When to size up on diapers?

DD is almost 4 months old and is still in NB diapers.  They seem like they are just now getting a little small.  But how do you tell when to go up a size?

Re: When to size up on diapers?

  • When they look like they are getting to small and/or leaking.  Plus diapers have a weight range to help you pick which diaper may fit better.

  • holy cow!  dd was out of nb diapers at 2 weeks.  we change when it seems like her butt is too wide for the diaper and it doesnt fit on the right spots anymore, or when she starts leaking out of them

  • A clear sign to move up is when you have leaks or blowouts.

  • We are hitting four months this week and just finishing up 1s and moving to 2's.  I say when you have more leaks and they leave lines and make DC red.  NB at four months! You must have a little baby :)

  • Well she was having blowouts her first month, but she doesn't anymore.  And she is just long and skinny so they still fit pretty well.  I've tried size 1 and they are huge on her.  Maybe I'll try a different brand.  It's like she is a little too big for NB now and a little too small for size 1.  The NB I have say up to 10 lbs and she is about 11 lbs, but just pretty skinny. 

  • Pampers 1's are smaller than Huggies 1's for the in between part, if that helps.

  • I have a long and skinny baby too and I find Huggies are countoured more to her shape than Pampers. I like the way they fit her much better. The Pampers are so wide on her. I'm not sure what you're using but it's just a thought!
  • We're over 3 months and already in 2's. Had major blowout problems, up the back, changing clothes multiple times in 1 day, so we had to change.
  • I noticed too that Pampers are smaller than Huggies.  I stopped buying Pampers NB because they were getting too small but she fits in Huggies NB.  Maybe since the Huggies NB are getting a little small and Huggies size 1 are too big, I'll try Pampers size 1.

    Thank you!

    Wow! She must be a tiny peanut. DS used a grand total of one newborn diaper. ONE. He just turned 4 months and we're already in 3s.

    Wow, size 3?  Yes she is a tiny peanut :)  I feel bad though because she has reflux so she can't eat a lot at a time.  If I feed her too much she throws it all up.  So I have to feed her small amounts all day.  So she would probably be bigger if she could keep her food down better.
