Will this jacket be too big for an infant 8 weeks old? He is a bit over 11 lbs. Thank you!

It is supposed to be for any baby under 30 lbs but it would probably fit very big.

We ordered this jacket for our granddaughter when she was just under 20 pounds. It is excellently made and we all loved it, but was way to small for her. And very tight. According to the rating it should have worked just fine. Be aware that the jacket itself has about an inch and a half material in all areas and the float in the back of the child's head is quite large and also the same thickness. Your child would never drown in this jacket, but like our granddaughter, may not tolerate the thickness of the jacket. I would imagine that it would fit an eleven pound child well. I think it should have been rated differently. Hope this helps! We ordered this jacket for our granddaughter when she was just under 20 pounds.

Our baby is close to 13lbs and I feel like she has a few more months in it- it is very roomy on her. I think you would still get a lot of use out of it.

Seems a little large for my "infant". I can still put it on my skinny 2 year old, but my 4 month old is a bit small. I think 6-12+ months is a good range, right when you're starting to feed some baby food.

I would say it would fit her great. My baby is only 5 months and 16 lbs and it fits her but it is big. It would fit my 18 month old nephew perfectly.

I would not recommend it at all. Our 8 week old is almost too long for it already and your 11 month old will probably be able to pull it over themselves.

It will probably be a little big. I purchased this for my daughter when she was 6 months and it was big for her. I had to support her with my hands.

Fit is extremely important to the safety and effectiveness of the Magic Sleepsuit. If the suit is too large it will not be able to keep your baby cozy and muffle the startle reflex as it is intended to do. Since every baby is shaped differently, our sizing guidelines are a suggestion based on the average 3-6 and 6-9 month old. When in doubt, choose the size closest to the clothing size that your baby is wearing. Please give us a call and we will be more than happy to answer any additional sizing questions at 877-458-0130.

I loved ours but at 20 lbs he is likely to only fit in it a very short time. I watch a 20lb 8 month old and it is a little small now. My 21 lb daughter out grew it at 18 lbs and 28 inches. Since they dont make a 9 or 12 month version i invested in a winter bundting, it was a great transition suit. It keeps her warm and still muffles some movement.

I have found that preemie clothes fit as well as newborn. 0-3 months are too big. Hope this helps.

My grandson is 2 years and two months and weighs in that range and a one is a bit big on him. Some people say to buy two or three and then return those that do not fit, but I would think a size one or two would do. I am not an expert, you could also try calling O'Neill's surf shop to ask them, but I bought a two first and it was too big, so then I bought a one and it is still a bit large.

Depending on how small the newborn is it could. Probably not too ideal for a newborn under 8 pounds plus the padding that comes with it is a little rough too so I could rub wrong on a little one.

it would be perfect! I got a baby and he is a mature now. fits him very well still!

It is a great life jacket (read safe) BUT unless you have some HUGE 11 month old I think it may be a bit big.

I'm pretty sure it's ok for 8 week infant. Although, I exchanged this for Babybjorn Miracle, which I liked mush more, it's not as bulky as Comfort one

i cannot recommend a size, but can tell it does run "true to size" and is a beautiful jacket. Very well made. I ordered an extra small for grand daughter and there appears to be room for a sweater., etc., but she is 5'1" and about 80 lbs., so cannot help you with the correct size, sorry!

I started using cloth at 6/7 months and my son runs average to small sized. I had him on the lowest rise setting with the wings overlapped for a couple months. I would say these are probably gonna be too big at first. Not sure how long.... but I'd def still get some one sized. You know how babies grow..
