I go by the waist measurement because my guys are chubby. But then the legs are way too long so I roll them when I can. Honestly, I don't think boys look that great until they can walk.

@spaniellove: That's ok! We do both, and I have to choose pants based on the diaper type. Unless I'm going for the "walking shorts" look, he can't wear Gap or Old Navy pants in a disposable diaper. Carters and Jcrew are the only ones that work, and they still don't fit super well.

I'm really excited for shorts weather! We're going to Mexico next week and wearing disposables and I just figured out he can still fit into his 0-3mo Old Navy swim trunks, and all his 3-6mo shorts.

@BadgerMom: my baby is only 2 mo but he's in cloth and he's chubby and I've had the hardest time with pants so far! The waist always seems too tight and so I tried on some 3-6 mo and the waist was the same almost and the pants just flapped around past his feet

Any suggestions of the best cloth diaper fitting pants?

Sorry @junebugsmama: since I have a string bean, I'm not sure about wide wasted short pants lol. I would try Old Navy and Gap, because I find those to be wayyy to short on my LO. He can still fit into 3-6mo Gap/Old Navy with his cloth diaper on, and he's in 9+ month in everything else with his cloth booty. Carter's tend to run long and narrow with regards to their suggested month.

@spaniellove: My LO has a very long torso and shorter legs. Circo works the best, but I still have that "gap" in the waist. My MIL ends up taking them and putting elastic in the waistband for me and so far it's worked great. Do you know a friend or family member that could do the same?

Can you put him in leggings? I have a little girl and the ONLY thing that looks good on her is leggings. I've tried so many different jeans/joggers/cords/other types of trouser and they just don't seem to work!

@junebugsmama: I had good luck with h&m pants when my LO was younger (pre mobile age). I found that they had a lot of room in the butt for his cloth diaper but the legs weren't too huge and most could be rolled up or had elastic at the ankle so they didn't fall over his feet.
I did find the sizes run big even on my chubby baby.
