He was 33.5lbs at his 2 year and we've continued to use them but not nearly as much due to leaks. I'm sure he's at least 35/36lbs now and nowhere near ready t potty train. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2015359 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 14:54:10 +0000 ohapostrophe 2015359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our BG 4.0's lasted until potty training at 27m and for overnight wear for another 6ish months. Honestly I think I could still get one on my almost 4 year old bc of how long and skinny he is! He's 36-38ish lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2015258 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 13:44:14 +0000 sweetpea612 2015258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: one thing to keep in mind is that even if the size works, you may have to start changing more often because of the amount they pee. My 18mo daughter is on the smaller side (between 10-20th percentile), and we use BumGenius AIO on her. They still fit her fine, but if we dare go just 15 min more than 2 hours w/o changing her, the diaper will leak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2015147 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 12:52:14 +0000 pui 2015147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just to update my DD was weighed today and was 16lbs 4oz, so still below the 18lb estimate for the size 1s! Her thighs are super chunky though lol.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your experiences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2015035 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 11:49:12 +0000 cvbee 2015035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: size 3 is probably more for kids with special needs that take longer to potty train. </p> <p>I am using bum genius one size diapers and they are great for my 2.5 year old at 32 pounds. He only wears them at night time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2014653 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:22:17 +0000 ValentineMommy 2014653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2, is 30 pounds, and 3' tall. We have bumgenius and rumparooz and he's on the largest setting, but still has plenty of room in them. I doubt he will outgrow them before potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2014647 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 07:16:24 +0000 lamariniere 2014647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: For the moment, my DD is under the 10th percentile, so it looks like we have a long way to go before outgrowing mediums! I kind of hope she will get some wear out of the larges though, especially since I bought some pink ones months ago when I saw them on super sale! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2014618 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:29:39 +0000 sandy 2014618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: if she's petite I'm sure you'll be able to make the mediums work until she's 2 or very close to 2. My LO has always been around 70-80th percentile on the growth charts so she's not tiny and we were able to keep her in mediums until a week past her 2nd birthday when we decided to try potty training. they were kind of looking small for her but no leaks or anything even overnight. I kind of wanted to keep her in them for naps and nighttime bc they worked so well but I started using pull ups and called them "night night underwear" so we could keep the potty training process moving along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2014612 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 02:04:29 +0000 lamariniere 2014612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: oh wow, you only made it to mediums! I wonder how many sizes we need for DD since she is SO petite compared to DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2014594 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 00:28:34 +0000 sandy 2014594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: we used gdiapers too and loved them!</p> <p>My LO was not a tiny baby so we started in the size small gdiaper and she was in those for a few months. We moved pretty quickly to the size medium and stayed in them until she was potty trained (right after she turned 2). I think she was about 25lbs at that time. They were a pretty tight fit but they worked great. I love gdiapers so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2013703 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:17:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 2013703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is almost 2 years 4 months, we haven't potty trained yet but she still fits comfortably in bum genius (4.0 and freetime), blueberry pockets. Grovia AI2 and her BestBottoms are getting a little tight but still fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2013698 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 13:13:43 +0000 Veggiemama 2013698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Yep, so far mine have lasted until potty training for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2013642 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:41:16 +0000 pui 2013642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well same with the Applecheeks diapers, they are rated 35lbs+</p> <p>I wanted to see what other parents' experiences were/if they really lasted up to potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2013638 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 12:38:48 +0000 littlejoy 2013638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: My baby is 1, so no.

I think also it depends on the shape of the child. My DS is growing out of size 1's because he's got some thighs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012375 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:13:54 +0000 Veggiemama 2012375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used my BG 4.0's (one size) for the past 2 1/2 years, still going strong on my 28# LO, they're on the second to last set of snaps. My 4 y.o. wears them at night occasionally (he's 36ish pounds). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012373 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:13:11 +0000 jetsa 2012373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use freetimes and he's almost 16 months and 26 lbs and still on the middle rise. I easily think they'll last through potty training and kid #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012358 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:06:48 +0000 meredithNYC 2012358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Bumgenius 4.0's and they lasted my LO until 2.5, which is when we potty trained. She's very tall with an average build. I want to say she was about 30 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012351 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 16:06:21 +0000 autumnlove 2012351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: at almost 3 and 29-30lbs. I still put her in a diaper overnight occasionally when she doesn't want to pee before bedtime. I guess they still fit on the last snaps but LO says they are "too tight" and uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012337 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:57:38 +0000 blackbird 2012337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, E is not even 2 and still has room in her BG AIO's so I totally expect them to last another year. They go up to 35 lbs I think. My friend's 3 year old (who is a big boy!) wears them just fine. And he is quite the chunk :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012326 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:52:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2012326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it all depends on when you potty train...but my 22 month old is 30 lbs and the BG elementals still fit. I have one more snap I can open, so yes I would say they should fit most kids to potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012323 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:51:14 +0000 pui 2012323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: The AppleCheeks size 1s were supposed to fit 7lbs-18lbs. DD was 8lbs 2oz when she was born and fit the size 1s at 5 days old not snapped all the way on the bottom snap, so so far their weight estimates seem pretty accurate to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012322 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:49:54 +0000 avivoca 2012322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H is 15 months and weighs 20 lbs. I can't imagine that she will outgrow her diapers before potty training, especially her AppleCheeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012319 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:48:02 +0000 pui 2012319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: How old was your LO when she would not fit anymore? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012316 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:46:44 +0000 autumnlove 2012316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is potty trained and out of diapers but her BGs wouldn't work on her anymore. 30lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cloth-diapered-up-to-what-age-did-your-diapers-last#post-2012315 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 15:46:31 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2012315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use one size rumparooz and lo has been in them since he was 4 months old (about 14lbs) and at 22 months and 22 lbs he is still in the medium size. We still have plenty of room to grow into them, and he will hopefully be potty trained long before he outgrows them. They are advertised as being small enough for a 6lb newborn, so we will see how that goes when this baby gets here in a few weeks. They are supposed to go to 35lbs. I have read lots of reviews where people complain that their babies dont fit in them, but I have also read reviews that say that people who complain about this just aren't putting them on right, which seems more plausable to me. I don't know about 35lbs, but lo could easily put on 10 more pounds and still fit in them. We have only had to change the snap settings once from 14-22 lbs. </p>
