When to go up a diaper size

When do you know it's time to move up a size? My daughter will be 6 weeks on Thursday and she is still in newborn size (almost 9 lbs). We have half a newborn case to go, but I need to order more diapers. I bought 2 cases a week before Memorial Day, so they've lasted about 3.5 weeks. We also use 2 small packages over Memorial weekend (we were traveling). Is it safe to buy 2 more cases of newborn size or should I move to size 1's? The diapers aren't leaking and the tabs are still able to touch in the middle when we fasten the diaper. I was going to use diapers.com to order, but in 2 weeks I don't want to be stuck with a case of diapers that we can't use. 

Thanks!

    I would not order more newborn. Move up to size 1s whenever you like. I would go to the store and get a small pack of size 1s in the brand you like to make sure they aren't too big/leak and then order those. But at that weight you should be about right for size 1s. My son was born 8 1/2 lbs and could have worn 1s from the beginning.

    My son was born 8/3 and has been wearing size 1 since birth. I agree with pp I would not order anymore newborn size diapers.

    DD will also be 6 weeks tomorrow and we have been using size 1 diapers for a couple of weeks now. We switched when the newborn diapers were leaving marks on her legs like they were too tight.

    I have a couple small size 1 packages and they still seem to big for her. Maybe she just has a tiny butt :)

    We know when they start leaking. Depending on the brand of diaper and the shape of your baby, the weight ranges may be WAY off. The first few times you use a bigger diaper you'll think it can't possibly be right because it looks HUGE, but by the third or fourth diaper you'll wonder how they ever fit in anything smaller.
