If you're never held a 5 lbs baby, here's a little bit of assistance in seeing how tiny they are...
This is Avery at about 5 lbs 4 oz in a lil'joey newborn diaper. Next to her is a XS Bumgenius (6-12 lbs), a S Bumgenius (8-16lbs) and a One Size Bumgenius (10ish-35 lbs).
It is hard to imagine how small it is until you are holding one. What is even crazier is that E was 2 months old when she was 5 lbs 4 oz. The even crazier thing is that you will forget how small they were. We look at her micro preemie and preemie clothes and wonder how she ever fit in the clothes.
