Around 21 months is when he started wearing them in the day time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1720065 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 01:24:31 +0000 birdofafeather 1720065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: it was really hard to figure out sizing when CDing!

My LO is 16 month and 23lbs. She's still in 3's at daycare and we just switched to 4's at home. 4's are a better fit at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719898 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:44:27 +0000 clover 1719898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a big boy...I think it was around 10 months/24lbs, still in them now at 14 months and not looking like he will need to move up anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719878 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 21:36:12 +0000 cascademom 1719878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: that's exactly how we do it.

(Or maybe I'm using diapers wrong!) We use 5s at night though for the extra absorbency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719487 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:55:15 +0000 HLK208 1719487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719478 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:48:19 +0000 JerricaBenton 1719478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months and only 23 lbs but we recently switched to 5s. She's tiny but she has a butt and a long waist. They don't fit perfectly but getting 4s to stay on was becoming impossible. I kinda can't believe she's in 5s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719421 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 18:17:43 +0000 cmomma17 1719421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My beefy 14 month old is wearing 5's!

I use 3's on L, and she's somewhere around 22/23 pounds. We mainly CD, but everyone once in awhile she uses disposables for babysitters, vacations, long weekends out, etc. The 3's don't last overnight, so now I wonder if it's because I've been using the diapers wrong. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719357 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:31:57 +0000 babynumber1 1719357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did switch. She was still in 4s when she potty trained at 20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1719057 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:47:54 +0000 MrsF 1719057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched at 21 months.

Dd was about 25 lbs. We first switched for nights and then dh mentioned that he thought they fit better. Dd is not necessarily a heavy baby/toddler but she is a little on the tall side. She could still fit a 4 if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718971 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:11:39 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1718971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: For us, I can still pretty much have the tabs touching on the front but I've found that they fit better length and width wise. Plus the added absorbency everyone else has mentioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718966 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:10:46 +0000 loveisstrange 1718966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: C was 29lbs when we switched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718962 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:09:42 +0000 dolphin 1718962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @RsMom: @NaturallyCathy: @coacheswife123: @loveisstrange: Thanks ladies! </p> <p>DD is 18 months and been in size 4 for the longest time. They still fit but I think the waist is getting a little snug so wondering if I should make the switch. Size 5 says 27lbs and up and DD is on the tiny side (20lbs at her last appt), so not sure if those will be huge on her. Hmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718948 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:06:36 +0000 loveisstrange 1718948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like 18-20 months?

DS is a skinny mini and was doing fine in 4s for the longest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718934 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:03:31 +0000 RsMom 1718934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS can still fit in size 4 at 25 months but he's in size 5 for the absorbency. He's just a little guy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-5-diapers#post-1718916 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:57:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1718916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 13 months?

And how much did they weigh when you made the switch? </p>
