Nappy sizes? Please help!

[leanne_h_89]

So my LO is 14lbs now and he's thin and tall. The size two nappies (pampers) seem too short, like they're hanging off his bum! The size two's are 6lb-13lbs and size three are 9lb-15lbs.
Should I have them too small or too big? X

i always go up a size... pascoe is 15lbs and in size 3 at mo. once pack is finished though will be moving onto size 4...

My LO is in size 3 and his last weigh in he was 13lbs.

We moved up to size 3 at about 10lbs because we were peeing out of the size 2. No probs with size 3 baby dry at all... size 3 new baby on the other hand, don't get me started, leaking, smelly, sticking to bum.

That's great thanks. Just seems like they're a bit saggy in the crotch area and I'd really like a avoid unnecessary leakages.
I've been egar to get him to size 3's as all the better offers are never on the "new baby" ones but I prefer the net layer they have. Do you know of any other than new baby that have this? I got an orange pack I think pampers simply dry and then don't x

I think active fit have the layer. Ive not used them before though, i was waiting till LO was more mobile or they were on offer in the next asda baby event, lol i love a special offer.
I recommend the baby dry though, no layer but no leaks and super absorbent over night.

Never used the orange pack either so im not sure about them

 

[leanne_h_89]

We use the baby dry at night time as he seems to STTN with them. Don't use them all day I'm using new baby atm and I do prefer the net layer as his dirty nappies seem to be easier to clean.
I think the baby dry seem to be alot smaller than the new baby or simply dry we compared and the size 3's are like their 2's.

 

[leanne_h_89]

Yeah the active fit always seem to be more expensive. I'll maybe get some on my next double discount day at work.
I did try the asda's little angels and they have a net layer but I've only ever used 1 nappy out of the pack as LO had a crazy screaming fit as soon as it was on and then I swapped it back to pampers and he settled right away. He must have a snobby bum haha xx

 

[darkangel1981]

I know what you mean about the size. It says up to 20lbs on the packet.... im not seeing those nappies fitting a 20lb baby!!

My lo moved into size 3 when she was 13lbs ISH .. She's still in them at 15lb 8oz

 

[leanne_h_89]

Will my LO was 9lbs born but was still in size 1's for at least four weeks as the 2's swamped him and the tabs had to overlap.
I dunno where they get these guides from!
I know Costco does big boxes of pampers as I got some size 2 new baby ones think they were about £12 so same as the supermarkets. Just can't remember if they done other styles.
It's crazy how much nappies and formula costs per month!

 

[darkangel1981]

Yeah is expensive!! I got a mega box of baby dry from asda for £14 though which has 144 size 3 nappies in it... working out at about 10p a nappy i think!! its def worth buying the mega box when they have it in.

my lo is 12lb 10oz now and i tried a size 3 on him but it was hanging of him when he was wet. masive gaps between his butt and the nappy lol. certain size 2 brands fit him quite well, but his kinda inbetween sizes. i dont think a size 3 fits a 9lb baby tho...dunno how they think it wud x
