So I'm having an issue with diapers, my son is 6m and I'm having to bump him up to size 6 already 😔 He's literally gone up a size each month. My issue is the fact my son is only about 25lbs and the size 5 (27+ lb diapers are too snug). Diaper companies say they measure babies of all sizes but what about the babies not shaped like those babies? Anyone else have this problem?
Side note if you live in VA I have a crap ton of cases of diapers for sale on CL and Letgo.
@angelao777 they are about the same as pull ups. They absorb great I haven't had one leak
@dylansmom pampers makes a size 7, I haven't seen any bigger than that. I do have a method I've used as a daycare provider that works pretty well. Just take a diaper and put it inside a pair of underwear (so it covers the essential areas like a maxi pad). It works great, it's like a pull up with more absorbency. Only downfall is when they poop you have to make sure you take the underwear off while supporting the diaper so nothing comes out. That's my go to plan if need be.
We have the same problem!! We r in a size 6 and from what i can c thats the biggest size ive seen and he is no where near potty training so what do u go to next when these dont fit??
@goodbyelullabye I seen those, are they absorbent like regular diapers or are they thinner like pull ups ? Thanks :)
@haley-lamb I used parents choice with our oldest but he pooped through them a lot. I was scared to use them again. I used pampers with our middle child but they've gotten thinner since then and I didn't try them this time around
@bonbonmomma I wondered about those too, he has such a round waist I wonder if I'll have the same problem. It's hard to find pants and shorts that fit right, everything is so snug. I thought about using the cloth training pants for toddlers with a plastic cover
@haley-lamb I only did Huggies for the rewards but since they changed their program I stopped. I liked the snugglers with pooh print but they were too expensive.
Why not do cloth if ur having such a problem?
@mommysbabies My son is the same size but he can only crawl backwards 😄 I'm hoping he thins out a little when he's mobile....he has so many clothes he never got to wear. He can still fit some 9m shirts but mostly wears 12m and 18m clothes.
@haley-lamb I though about it but I don't wanna buy the same size for them not to fit. I have size 6 target diapers coming tomorrow. I had him in Size 5 Luvs I got for my baby shower. I prefer Target brand but he went through those so quickly too. They have a larger weight gap but he's always bigger waist wise every brand we've tried (huggies, target, pampers, and luvs).
My son was leaking out of his but yeah once my son started crawling he started to loose weight then only slowly gain
OK now I don't feel so bad thanks :) I hope he does! @mommysbabies
My son is in size six too he is 26 pounds but keep the diapers when he starts crawling and walking he will slim down too
What size clothes and diapers
What size clothes and diapers are your babies in? My Dd is about to move in to 12 month clothes and fits in size 5 diapers. She probably could have stayed in size 4 a while longer but she kept having poop explosions so we moved her up!
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Diaper rash picture in comments!
My son has had a small little rash under his little sac for about 3 weeks now. I have been putting Desitin on it every diaper change. It feels very dry and it's hard. It has become bigger it started off like the size of a skittle now it's like the size of 2 quarters. I don't know what it is. He has an appointment on the 15th. Do any of you mommas have an idea I'm out of things to put on it.
What size diaper is your baby wearing and how old are they? My son is 18 weeks and just started size 3
@goodbyelullabye ok thanks :)
