I've been finding that for pajamas, separates are really good for this period. They tend to run narrower than 1 piece pjs. And I always go to footless pjs at the tail end of a size range. </p> <p>As for clothes, I just let her wear things either loose and rolled, or fitted and short. Dresses become tops and I don't mid longer leggings, which can be folded or scrunched (and don't fall over her feet). I've been liking tights under dresses too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1220123 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 19:15:47 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1220123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was complaining about this today in Old Navy. R is about to grow out of 3-6mths but there is no way 6-12mths will fit.</p> <p>Seriously, how is one garment suppose to fit for 6 months?</p> <p>No solution here, just commiserating haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1220068 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:30:44 +0000 RubyCali 1220068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This! My LO is long too. The 6-12 footed sleepers from BG are almost too snug but she is swimming in the 12-18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1220050 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:06:37 +0000 birdofafeather 1220050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: i only have a couple of the 12 month size because i thought it would be a waste, but now i might pick up some cheap stuff on black friday so everything isn't huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219819 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:44:53 +0000 smocks 1219819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD basically only wears leggings because she's got long legs and smaller hips. She's 9 months, wears 9 mo tops and 12-18 mo leggings most days. We have 18 mo pants-pants for her but they are enormous. I would roll the cuffs if I were in your spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219809 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:41:17 +0000 lamariniere 1219809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just rolled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219529 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:08:54 +0000 immabeetoo 1219529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this issue I just rolled and hand stitched thre stitches on each side so they stayed cuffed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219514 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:04:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 1219514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, this is a huge struggle for us right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219482 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:50:51 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1219482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was us a month ago. So annoying! Luckily L bridged the gap quickly. She wore a 6-12 romper on Monday and it just barely fit, five days later it was ridiculously short. Hello growth spurt.<br /> We bought her two pairs of two piece pjs with elasticized ankles, they were too long for a bit, but now fit better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219465 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:44:48 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1219465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also noticed that Kohl's Jumping Beans brand pants run on the bigger side. He's perfectly in 12 month pants for them and 18 month shirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219463 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:43:31 +0000 PinkElephant 1219463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in a similar situation - for the most part the width on 12-18 months just won't work for us, so I'm layering long socks/boots or leg warmers over pants that are getting a bit short. Tights are also more forgiving than pants so we've been doing lots of wooly tights/leggings in the bigger sizes layered w/ lbs onesies/tees and a dress, topped off with a loose sweater.</p> <p>Carter's makes some styles of legging that are really skinny, and their tight pjs run skinny but long too, so we are using 9-12 month sizes from them to fill the 6-12 / 12-18 gap in some of our favorite brands. I don't have any 12-18 baby gap pjs that are long, so not sure about those.</p> <p>It's a tricky size jump for sure - I'm glad that where we live it won't be cold for long; short dresses./skirts/shirts are so much more manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219447 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:35:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 1219447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this drove me crazy. we stayed in carter's during the gap, but she's fitting back into her baby gap stuff now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219443 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:34:08 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1219443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We're having this issue right now. LO is 13.5 months and he's hovering in between 6-12 and 12-18 months in sizes. The pants are especially a problem since 6-12 are floods on him, but 12-18 we have to roll 3 times to get them to the length he needs. Shirts don't seem to be as much of a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-size-jump-between-6-12-and-12-18#post-1219435 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:31:26 +0000 birdofafeather 1219435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has always been long and I've been okay with her wearing tighter things to make the clothes last a little longer, but her pants were getting a bit ridiculous lately in the 6-12 size (way too short!), so i got all the 12-18 sizes out, including her pjs, which were totally pulling at the feet and neck before. </p> <p>now the 12-18 sizes (BG, ON, carters stuff), i have to roll the pants and the pjs are so long that her feet get caught. i have some carter's 12 month stuff, but i don't want to get a whole new wardrobe in that!</p> <p>anyone else have an issue with this size jump? what did you do to fill in the gaps? </p>
