BG 4.,0 are pockets, yes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1093880 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 00:57:59 +0000 MsMini 1093880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found FB one size fit my long and lean baby the best ( I just made sure to adjust the elastics as small as possible). I never got a good fit with apple cheeks, AMP were OK, but not great, and I found grovia AIO's to gap at the legs. A couple WAHM brands work well as well (Ella bella bum for one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1093859 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 00:27:28 +0000 birdofafeather 1093859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babe is long and lean (just checked her stats at 4 months and she was 26.75" and 13lb 15oz) and we have loved the BG 4.0s! We started using them at 4 weeks when she was about 9.5 lbs. we kept them on the lowest rise until maybe 6 months as that controls the leg holes and then the other snaps keep them close to her tummy. Only had leak issues when we switched the rise until her legs filled out. Otherwise, totally happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1093826 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 23:35:02 +0000 lolabee 1093826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow!!! She is long an lean! My suggestion would to be try out a couple of AppleCheeks. In my opinion the fit is incomparable to any other diaper I've used (not including wool).<br /> Where abouts are you? I could mail you a couple size 1's to test out? LMK!<br /> From being on one of the AC FB groups it seems everyone raves about the fit on tiny babes to chunky monkeys like my LO. To give an idea the size one fit our LO from birthweight to 18lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1093784 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 22:35:50 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1093784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grovia AIO are very narrow. Also Blueberry has sized diapers that are really nice and relatively narrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1093772 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 22:21:42 +0000 Beebug 1093772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about BG 4.0?</p> <p>At 6m my girlie was 27.5" and is a little string bean still (though not much taller at 11m!), we still do them up near the tightest, and have never had a leak! They are so adjustable with all the layers of snaps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092691 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:07:07 +0000 JoJoGirl 1092691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: We tried Grovia and Kissaluvs fitteds + covers and they were also just.. enormous on her. But maybe we'll need to try again.</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: Hmmm I'll ask about those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092663 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:00:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1092663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clearly, I have no experience, but what about something like Applecheeks? They have lots of snaps that you can adjust to be looser at the top and tighter at the bottom. Do you think something like that might work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092461 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:05:01 +0000 Smurfette 1092461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: On Friday, she was 14.10lb and 25". She was 90% for height when born and now 45%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092456 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:03:00 +0000 JoJoGirl 1092456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: No no, not poor her! Poor A for being such a string bean! I have her in 6 month clothes already, safety pinned at the waist so they will stay up :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092452 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 12:01:13 +0000 Smurfette 1092452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: No CD advice, but she is already taller then R. My poor little peanut </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092444 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:59:10 +0000 runsyellowlites 1092444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: She wears Sunbaby dipes! We already had the sized &amp; prefolds for our nb stash so we just wore them longer than we originally expected. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092435 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:56:09 +0000 pastemoo 1092435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wool covers.<br /> In general I am a fan of covers that are separate from whatever goes inside--more versatile for many baby sizes.<br /> I also here gDiapers is good for lean babies (but I don't know from experience) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092411 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:50:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 1092411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: Ummmmm they gave us like 9 diapers and I can't remember all of them. BG Elementals and Freetimes, Fuzzibunz (I think), Grovia, and a couple of others... I should dig up the receipt.</p> <p>@runsyellowlites: She's already 4 months so we def aren't going to invest in a "transition" stash at this point. What did she use for OS? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092398 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:48:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 1092398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fuzzibunz perfect size were great for the period that our OS didn't fit (until ~ 4mths as P was is the 3% for weight &amp; 13 for height). That &amp; prefolds with covers. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092396 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:47:53 +0000 aprk 1092396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what brands have you tried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cding-the-long-and-lean-baby#post-1092384 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 11:45:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 1092384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welp, here we are with a 4 month old still in disposables. This is SO not what we planned!! </p> <p>To give you an idea what "long and lean" means in my house, LO had her 4 month ped appt yesterdayand clocked in at 10th percentile for weight (12.5#) and 83rd for height (25.5"). This might help explain why every CD we've tried on her has been a leaky disaster... her thighs just do not fill them out. </p> <p>We are going to do ANOTHER experiment-to-own this weekend from a local CD store. Any tips from other CD moms with the same problem? We are REALLY hoping to do OS/AIOs for various reasons, but the OS just might be too big on her for a long time. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
