Thread: ? for mom's with big babies...

Alison, lol I hear ya! My husband and I went to the store the other day to get diapers because he was starting to not fit in his stage 2 anymore. When we got to the store we had to find "THE RIGHT" diaper size because I was getting sick of him leaking through. I thought, there is no way he can be in cruisers, he's to young! He can't even cruise around! lol...It seems as if our babies want to grow too fast! I thought I was...

lol, mine's in stage 3 diapers too! i didn't know what to do...my husband told me to get the "cruisers," but i was like "HE'S NOT CRUISING YET!" He's just huge! Mason has stubby legs...he can still fit his 0-3 month pants, but you're right, tight around the belly; i have to roll up the 3-6 month pants!

My DS1 was the opposite shape as the OP's child.? He was 27" and 15lbs at 2 months and in 6-9 month clothes by then.? He wore 3-6 month home from the hospital as a 23.5" newborn.? My DD started fitting 3-6 month clothes at 24"...? It all has to do with torso length really.

Same here.? My LO fits into sizes differently than what is recomended.? I just go by what fits her.? For some brands she is wearing 3mos and some she is wearing 6mos.? I think it is because she is long, so a lot of her clothes fit her in length, but are a bit loose aroud the belly.

my son is 9 weeks and weighs 13 1/2 lbs and 24 inches. He wears 3-6 mos in Old Navy clothes, but is still fitting perfectly in the 0-3 (3 month) Carter's clothes. I think it just depends on brand and fit...my guy is a bit long and skinny, and Old Navy's pants are just too short for him, whereas Carters has a longer, leaner fit. He's probably got a bit before he'll fit in their 6 months stuff.

My son is 15.6 pounds and 27 inches long..he fits in anywhere from 6-12 month clothing already since he is so long but its kinda baggy on him. He was wearing 3-6 months when he was a couple weeks old. He is going to be 11 weeks old now

My dd is 12 wks, about 14 lbs, and is in 6-9? mos clothing for most things because of her length... everything is too big on her width-wise, but she's too long for smaller stuff. Oh well. She's still in?1-2 Huggies though.

Baby clothing sizes are not exact, and they fit each child differently. Just like a size 14 would fit 10 different women in a different way, all those women being different weights, heights, proportions, shapes, and how they prefer to wear their clothing; you would get just the same difference in baby clothes. My son is 8 weeks, 13lbs and 25 3/4 inches long and wears size 9 months onesies and sleepers from Carter's, Osh Kosh, and Child...
