I switch her to a new size before the weight limit.</p> <p>Sometimes you can also tell once the tabs start not reaching so far anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438882 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:45:30 +0000 chrispygal 438882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would get poopie blow outs and that would usually be a sign for us to move up. She's still in size twos even though her weight is over the limit. They are snug but not leaking so we are holding off until we finish this pack. That being said, I am stocking up on some size 3's today. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438789 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:44:46 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 438789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Size 1s and 2s seem so far away! At two weeks old, LO is still on preemies. Such a skinny butt! The store is always out of this size, so I'm looking forward to newborn diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438726 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 23:56:17 +0000 sarac 438726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leaks. Then she moves to the next size, which is hilariously large. But no more leaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438713 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 23:14:00 +0000 sera_87 438713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weight &amp; red marks. And I'm always shocked at how big they are when I go up a size ;)</p> <p>I found there was some overlap between size 1 &amp; 2 - in pampers at least. Size 1 ended at 14lbs but size 2 started at 12lb (I think...), which was nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438702 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:51:56 +0000 prettylizy 438702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she gets red marks from them being too tight on her legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438697 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:36:03 +0000 eeh 438697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we're getting anywhere close I use up what we have then go up a size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438690 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:27:18 +0000 CarrieLouWho 438690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know! The 2s seem big, but I know the 1s did when she started in them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438671 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:57:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 438671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i usually went up a size before the max weight. it's better to have the diaper be a little too big than a little too small. they outgrow 1 and 2 quickly, but will stay size 3 for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438659 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:50:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 438659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she had red welts from the diaper being too tight, lol. it couldn't get any looser and stay on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438144 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:34:49 +0000 babynumber1 438144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When her little butt starts to show when she leans over, or when she had red lines on her legs from the diapers. </p> <p>We always have to size up in the middle of a pack. There is a girl at work that loves me since I brign her so many diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438091 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:09:50 +0000 CarrieLouWho 438091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @mrs.wagon and @winniebee! 2 weeks ago I bought a giant box of 1s (oops!). We haven't had leaks, but since the 1s say they go up to 14 lbs, I thought we'd be able to get through this pack. Guess I will be donating the 1s to a friend :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438090 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:09:48 +0000 Thenetexan 438090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leaks along with being close on weight for the next size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438062 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:02:55 +0000 winniebee 438062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually know roughly what he weighs so go up when he reaches the weight limit on that diaper. </p> <p>I think size 2 starts around 12 lbs so your LO is probably ready to go up.</p> <p>Also, I have a rule that if we are on the fence and I'm in need of new diapers, I just buy the next size up : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438053 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:01:17 +0000 mrs. wagon 438053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we start getting leaks once a day I go up a size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-go-up-a-diaper-size-in-disposables#post-438046 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:58:40 +0000 CarrieLouWho 438046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you know when to go up a diaper size (in disposables)?</p> <p>LO is 8 weeks old and has been in size 1s since birth. I'm not sure how much she weighs, but she was 10 lbs 3 oz at her one month check up 4 weeks ago. Today, I noticed that the 1s may be getting too small? </p>
