Diaper question about size 3

jilicious

I'm going to Costco this weekend and will buy the big box of Huggies they have, but I'm not sure what size to get. Alexandra is a big girl at 16lbs (well, she was 16 lbs last week) but she is also a tall baby at 26 1/4." She's currently in 2s and they fit well. We have the majority of an 84 pack left.

I know diapers don't necessary fit according to weight but I was wondering, should I get size 2 or size 3? How much bigger are the 3s?

I would go with the threes because you know that you will use them all whereas with the twos that may not be the case.  My DD is still in a size 2 she is around 14 or 15 pounds (her appointment is today) and they fit great but her history with diapers is they start to get small at around 2 pounds before the end size, which is 18 pounds for size 2.   Like your LO she is tall.  I have not had any issues putting a diaper on her that was a little big.

I would suggest 3's.

This. LO was about 16 lbs and 25 in when we moved up to 3s.

Thanky ou, lovely ladies! Can you believe we used to have our babies in newborn sizes, and size 1 looked gigantic? And now we're in 2s, and they look so small to me still! How strange.

The big box of size 1-2 Huggies diapers at Sam's Club runs up to 15 lbs, so I would buy the size 3.  I do not understand why they don't just have size 2 diapers at Sam's Club and probably at Costco, because the size 2 diapers at regular stores runs up to 18 lbs.  Weird!
