Hello I have a friend who's nigi is going to be having her babies in Dec. I want to make these cute little sweaters for her as a X-mas gift.Can anyone tell me about how long there babies can be??? I saw they ususally weigh about 2 lbs. But just needing a guessish about the length. This is her first time to kid not sure if that matters. Thanks

Sorry, I can't give you a length measurement. All I do is weigh them. If one needs a sweater, I cut off a tube sock and use the ribbed part. I'm guessing maybe 5" to 6" long from neck to butt on average.

yeah.. 5-6 would be a good average.. depending on the number of kids born they could actuallye a bit smaller or a bit larger.. think in terms of very small chihuahua. when born they average around 3lbs or so.. some bigger some smaller..
