrum is a nightmare at the weekends... However, if you go early in the morning it's actually grand until around 12ish... Then the complex starts to get really busy.
Mum bought my little fella a load of lovely jeans and jumpers in Next only a few days ago. Was so thoughtful of her and he looks sooo cute in his new jeans... Now I just feel bad if it all gonna be half price.
The next sale not Dundrum lol! The queues for the next sale are insane for the st Stephens day sale. It is bedlam. Some people bring buggies to use and fill them with clothes! But next go mad as there is no space and were making people leave them outside! I never got up early for this one before though so maybe it's grand at 7am. I have been warned my next staff that the sizes I want 12-18 and 18-24 fly out so need to go at 7. I actually considered doing the Stephens day one when I was 9 months pregnant but my family wouldn't let me and told me I would end up going into labour lol lol! When I used to go for my sis it was like a military operation when we split up one in girls one in boys it was like the scene from friends when Monica was buying the wedding dress (we didn't have whistles though!) people killing each other for sizes .
Don't feel bad about your mum because if they are big sizes you mightn't get them in the sale. I have a ton of stuff here in 3-6 and 6-9 that he just got last week a good €100-€150 worth which no doubt will be reduced.0 -

I went to the Next sale in Sligo at 6am Stephens Day when I was 39 weeks pregnant, I thought fellow shoppers might go easy on me with the big fat bump, no such luck!
It was crazy!
I thought I got great value on some babygros, at the time. But they were the ones that don't button down the front - something that wouldn't have even occurred to me to notice at the time, before the baby arrived - and I ended up barely ever using them, they were a funny fit anyways.
I did get a very decent set of bedcovers for around €30.0 -

Someone gave me a very pretty 0-3 month babygro that buttoned down the back! I never even put it on her. Whoever designed that was a good idea has clearly never dressed a new baby. It's like trying to put a jumper on a salmon....or maybe that was just my wriggler
The ones that go over the head aren't ideal either, I used completely avoid them but I got a couple in twin packs recently and find them grand after the initial over the head moment. Still prefer the traditional button down style though. Must try and get into Next so. I like the length of the babygros for my leggy miss. 0 -

Omg I wanted to go to it in Dundrum but my family wouldn't let me as they said it could send me into early labour lol lol I wouldn't bother with their babygrows, mine are dunnes, penneys and tesco and we have grosuits too. He has m & s ones in 3-6 months and they look longer than dunnes ones.0 -

Size wise I find penneys run smallest, followed by dunnes then tesco and next. I got a mix of penneys and tesco so she has some growing room. I like the next baby grows but can't justify the price. My sister was working there over Xmas and used her staff discount which was great. She said on Stephens day the queue went out of jervis st centre and all up Mary st! Madness I want no part in I have to say!
It's insane alright! My 8 week old is in 3-6 months he is so long there isn't any more length in them! You should keep an eye in m + s sale I got a pack of 2 babygrows for €5 at Xmas they are towelling with turn down sleeves for mittens. Looking at the clothes hanging in his wardrobe even m + s outfits are much longer they have a sale on at the mo (not great I like at least 50% off) but if you use the code MNSIE you will get 10% first online order. 0 -

Millem you're a great one for the bargains :-) please never leave boards :-) lol
Thanks lol well I am just back from next trying to exchange baby clothes into bigger sizes. Went in and couldn't find any of the dungarees (even though they were there last week!) so went to the desk the girl tells me they are in the store room "because they moved around stock!" Yeah right they are going into the sale! Anyway they didn't have the size so they put the money on a gift card. I still have another three things to change. Everything they have in next now are short sleeved so defo all the long sleeved stuff will be in sale.
Also was in m and s they still have loads and loads in sale so I defo think further reductions will be happening soon
Also went for a nose in tesco and literally all the long sleeved vests are gone now only empty rails!0 -

one thing I like about the dunnes babygrows is that they have those little fold down mitten sleeves. Wish I knew about them when they were a few weeks old, much easier than mittens. My two scratch themselves but I can't put mittens on them or they can't keep hold of their doodies. Don't fancy waking every few mins to stick the mute button back in! Lol I'll just have to make sure I keep their nails short!0 -

Millem let us know how u got on in the sale.
No prob but it isn't till next Saturday the 22nd I am only going to queue from 6.30! I don't know whether to return the other things and ask for store credit but afraid that won't get sizes in sale and I don't want their new stuff with short sleeves. I would exchange for old stock now but I can't see what they have because it's in the store room (clearly getting marked down!). I Defo Defo have to bring back 2 pairs for jeans and dungarees as they are doubles! But don't know about other 2 outfits hmmmm! It's very annoying that Dundrum took away stuff so early in the sale I am on the lookout for 12-18 months and 18-24 months. 0 -

Yeah it's so funny, it's the first thing I check now whenever I buy babygros, but it's something I'd never have thought to check for when buying them as presents for people in the past, before I had a kid! He rarely scratches himself, but they are so handy for when he does, I don't like to leave him down with scratch mittens on just in case.
I absolutely love the Boots babygros, they have scratch-mitts, they're not all that cheap but they're a good fit, they wash really well and don't seem to shrink at all. (And they are SO cute! ) 0 -

I would take them back and get store credit before they get reduced otherwise you only get sale price for them but if you return yhem now you get full price and can buy double as much stuff in the sale!
OT but need to moan. Got presents from two different friends of outfits for the girls. They're from mothercare. I thought the choices a bit strange as not the sort of thing either of them knows I would pick and not something they would put on her own little ones. One set of outfits is for18- 24 months old! I'm all for having stuff for later but hanging onto tshirts for 2 years seems a bit unrealistic - we're pushed for space as it is! They have all the tags etc so decided to return them for something I do like. I returned them less than 2 weeks after receiving them. They can't be returned! They are such old stock that there was only a week window to return them and they were really cheap. Now its not the cost I care about, I love a bagain and love when someone gets something at a good price. But I would never buy something I dont like and know the recipient wont like and can't return. So after trekking to mothercare with twins in tow I couldn't even return them. I suppose I will just have to keep them for when they're crawling to protect their 'nice' clothes!0 -

Yea id say they were gifts for her baby from others that her LO hadn't worn yet. TBH I have to say I've been guilty of giving a few things away that had been given for my LO. They were nice things tho. Basically I had my LO in babygros until he was like 6 months old! I had got so many gifts of dungarees (I think like 8 pairs!) from next etc... So I have given a couple of these to friends who have had baby boys. My fella just never wore them and they were lovely. I was just too lazy to put them on him! And we had sooo many.
I washed all the stuff I received, thinking I'd use them eventually, but never did.
So they're all washed and ready to wear, but the tags are off them, so I can't really re-gift! He has so much stuff in tiny sizes that he'll never get to wear, like yourself I put him in babygros most of the time, it's just easier! 0 -

That's the thing... It's good to know Im not the only one who kept him in babygros... Thought I was being lazy. Lol. He got so many lovely jeans, dungarees etc all sizes 0-3 or 3-6mths. And I just never put them on him! Unless we were going somewhere special. I mean... He Wasnt even sitting up till after 6months so u just didnt c the point. When I see other parents who have their Babies nicely dressed I think it looks just lovely! Made me feel so lazy!0 -
Which penneys? Was in jervis during the week and couldn't find any tights, looking for newborn sizes, or any paddy's day things.. I'm of to Heaton's in carrickmines now as they have nice green dresses on their website for €7.
They are in Nutgrove. Just back from another next same story again all the stuff is in store room so the girl went up and brought stuff down. I ended up getting money put on his gift card. Soooo annoying! I still have another 4 outfits that I prob should bring back and they will defo be in sale as they are in store room but they didnt have size I want! They are soooooo annoying. I am just worried that some lunatics will be queuing from 3 and literally grab everything (which I have seen with my own eyes literally a whole rail of the same thing) then I will be left with nothing and will have to buy summer stock. 0 -

Our little lad lives in babygros aswell. I personally don't like putting stiff 'grown up' looking clothes on him with buttons / zippers and the likes - he never looks comfortable in them. He will be wearing those kind of things soon enough. For now, he is comfy and happy in his baby gros 0 -
I think the same about the stiff sort of clothes!! I thought I was the only one but any of the few times when he was a baby and I put him into jeans he looked so uncomfortable!! He lived in babygros and little tracksuits and even at 19months he rarely wears jeans unless its a special occasion!:)Cunning Stunt wrote: »Our little lad lives in babygros aswell.

Plus their kids are 5 and 3 and they wouldn't have had them THAT long. I always go out of my way to buy nice presents for their kids that I know they will like/use and always include a gift receipt if there is any chance it won't fit or they already have it. I have bought toys on sale but usually stuff I am very confident they will like. Its not the cost more so that rather than buy something from penneys or dunnes that they know would be worn, they bought horrible stuff from mothercare sale just for the sake of buying mothercare. I would've preferred dunnes or penneys or tesco and at least had stuff I could use!
Ah ok. yea thatd be annoying! Maybe she didnt want ur cutie pies looking better than her own kids. 0 -
