Grow by Gerber Onesies Review: Organic 5-Pack Bodysuits

Grow by Gerber Baby Boys' Comfy Stretch Short Sleeve Onesies, 5-Pack

Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Parents stocking up on everyday bodysuits for newborn to 12 months
Anyone who wants an independently certified fabric at a low price
Warm weather dressing or layering under pants and sweaters

Skip it if

You want 100% organic cotton with no spandex
You dry everything on high heat and want sizes that stay true
You prefer thicker, heavier bodysuits

What owners like

Soft fabric and an easy expandable neck opening, noted in an older BabyGearLab review of Gerber's organic onesies
Low cost per bodysuit for a basic layering piece
Fitted, thin cut that suits warm weather and layering

Common complaints

Gerber onesies tend to run small, so many parents size up
Cotton shrinks in a hot dryer; low heat or line drying is the usual advice

Based on Gerber Childrenswear's Grow by Gerber Comfy Stretch product pages, a ParentPortfolio sizing guide on Gerber onesies, and a 2015 BabyGearLab review of an earlier Gerber organic onesie. The sizing and shrink themes cover Gerber onesies in general, not this exact stretch line..

What it does

A five pack of short sleeve baby bodysuits in a stretch cotton blend with organic fibers, with a lap shoulder neckline and snaps at the bottom.

Stretch fabric with 3% spandex that moves with the baby
Expandable lap shoulder neckline for easier dressing
Bottom snaps sit high for quicker diaper changes
Fabric certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, which Gerber says covers over 400 substances including PFAS
Prints in the line are designed to mix and match

A low cost everyday layer for parents who want a stretchy, certified fabric and easy diaper changes. The main trade-off is fit, since sizing guides and parents say Gerber onesies run small and shrink in a hot dryer, so many buy a size up.
