Diaper Sizes

Caseyk1127

How old was your baby when you stopped using NB diapers? We use Pampers Swaddlers, he's just over 9lbs and they are getting kinda tight on the tummy and legs but we haven't had any blowouts or anything. Because of the tightness I tried moving him up to size 1 but the pampers, huggies, luvs, and target brand size 1's are HUGE on him ... not just the length but on the sides ... if I left them on everything would come out the sides!!! My poor boy needs to grow a butt to hold them on, LOL.

We are having this problem as well. LO is 9lbs. 3oz. and the newborn diapers are starting to get snug around her legs. Even though she is long and lean. 

Every brand of size ones are huge on her, and rub her cord. (It still has not fallen off) However, we are trying to make them work as she is constantly peeing through the newborns.

Once we use up this last pack of NB diapers, I'm moving DD2 into the size 1's. I don't know how much she weighs (her 2 month appointment is this Thursday) but she was 8 lbs. 6 oz at her one month visit.

We changed from NB to size 1 last week. He was getting red indentations around his legs and just looked too tight even though they were fine around his waist. Size 1 is pretty big, but the sides fit thanks to the elastic and we haven't had any leaking issues. I imagine he'll be in this size for a while. We are using Pampers swaddlers too if that helps.

I stuck my head in here to see what anyone says about moving from size 1 to 2, but now I feel silly.

My baby was born 10lbs 14oz, so he never wore a Newborn diaper, even for a minute. We're just about outgrowing size 1 and he's just over 1 month old. They're not leaking yet or making red marks, but they sure look small on him! I don't have any size 2s yet to compare.

Bummer is that I have hundreds of size 1s that I had stocked up on before the baby came. Then I got more as gifts...people who wanted to buy something useful for my fourth baby. Shoot!

This was our situation exactly! Only difference is that we are using Sensitive Swaddlers, not the regular Swaddlers. Our daughter was about a week old when we made the switch.

Like PP, DS is 5 weeks, 12 lbs, and we just changed to size 2.  although a bit big, they give him much more room for pooping, which is needed since he is eating 4-5 oz. every 3 hours!

DS switched from NB to size 1 at about 10 weeks. The size 1's are huge but the newborns made his legs look sore above his thighs.

At about week 2 we ran out of NB ad began to use number 1s, which surprising fit him. At birth he was 8.1lb and 21 inches. He now wears a size two now. He is 10 weeks and weighs 14.5lb and 25 inches.

My LO was only 7lb15oz at birth, but he moved into size two at about 6 weeks (we cloth diaper, but keep a few disposables around for travel).  He is 10 weeks old today and already over 15lbs!

Our little one used newborns until his was about fifteen pounds!  Then we moved him up to ones!  they where still a little big on him but the weight was 7 to 14 pounds.
