How long till your baby grew out of NB stash?

AmyO. · January 2011

Hi everyone.

I am trying to get all my stuff together for a NB stash, but don't want to spend too much when I assume he will grow out of that phase fairly quickly. (H and I are both 6'0" and we grew pretty quickly when we were little.) I just wondered how long your little ones used their NB fitteds/prefolds? TIA!

my NB prefolds 7-8 weeks, smalls fit until about 5-6months, but I didn't use them that long since I moved DS into one sized. DS was only 6lbs 3oz at birth

About 5-6 weeks....but that last week or so we started getting a lot more leaks so I probably should have stopped sooner but was in denial my little peanut was growing up.

I have a super long baby and he was 9lbs at birth. I was using newborn GMD prefolds, which top out at 10lbs, I think. He is the exception, but it is possible. My DH is a little over 6ft and I am average height, so we weren't expecting such a big baby.

4-5 weeks

Lil Joeys: somewhere right around the 10 week mark

Kissaluvs fitted size 0: she can still wear on the last snap

Between 8-10 weeks depending on the diaper. We are both tall and our daughter is also very tall (36" at her 18 mo. checkup). She's always needed a longer rise diaper but she has skinny legs, sized diapers work better for us than OS.

She wore them until 3 months. She could have gone longer, but we switched her to os because she started daycare. She was a preemie and was 5 lbs when we brought her home.

My baby was full term, but only 6lbs at birth.

12 Lil Joeys - about 4 weeks. They still fit her, but when she started gaining weight, her belly was average but her thighs teeny. They kept leaking out the leg.

30 KL0s - at 11 weeks she is still in these during the day. She's on one snap on one side and the second snap on the other with xsmall thirsties and size 1 duos. She pees through them pretty quickly now - but no leaks! She's about 11 lbs now.

ETA - I'm average height but my husband is 6' 2" ish. I don't know if you can go by height. I'd look more at how you and your husband are proportioned (big thighs? long waist? etc) and what you weighted at birth compared to how long you were at birth.

The lil joeys he was out of by 4 weeks. His kl0's maybe the same. I had him in BG size smalls until 7 weeks with no leaks. He can still fit in them, but he has to be changed within an hour.

I still use his prefolds all the time though. I ordered one newborn and decided it was too small to order more when compared to the size small. So I started with small prefolds (fit 8-18lbs) and they still work snappi'd or tri-folded in a cover.

He fit into some of his OS by 3 or 4 weeks.

She was able to wear them for a long time. The BG XS were the first to not fit and that was at probably 3 months. Her GMD orange edge prefolds and KL0s still fit now. She is nearly 5 months. She is tiny though. (Around 10% for height,

% for weight)
