Big Baby (6 months & on highest BG OS rise)

StefandTodd

My LO is right at 21 lb and the medium rise of the BG 4.0's was getting small and we had our first CD blowout the other day, so I moved him up to the largest rise (the BG website says 22-35 lb, so he wasn't far off and the fit seems great now).  Anyway, I'm starting to become really nervous that these OS diapers are not going to actually fit until potty-training. 

Anyone else with a big baby have any reassuring words?  Or maybe what you had to do?  I am thinking if I have to have more stash I'd go with prefolds and covers for cost...but our DC would insist on pockets or AIO's...would I need extra large ones?  Any XL recommendations?  I think (hope!!) we'll still have awhile at this largest rise, and I know as he gets more mobile his weight gain will slow a bit, but it does make me nervous to be at the largest rise for the bulk of our stash at *just* 6 months!

TIA

I've had DS on the biggest rise of his Kawaii since about 6 months. He's not even that big - they just fit best that way. And now it's nearly 4 months later, and he's fine. They sort of change shape as they go.

If you do need a bigger diaper, Fuzzibunz Large or another sized diaper on Large is typically bigger than a OS.

DD has been in 90-95 percentiles since birth for weight.  I moved her to the largest rise setting around 6 months.  But, just after  12/13 months I moved them back down to the middle setting because she's slimming down a bit as she's walking and getting taller.  There isn't as much chub around her middle.  It's fine to have to go back and forth between rise settings.

My son was chubby until he started crawling. He started crawling at 5 months and walked at just under 9 months.  Once he started moving around and walking more, he thinned out and stopped gaining so much weight.  So your LO might be the same way.  Jordan's only gained 4 pounds between 9 months and 18 months.

Thank you!  This is reassuring (which is what I hoped for ).

I love the perfect fit FB and blueberry pockets, and we have a few of those too.  We just have many BG 4.0's too for daycare use, and I would be bummed if he wasn't using them for quite awhile longer. 

Thanks again

My little guy has been in the highest rise since we got them, he's not heavy but he is long.  They still fit and it's been 11 months.
