Baby Size Calculator: What clothes size does my baby need?
Our free baby size calculator determines the right baby size in a few seconds based on height, weight, age, and season. Whether you're looking for the correct clothing size for a newborn, a 3-month-old baby, or a gift for a birth – the calculator provides practical guidance.
Especially when gifting baby clothes, it's often difficult to estimate the correct size. That's why the calculator considers not only age but primarily height, weight, and the season.

Discover Baby ClothingNote: The calculated size is a guide. Babies develop differently. If you are unsure or want to give clothes as a gift, the next larger size is usually the safer choice.
Calculate Baby Size – Why Height is More Important Than Age
Many size charts are based on the baby's age. This is helpful but not always accurate. Two babies can be the same age and still need different clothing sizes. Therefore, height is the most important value when you want to calculate the correct baby size.
Weight also helps in assessing whether a bodysuit, romper, sleepsuit or overall should fit a little more comfortably. Especially for chubbier babies, the next size up is often more pleasant.
Our Honest Tip
If you want to give baby clothes as a gift for a birth, size 62 is often more sensible than size 50 or 56. Many newborns grow out of the smallest sizes very quickly.
Baby Size Chart: Clothing Size by Height and Age
The following size chart helps you quickly classify baby sizes. It does not replace the calculator but is a good guide for bodysuits, rompers, sleepsuits, trousers, sweaters, and baby overalls.
Which Baby Size to Gift?
If you want to give baby clothes as a gift, you should plan a bit more generously. Sizes 50 and 56 look cute but are often worn for a very short time. For birth gifts, size 62 is often the better choice because it can usually be used longer.
For personalized baby clothes with a name, a slightly larger size is particularly useful. This way, the gift remains in use longer and doesn't become too small after just a few weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baby Sizes

What baby size for a height of 50 cm?
For a height of about 50 cm, baby size 50 usually fits. If the baby is chubbier or the clothes should fit longer, size 56 can be sensible.
