I started her in 2T in September, but am already noticing that things are getting short. So, I see a move to 3T in her future (at least for shirts and leggings). Girl needs to slow down on the growing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1181258 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 09:02:12 +0000 808love 1181258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, LO is about 2.75 yrs and she stayed in 12-18 for awhile. She's going to be a 2T for awhile though. When you move out of diapers the pants will fit even longer as well since there is not so much padding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180948 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:50:23 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1180948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I have a friend whose boys are 2 years apart, and for a while the oldest was wearing the youngest's hand-me-downs! Ellie usually takes a year or so, but seems to size out of shirts the fastest. Lorelei is in 2T already. Bummer because with her being smaller than Ellie was at that age I bought mostly `18-24 month bottoms, and we'll need to get more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180859 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:07:13 +0000 littlek 1180859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is 16.5 months old, 14 months adjusted and I feel like he's going through a growth spurt. He just moved to 12 - 18 months and the pants are already a tad bit short. Tops seem to be fine though. I thought he would be in 12 - 18 monhs for a long time based on how long he was in 6 - 12 months, but I think I am wrong. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180784 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:58:49 +0000 loveisstrange 1180784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has definitely slowed down in growth. She hasn't gained any weight in 3 months, although she has gotten taller. She's been in 24m for about 3 months now and we've bought her some 2T fall/winter stuff that will be baggy this year but hopefully fit next year too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180779 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 02:45:18 +0000 erinpye 1180779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S has definitely slowed down compared to her first year of growth. She's 18 months old and has been in 2T for a while now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180762 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:51:05 +0000 HLK208 1180762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS, who has pretty much always been in the 20th percentile for height and weight, was in 12-18 months until he was 2 and 24-2T for a year and a half. He has always been year behind in sizes - they just don't fit his waist really. He is 4.5 and wearing mostly all 4T clothing now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1180760 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:41:19 +0000 lamariniere 1180760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy big, depending on brand, at least one size up. When he was about 18 months, I bought a bunch of 4T long sleeve t shirts which he just finally grew out of this summer at 2.5, so they lasted more than a year. I'm now buying 6T and just rolling up the sleeves. DS is on the higher end of the height and weight charts though, but I feel like his growth is definitely slower now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179918 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:19:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1179918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M. just hit a growth spurt and pretty much skipped 18-24 month clothes. We're doing 2T now, which is hard because her sister hasn't outgrown all the 2T's yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179912 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:17:56 +0000 T-Mom 1179912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 2 and still in 12-18 month and 18-24 month pants, but 2T tops. He is longer torsoed, so I expect him to stay behind a year in bottoms and keep up with his age in tops, unless something changes. My DD is 5 both taller and heavier on the growth charts and she follows the standard sizing pretty much, if not moving onto the next size a few months early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179894 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:12:34 +0000 Mrsbells 1179894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is 18 m and fits into both 18m clothing and 12m. Some 12m pants are too short and the 12m sleepers are tight but onesies and dresses still fit fine in both sizes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179889 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 16:10:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 1179889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is also 20 months. She's petite and still mostly in 12-18 clothing, although it does depend on the brand. Most of her clothes are baby Gap, and she still fits into 12-18 athough some 18-24 is starting to fit (most of it still slides right off). In Old Navy, she actually wears a 18-24. In Gymboree and Janie &amp; Jack, she's a 12-18... and in Carter's she's an 18. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179292 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:22:51 +0000 looch 1179292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was in 18-24 months when he was about 20 months old, when he turned 2 he was wearing at least 3T in tops but could still wear a lot of his 18-24 month bottoms. By the end of the winter he was solidly in 2T pants.</p> <p>For the summer, I bought him mostly 3T tops and he was able to use 2T bottoms. Now, we're at 4T in tops and 3T in bottoms.</p> <p>He's about 75% for height and 66% for weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/once-you-child-was-18m#post-1179276 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:19:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1179276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did they stay in clothing sizes?</p> <p>I thought J, who is 20 months, would be in 18-24m by now but he's been in 12-18 since July and definitely is not growing into 18-24 anytime soon. He probably won't be in it until next summer, and the fall/winter I bought him for this year in the bigger sizes will probably fit next fall! ha. </p> <p>His growing has slowed significantly.</p> <p>Once your child was 18+ (or maybe 2year+) how long did they stay in specific sizes?</p> <p>I guess I always assumed that once they hit 2T they'd stay in it for a year then move up - but mine just might take longer than that. </p>
