Buy small packs of a few and see how they go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-sizing-how-quickly-to-move-up#post-1898258 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:27:12 +0000 Myicitygirl 1898258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: he also moved up very quickly to size 2 and then size 3. But his growth has plateaued now. I need to buy some more big boxes but am hesitant to buy size 3 and then have extra diapers.</p> <p>@Tanjowen: he has a short, wide butt, so the elastic back band of the Huggies provides a better fit around the waist. He was in pampers for size 1 and 2 and he kept giving me the plumber's butt crack. Which is scary with newborn poop </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-sizing-how-quickly-to-move-up#post-1898251 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:18:48 +0000 Tanjowen 1898251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you are willing to switch diaper brands, but I feel that Pampers fit my LO a little looser and the Huggies are snug. We have been in Pampers size 3 since about 5 months (my LO was 19 lb.s at his 6 month appointment). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-sizing-how-quickly-to-move-up#post-1898244 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:14:54 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1898244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved from size 2 to size 3 pretty quickly- I think she was maybe 14lbs when we moved to size 3. But we've been in size 3 for the last 6 months at least.<br /> Can you alternate? Maybe do size 3 at night when he's (probably) not pooping but you need a better fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-sizing-how-quickly-to-move-up#post-1898240 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:09:38 +0000 Myicitygirl 1898240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my 5 month old weighed in at 16 lbs two weeks ago. He was wearing size 3 Huggies but he kept leaking poop up his back and they felt a little snug. I tried size 4 but sometimes poop leaks down the leg holes because they gape a little.</p> <p>Size 3 weight range starts at 16 lbs and size 4 at 22 lbs. is it too early to move up to size 4? Anyone else move up a size well before their LO hit the low end of the weight range? </p>
