Plus I have like 4 huge boxes of 1s from my shower... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-770021 Thu, 09 May 2013 12:06:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 770021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd move up a size, too. We went to size 2 right around two months old/12 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-770015 Thu, 09 May 2013 12:03:43 +0000 LemonLong 770015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved my 14.5 lb baby to size threes. She has always moved up before the weight limit because I like the diaper to come up high on her back to contain blowouts. Once the diaper is fitting way below her belly button we start to move to the next size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769889 Thu, 09 May 2013 11:12:13 +0000 chopsuey 769889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I'd go up a size and wouldn't open the box if I were you! If the thigh area and waist area is tight, that's when I move up. </p> <p>I think J was in size 3 at 2 months. (14.5lbs). I wanted him to be comfy. I'm gonna move him up to size 4s as soon as I'm done with our current box of diapers. (he's about 20lbs now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769875 Thu, 09 May 2013 11:04:18 +0000 dolphin 769875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we switched LO to size 2 around that age. I'm not too sure when it's the "right" time to move up a size either but I remember I switched her when she was having WAY too many back diaper blow outs! LO is 13.5 pounds right now and still wearing size 2s and I have no idea when to move her to size 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769788 Thu, 09 May 2013 10:41:00 +0000 hilsy85 769788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the tabs to overlap in front. If I find that I am really pulling to make that happen, then I go up in size. I moved LO to size 3s even though he's only 15.5 lbs and 2s technically go up to 18lbs...I feel like a bigger diaper that's taped snugly is better than a smaller diaper that's stretched to fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769760 Thu, 09 May 2013 10:34:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 769760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both the front and the back to go up high (to mid back and to belly button) if the diaper isn't big enough to do that, then it's too small for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769745 Thu, 09 May 2013 10:30:46 +0000 Mrsbells 769745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I would not open the box of size 1s I would just go to size 2<br /> I usually just try the next size up when I am running out of a box and the current size feels a bit tight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769741 Thu, 09 May 2013 10:29:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 769741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved LO to size twos at 11 pounds. Probably should have bumped her up sooner, but I stubbornly wanted to use up our size ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769550 Thu, 09 May 2013 09:29:07 +0000 Bao 769550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you are questioning it now, then you probably won't go thru that entire box...LO moved up to size 2 around 3 months I think...maybe even a bit before :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769547 Thu, 09 May 2013 09:28:38 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 769547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Sweetie, Em is 12 pounds and in size 2 diapers. Has been for a full week. I'm thinking you need to return them ASAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-size-1#post-769545 Thu, 09 May 2013 09:27:20 +0000 Smurfette 769545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably a stupid question but how do you know you need to go up a size in diapers???</p> <p>R will be 2 months on Saturday and currently is in size 1. I just ordered a big box from Amazon but now I am wondering if we should go up once we go through the ones we have opened. She is lucky and inherited her Mom's chunky thighs so the diapers are tight on her legs but they don't seem uncomfortable to her. The waist still seems big on her. The tabs are still touching. We go on Tuesday for her 2 month appointment but I am guessing she is 11lbs since she was 9.14 at her one month, which was 5 weeks. </p> <p>I don't want to open the new box unless we will use the whole 234 diaper. </p>
