R is still a little thing. She was weighed at the doctor today whe we went for her cold. She only weighs 12.7lbs at almost 4 months. But she is having more poop explosions and tonight had another diaper leak. Which stinks cause we are getti g such little sleep and I think it woke her up.
We need to buy more diapers this weekend. But are size 3 going to swallow her?? Size 2 tabs still touch each other in the middle.

We moved to size 3 at about 13 lbs. IIRC, the package says they are for 15 lbs+. I don't think we moved too early because the size 3s seem to fit just fine... they are also longer in the back so that would probably help with your poop explosions!

We moved up when DS was about 6 months old. I remember them looking huge but they contained everything. It can't hurt to buy some and try them. If they end up being to big, you can put them away until she gets a little bigger.

I feel like we moved pretty early... Maybe around 4-5 months? She still wears them at 14 months, so even if you have to put them away for a while, they won't be wasted!
ETA: I just checked her weight, and at 4 months 10 days she was 13 lbs 10 oz. I think we must have moved to 3s around then, because I remember her being quite a bit under the weight range.

We're about 15 lbs and I'm still using them during the day (bc I still have a pack to use) but switched to 3's at night, and when we travel.

@Smurfette: Maybe it's the actual diaper & not the sizing? Sadie is 4.5 months & somewhere between 14-15 pounds, and is fitting perfectly in her 2's. The tabs are still touching for her too, so I know they fit. Someone gifted us a pack of Huggies & she had a crazy random poopsplosion at a restaurant a couple weeks ago! So, we don't use Huggies anymore (they worked fine when she was in N's and 1's!). We have had a lot of success with Target brand. She wears Swaddlers during the day & Target at night!

We use sposies at night and LO is 14.25 lbs and we only just switched to size 2s! The tabs overlap. It might have to do with shape too though, because she's long, 25.5 in, so her belly isn't very big. She definitely has blowouts occasionally in sposies but I think it has to do with position. If she has a big poop while she's on her tummy, it pretty much always comes out the front. I'm sure you do, but do you adjust the inner elasticky bit? I schooled my husband in flipping out the ruffles but I noticed when he didn't pull out that little underwear type lining, if she pooped it would come out the side.

We moved earlier than the package suggested, I think around 12 lbs. We were having way too many leaking issues and poop explosions. Girlfriend can fill a diaper.

I have a lot of experience with big diapers since I have a preemie and it's not a problem for the diapers to be big...you can fold the front down. We are still in 2's at around 13 pounds.
I use pampers swaddles and have never had a real leak, sometimes just a touch. I know this sounds obvious, but also make sure enough of the diaper is up her back!

We switched when he was around three and a half months and probably 15 pounds, because of all the poop explosions. Honestly though, I've never had good luck with diapers containing everything...we've tried different sizes, different brands, and Pampers Cruisers seem to do the best job, but we still have leaks. I'm seriously considering cloth diapers for our next baby...
But like PP said, if you buy and they don't work, you can always just set them aside for when she does eventually fit into them!

I don't think we moved to 3s until LO was around 7/8ish months? She is on the small side, too (she was 17lbs 9oz at her appointment 2 weeks ago at 9.5 months). I don't know if any diaper can be big enough to contain the poops that go totally up their backs!

@Mrs Green Grass: She is leaking more on the sides, around her thighs, not the back.

@Smurfette: then bigger might work? It's worth a shot and you can always switch back!

@Smurfette: Maybe the leg openings are too big for her lil' bitty thighs?

@Mrs Green Grass: Yeah I think that I am going to go buy a small pack this weekend to try out.
@MsLipGloss: She has chunky thighs so that is actually where they are the tightest on her.
