long skinny babies!

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Can anyone tell me if you have found little girl clothes that run long? My dd is very long but seriously has the skinniest little belly! She eats like a hoss, and has adorable little chubby legs and cheeks but she has this little washboard stomach (I wish I could get my stomach to look like hers!!). She is too long for most 9-12 month pants for length but the waist on the 9-12 is enormous and the 12-18 literally slide right down. I have been buying 12-18 month leggings since they are a bit more snug but she kinda looks a little goofy with a HUGE gap in the waistband of her pants! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Carters is the best I've found. Both of my girls are long and skinny (DD2 was 12% for weight and 56% for height at 6 months!) and I put them in a ton of Carters stuff.

    Unfortunately I haven't found a lot. My plan is to buy pants to fit her waist and call them 'capris'. Good thing it's warmer out now:)

    Carters, for sure! DD is 40% for weight and 80% for height, so long and skinny, too.

    We also use these onesie extenders and they're awesome! I find GAP clothes are short (but adorable!), so I use these on most of her babyGAP stuff.

    Carter's all the way for us. I've also had good luck with Jumping Beans. BabyGap is hit or miss depending on the item. Their pants are perfect, but the onsies are too wide all the time. I can also tell you we don't like Circo, Children's Place, or Gymboree, because they all tend to run very wide.

    My DD is long and skinny, but we use cloth diapers so the extra diaper bulk holds her pants up lol
    You can get these though, there's also ones with clips so the pants don't have to have belt loops. https://www.baby-and-beyond.com/accessories/dapper-snappers-toddler-pants-waist-adjuster/prod_191.html

    Lots of dresses! :) My daughter doesn't have that problem as much though--she is still skinny--but length wise average--so on nice days she is in a lot of simple, summer dresses--because this way I never had to fuss with pants not fitting well, or falling off, etc.

    Same problem with my son. He's in the 95th percentile for height and his feet do not fit in the pjs with feet.  DH and I are both very tall so.... And DH has size 15 feet!  Have tried places like Marshall's and tj max for discount lines such as Ralph Lauren, timberland that are cut longer and not for fat short babies.  Try Zara for kids too.
