I think we switched over to 1's at about 9 lbs. They look big at first, but then a few days later you'll accidentally grab a NB size dipe that got left behind in your diaper bag and wonder how LO ever fit in something so small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1191283 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 15:14:49 +0000 singingbee 1191283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that's good to know. I didn't want to open a new pack of newborns when I was on the fence about sizing. I'm going to have to exchange two packs of newborns--one I know definitely came from target so they will take them back, but the other one I'm not sure about. If not, I'll save it and gift it to someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1191225 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:58:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 1191225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, we've been moving her up when it seems kind of close and it's just about time to buy new diapers. We figure, if we buy the size up, and they are too big, we just save them and buy a small pack of the smaller. If we buy a bunch of the smaller ones and they quickly become too small, they we still have to buy the big ones and can't use the little ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190914 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:21:55 +0000 Alivoo01 1190914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190777 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:46:50 +0000 banana 1190777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Size 1! The crotch area looks baggy when it's dry but once it fills up, it won't be so baggy anymore. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190741 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:35:40 +0000 singingbee 1190741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: I bet your cloths are going to be adorable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190738 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:35:16 +0000 singingbee 1190738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: that's what I was worried about!!! So big on her, but she fills them up and seems to not have any red marks on her legs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190735 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:34:38 +0000 avivoca 1190735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: We had a few leaks in the NB..so far, none in size 1. But I am looking forward to getting into our cloth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190722 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:32:16 +0000 ladybee 1190722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: they look huge on them but I think he's more comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190707 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:28:36 +0000 singingbee 1190707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!! I knew in my heart we probably should be in 1's but it's nice to hear it from others.</p> <p> @ladybee: and @evansjamie: the newborns were starting to leave marks on her too, so it's better that we are moving up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190704 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:27:35 +0000 KT326 1190704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to size 1's pretty early as well. We had less blowouts. Granted, we still had them but not as frequently :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190697 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:26:18 +0000 ladybee 1190697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched to 1s last night. NB were leaving red marks on his little thighs. Plus poop was everywhere and we've had a few leaks. So far 1s have been much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190696 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:25:40 +0000 Smurfette 1190696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to size 1's and they were huge on her but the newborn were soo tight on her chunky thighs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190683 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:22:43 +0000 Bookish 1190683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We size up early because she is so long and has chunky thighs. I want to say G was in newborn for about 2 weeks? Then we switched to 1s, and she's been in 2s since maybe 2.5 mos? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190674 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:20:54 +0000 edelweiss 1190674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd go with size 1--less chance of leaking or blowouts. we knew we had stayed with a size too long when we got a few leaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190673 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:20:07 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1190673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had LO in size ones at 10lbs 22".<br /> I've found that sizing up early works for us. DD has big thighs and the smaller size was always short in the bum first.</p> <p>I think you'll be good in size ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190670 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:19:37 +0000 avivoca 1190670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Size 1. We just bought a pack of NB, but they were sooooo tight and left marks in her belly and legs. The ones are much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-to-use#post-1190657 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:17:33 +0000 singingbee 1190657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So LO is 9 lbs 3 oz. she is pretty long at 20.5 in 2 weeks ago. </p> <p>We have a couple of newborn packages left over Nandi even exchanged some to get some more, but now I'm wondering if I should just put her in size 1's. She wore a couple of size 1's last night and they seem to be okay. The crotch looks a little big, but the newborns seem to barely cover her entire bottom in the back. We didn't have any blowouts or leaks (knock on wood). What do you recommend we do? </p> <p>Sidenote: I feel like this should be an obvious answer, but FTM here. :) </p>
