I found that they had a lot of room in the butt for his cloth diaper but the legs weren't too huge and most could be rolled up or had elastic at the ankle so they didn't fall over his feet.<br /> I did find the sizes run big even on my chubby baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2072032 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 15:05:52 +0000 jhd 2072032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have jeans and khakis from the Children's Place that have adjustable waistbands. LO has been in the 12-18 month size since 6months for the length. He has always been 99% for length. Hoping we can stay in those until it gets warm enough for shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2072025 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 15:03:20 +0000 illumina 2072025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you put him in leggings? ;) I have a little girl and the ONLY thing that looks good on her is leggings. I've tried so many different jeans/joggers/cords/other types of trouser and they just don't seem to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2072023 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 15:02:34 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2072023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: lol! I guess I should have figured that! He actually is long in general but not long enough to up a size. Old navy does seem every short and wide. His old navy onesies make me laugh cause they look like high cut leotards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2072012 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:54:24 +0000 Tanjowen 2072012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: My LO has a very long torso and shorter legs. Circo works the best, but I still have that "gap" in the waist. My MIL ends up taking them and putting elastic in the waistband for me and so far it's worked great. Do you know a friend or family member that could do the same? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071975 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:24:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2071975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a long and lean girl, Circo was a good fit, Old Navy I usually rolled but they stayed up. Circo doesn't hold up the greatest but they were cheap. She's 2 1/2 and still doesn't wear jeans very often, only leggings/jeggings due to her skinny waist and long legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071968 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:22:30 +0000 BadgerMom 2071968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry @junebugsmama: since I have a string bean, I'm not sure about wide wasted short pants lol. I would try Old Navy and Gap, because I find those to be wayyy to short on my LO. He can still fit into 3-6mo Gap/Old Navy with his cloth diaper on, and he's in 9+ month in everything else with his cloth booty. Carter's tend to run long and narrow with regards to their suggested month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071951 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:17:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2071951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of the pluses of having a girl-- leggings are way more forgiving and if they are too long, they just bunch up at the ankle but usually don't get under her foot. And I don't have a long skinny kid-- she's got a big belly and average legs. Still have issues with pants fitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071949 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:17:19 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2071949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: my baby is only 2 mo but he's in cloth and he's chubby and I've had the hardest time with pants so far! The waist always seems too tight and so I tried on some 3-6 mo and the waist was the same almost and the pants just flapped around past his feet :)</p> <p>Any suggestions of the best cloth diaper fitting pants? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071938 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:14:58 +0000 namaste 2071938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Circo pants are the only ones that look right on A. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071873 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:36:26 +0000 BadgerMom 2071873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: That's ok! We do both, and I have to choose pants based on the diaper type. Unless I'm going for the "walking shorts" look, he can't wear Gap or Old Navy pants in a disposable diaper. Carters and Jcrew are the only ones that work, and they still don't fit super well.</p> <p>I'm really excited for shorts weather! We're going to Mexico next week and wearing disposables and I just figured out he can still fit into his 0-3mo Old Navy swim trunks, and all his 3-6mo shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071847 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:14:50 +0000 nana87 2071847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem with dd! Pants are either too short but fit in the waist, or the right length but fall off her butt. She's a skinny minny with long legs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071835 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:06:35 +0000 spaniellove 2071835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: Disposables...I kept trying CDs on him but could never get them to fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071813 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:55:33 +0000 twodoghouse 2071813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem with Blake. I generally opt for going a size down. They will be short and a little tight around his waist, but then they won't slip down and trip him while he's cruising the furniture. It looks a little ridiculous, but I just put socks on when it's cold and his ankles are covered. Also when I put him in shoes (soft soles) it helps keep his pants from falling over his feet so he can wear a more appropriate size. In the meantime, poor kid is rocking the hipster pants - above the ankle skinny jeans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071810 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:53:04 +0000 Mamasig 2071810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by the waist measurement because my guys are chubby. But then the legs are way too long so I roll them when I can. Honestly, I don't think boys look that great until they can walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071799 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:49:04 +0000 BadgerMom 2071799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right there with ya... Baby pants are not made for long skinny dudes. :bummed:<br /> Is he in cloth or disposable diapers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-baby-pants-supposed-to-fit#post-2071793 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:45:11 +0000 spaniellove 2071793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't laugh but I think I'm doing this wrong. </p> <p>Pants either don't have a high enough rise but the legs are too long (Carters 12m) or have a gigantic waistband but the legs are too short (Gap 6-12m). He has one pair of pants that sort of fits well, a pair of J.Crew sweatpants in 3-6m that has a high rise but are capri length on him now. Which measurement am I supposed to go by? Am I expecting the waist to be too high? If they aren't high enough they fall off when he sits. :bummed: And if they aren't long enough DH manages to pull the cuffs up to his thighs, so I just can't win. </p>
