Ditto on that. When DH was born, he was a big baby and went straight into 6mo clothes - MIL had to return or exchange all the newborn clothes she got. Also, people don't always keep in mind that seasons change, and that a baby born in early summer isn't going to get a lot of mileage out of a newborn-sized winter snowsuit.
When my best friends have babies, I often knit baby blankets for them. Baby blankets don't have sizes.
Blankets can be reused for subsequent babies, used in doll beds, incorporated into larger blankets, or handed down to the next generation.
