I’m a Hanna fan but only on sale lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860742 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 19:10:30 +0000 PinkElephant 2860742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hanna Andersson has some very full coverage briefs, and the brand is generously sized, but you might find the seams kind of thick (I do)...and they're $$$. </p> <p>I think the link that skinnycow posted is sort of a Hanna knockoff (moms who love Hanna tend to like them - I've seen them shared before on kids' clothing boards), so those might be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860715 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 17:12:35 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2860715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: thanks for this, I didn’t even consider Carters since their clothes run so small. Just stopped in to pick up a few size 6s and they’re definitely higher than the ones we have now so I’m hopeful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860681 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 15:11:12 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2860681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: oh these look promising thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860675 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:56:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 2860675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t know if they would be better, but the carters ones have a much different fit and shape than the Disney ones. . And the seams are pretty smooth. But they definitely aren’t as high waisted as the Disney ones(I’m lucky neither of my kid has complained about the seams but I could see them being annoying!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860674 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:55:10 +0000 skinnycow 2860674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like these for my daughter. She's only 2y9m but she's big (wears 4T in clothes). She doesn't have a small butt but she has a round belly and these come up higher than you're explaining. They're definitely form fitting on her butt so maybe they'll work on your daughter.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Panties-GirlsBriefs-Toddler-Underwear/dp/B07DHCD9X6/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544125490&#038;sr=1-5&#038;nodeID=7141123011&#038;psd=1&#038;keywords=toddler+underwear+girls" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Panties-GirlsBriefs-Toddler-Underwear/dp/B07DHCD9X6/ref=sr_1_5?s=apparel&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1544125490&#038;sr=1-5&#038;nodeID=7141123011&#038;psd=1&#038;keywords=toddler+underwear+girls</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860673 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:50:57 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2860673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I haven’t! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860669 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:33:51 +0000 Mamaof2 2860669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: have you tried Old Navy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860663 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:19:12 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2860663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: I looked at all the Hanes ones but for some reason they go from size 6 and a max of 48 lbs to size 8 and a min of 61 lbs. The whole 50 lbs range is MIA so I wasn’t sure it’s worth even trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860658 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:10:33 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2860658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe high cut briefs from hanes? They might ride better on her body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/underwear-for-weirdly-sized-kid-girl#post-2860657 Thu, 06 Dec 2018 14:08:43 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2860657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5.5 year old is around 48 lbs but on the short side and has a bit of a belly/rounder middle (about 23-24 inches) but small butt. As a result I’m losing my mind trying to find good underwear for her. Cat and Jack briefs from Target in size 6 is what she wears now, and they’re a bit tight on her and sit pretty low, just above her privates, but the next size up (8) is too loose around her butt and still very low on her belly. I walked around Target and can’t figure out what might work better. It doesn’t need to come all the way up to her belly, though I would like to have something that’s a bit higher than the current undies, so briefs would be ideal, and we need something with smooth seams (this rules out Disney brand, she hates their seams). Size charts seem to suggest moving up to an 8 in whatever brand but the ones we tried were too loose around her butt. Anyone have brands that worked for similar sized kids? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833246 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 19:55:10 +0000 Alba4 2833246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 was 8lbs 3oz at birth and wore newborn size for about a month.<br /> DS2 was 9 lbs 11 oz at birth and never wore newborn size. He went straight to 3 month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833220 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:38:31 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2833220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady @lctbqe my second was a girl and she was heavier but an inch shorter than my son. She has since not grown as quick as he did, still above 90th percentile though. </p> <p>We were team green but I guessed girl for this pregnancy, my husband kept saying girls are smaller it can’t be a girl with how big the baby is measuring and my weight gain. Well it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833137 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:09:48 +0000 looch 2833137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I underestimated the size of my son at birth and my husband went out to buy some newborn things that he wore for about a month. FWIW, he was 7.5 pounds and about 19 inches. I was expecting at least a 9 pounder and had purchased plenty of 0-3 month stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833136 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:04:31 +0000 krispi 2833136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I didn't even buy any. My daughter was exactly 9 lbs and went straight into 0-3 month onesies when we got home. At first, the Gerber onesies fit her the best, and it took a month or so for her to grow into Carters and Old Navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833109 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 08:51:03 +0000 cnidaria 2833109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was under 7 lbs and still only wore newborn stuff for three or four weeks! She put on weight really quickly over the first 6 weeks, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833072 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 00:39:21 +0000 crazydoglady 2833072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: Hahahaha...here's hoping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833062 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:11:54 +0000 ALV91711 2833062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 9lbs 5oz. I had one NB size outfit that was gifted and he wore it twice in the first couple weeks then it was too small. I expect this guy will be big too and plan on skipping NB size clothes unless I'm gifted something. </p> <p>We were given one box of NB size diapers with DS and they were almost too small by the time we used them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833059 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:51:35 +0000 codeitall 2833059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 3 weeks too. My first was about 6.5 lb so I was surprised to have a 8.5 lb second baby. All those cute onesies the first wore barely even got cycled through once with the second ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833057 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 22:24:16 +0000 LCTBQE 2833057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: ugh seriously. telling myself it's all fluid retention... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833016 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 20:23:44 +0000 crazydoglady 2833016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: That's what I was thinking but if my weight gain is any indication...shes going to weigh 20 lbs. 😅 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833012 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 20:15:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2833012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was 10lbs 7oz.

He could have squeezed in Nb But we went strait to 0-3 and weren't there for long either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833005 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 19:42:01 +0000 LCTBQE 2833005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: my boy was 9 lbs, 21" and was in NB clothes for 3 or 4 weeks, NB diapers for 2-3 weeks. I was glad I had them because for that little bit he was kind of swimming in the 0-3/ size 1's. my husband and I are both tall and I expect to make another big baby, but wondering if the girl will be a touch smaller just because she's a girl? have you considered that, too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2833003 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 19:34:51 +0000 Jennibenni 2833003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About three weeks for both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2832998 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 19:28:30 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2832998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I had to use the size 1s I packed in my bag on my mother’s advice because she said she never used newborn diapers for any kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2832997 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 19:27:29 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2832997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to put my 9.14 oz baby in a nb sleeper at the hospital and it didn’t fit...so I skipped nb clothes completely except for maybe a few onesies/diaper shirts for 2 weeks, depended on the brand. Nb diapers also didn’t fit. Then my second was 8.12 and was in nb diapers and clothes for a few weeks; I think 3. Not more than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2832992 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 18:55:09 +0000 Pollywog 2832992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: literally less than a week. My kids were both 8 lbs, but all torso. We are undecided on a third, but I've donated all of the newborn stuff because it got not use.</p> <p>My 11 weeker is solidly in 9 month clothes. We were in 6 months around 6 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2832987 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 18:29:39 +0000 wrkbrk 2832987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: 3 weeks :) He was 8/8 and 22 inches at birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-big-baby-wear-newborn-size#post-2832983 Mon, 09 Jul 2018 18:19:16 +0000 lilteacherbee 2832983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest was 8lb 13oz and he wore NB for exactly two weeks. I remember because he turned two weeks old on Thanksgiving and he had the cutest turkey sleeper. He barely squeezed into it and the next day, he started wearing 0-3 months. </p>
