This is probably a stupid question, but we just started cloth diapering. DD will be 16 weeks on Wednesday. I put the cloth diaper on her the other day and her bum is so fat she barely fits in her clothes! Then, the car seat situation was a nightmare trying to squeeze her in. I think we figured that out though, DH adjusted something...
So tell me, I'm not supposed to put her in the next size up for clothing am I?! Oh and BTW, the diapers are Dream-Eze...TIA
Re: Bulky Bums
When I did I adjusted it to the loosest on the straps and it was still tight DH just figured out how to get the bottom clip moved forward to allow more room at the bottom.
We size-up clothes. For the car seat the crotch strap is in the same position as with a disposable but we need to loosen the arm straps to allow a better fit.
Every time we take her out of the car seat we loosen the straps so we don't have to contort her arms...then when she goes in next she slides in easy and I pull the strap by her feet and tighten to the right fit. This is what the previous poster meant, do you typically slack the arm straps to put her in and out or do you just bend her limbs and leave it in the same setting at all times.
My daughter is taller an wider with a cloth diaper on so there would be a pretty noticeable difference in the car seat setting straps if she wore a disposable.
