GMD sizing?

How true to size are GMDs?  I know a lot of the OS diapers say they fit 8lbs. or 10lbs., but don't really fit most babies that size.  If the GMD says it fits 6-10 lbs do they generally fit babies in that weight range or are they a little smaller or bigger?

Thanks!

I think they really do. GMD has pics of real babies wearing most of the diapers they sell with their weights. If you are talking prefolds, those are pretty customizable. We were able to get a good fit with them on our 7 pounder with a Snappi. I think we had to fold down a little bit at first, but the diapers still worked great!

My son is in the orange edge (newborn) still and he is 11 pounds. My guess is that they'll be good on him until about 12 pounds. He's long and lean, so that may be why I'm able to get more mileage out of them than the recommended 6-10.
