Baby size 50 to age
Size 50 means 50 cm of height — that fits a baby of roughly newborn. European baby clothing is sized by height in cm, not age.
Who size 50 fits
EU sizes go up in steps of 6 cm, and the number is the top of the range. So size 50 is made for a baby up to 50 cm long. The next size up is 56 (0–2 months).
| Size | Height | Typical age |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | up to 50 cm | newborn (0–1 month) |
| 56 | 51–56 cm | 0–2 months |
| 62 | 57–62 cm | 2–4 months |
| 68 | 63–68 cm | 4–6 months |
