diapers for large baby?

My almost one-year-old is a big boy: 97% for height and 78% for weight.  His size 6 night-time diapers are starting to cut into his thigh.  I can only find diapers up to size 6.  Do I put him in night-time pull-ups in his size and just treat them as diapers, not training pants?

    Do you use overnight diapers or just regular? We went up a size in the overnights and we haven't had any issues. We have a big baby and haven't had any issues.

    Where on his thigh is it cutting in? Do you mean more of the "bikini" area? Do you have leaks or anything?

    How tall and how much does LO weigh? I ask, because at a year, DD1 was like 30-31 ins and 26 lbs, so really big. I believe she was a size five diaper in pampers, but was a four in a nighttime diaper from huggies. I would try different diapers, or a cruiser that is more low profile. I say this only because pull ups will cost you more. It could be that you just need to find a better fitting brand diaper. Also, if it is an issue of LO leaking, there are inserts you can put it for nighttime. Think old fashioned pads that act as a backup. And I know I have seen size seven diapers. Good luck!

    What brand diaper are you using? I've found that different brands run small. Pampers seem to run big. So a size 6 in luvs is smaller than a size 6 in pampers. 

    Size 3 in luvs are really tight on my son,  but a size 3 in pampers fit him perfectly. also, pampers cruisers may be have more "give" then pampers baby dry.
