size 4 nappies...what age?

[amandad192]

roughly what age did your LO's go into size 4 nappies?
Asda baby event starts on the 20th and I want to stock up on nappies. Liam is 12 weeks and at 11 weeks weighed 12lb 2oz. He's in size 3 atm but I don't want to buy more than what I'm going to need. How long do you think he will be in size 3 for?
Thanks in advance.

my son is in size 4 now and hes 21 months lol.

Check the highest weight on the size 3's and the lowest weight on the size 4's because they do tend to last alot longer as they get older my son has been in 4's for what seems like forever but i cant remember exactly when he went into them possibly when he turned 1? but i cant say for definate lol

I got about 600 size 3 at the end of the last baby event. Anna is 12 lbs-still in size 2 but we only have about 1 weeks worth left so will be in size 3 soon. So, I have enough to get her to 6 mnths anyway!!

Pampers baby dry size 3 say up to 20 lbs

My LO is in size 4 now at 4 and half months! She weighs nearly 17lb..

She had been in size 3's since about 10 weeks then 2 weeks ago started leaking again so put her in 4's and is fine now. The lowest weight for 4's is 7kg which she is..

I have a large unopened packet of size 3's pampers because I thought she'd be in them for ages...

My advice would be to not buy toooo many because you never know when they'll grow out of them.. There will always be offers..

what age is it best to stop using newborn pampers?. LO is 8 weeks and now in size 3 newborn, can i use other size 3 nappies? What is best?

I stopped using newborn nappies quite quickly because they are in them longer and think the baby dry ones are more absorbant. At 8 weeks my LO was sleeping 8-9 hours a night so newborn nappies weren't enough. She was in baby dry by then.

I only used newborn size 1 pampers then went onto huggies and babydry pampers - just check the weight ranges on them

8-9 hours sleep, only something i can dream of!!. I think i will change nappies then, so i can at least drop the nappie changes, if i can't drop the feeds lol.

It fact it might help because it might not wake him quite so much if i don't have to change his bum!. Last weigh in he was 12lb7, so i don't think he will be to far off 13lb now, will size 3 baby dry fit do you think?

My LO is coming up 6 months and shes still in size 3.

what is the Asda event ?????
Keira is 7 months old and is in size 3 nappies, stock up anyway hun cos you will use them sooner or later won't you, I got a pack of size 4 here and when she has finished all the size 3s she has left I will give them ago see if they fit a little better.

I also found that Pampers, huggies and all the makes are good for weaning babies, but for newborn I found that they didn't hold the soft *coughs* poo and kept having to cut her out of her clothes and it would be everywhere, where are the little angel nappies held all her outgoings to put it nicely just fine and no proplems with leaking x

I think you should try baby dry. Size 3 starts from 9lb so your LO is well within the range, and like you say, you may not have to change him so much. I didn't change my LO in the night when she fed, only if she pooed. I felt confident the nappy would be ok till morning. She didn't get sore either.

Good luck!

tbh i wouldnt do buy to many coz i did that n had to give mine away LO was in size 4 for about a month and they just didnt fit nice went to size 5 and their brill !

Earl is just coming up to 6 months and is in 4+ in the day and 5 at night.

I was told to use the bottom weight in the braket as your guide. Earl is around 21lb now. 4+ goes from 20lb, 5 from 24lb but he needs the extra padding at night lol

Same here, we had a whole box of 3's we didn't use! Sometimes it's not just the baby weight that can be a factor we changed Nicholas over as he was doing bigger wee's and needed changing more often even though the 3's still fitted him as he's slim.

John is in 3's now, but will probably be in 4's by next month (he's very tall, already outgrown his 6 month footed stuff)

 

[lorna84]

We use Asdas little angels & Emilie is in size 4

Jack has been in size 4 pampers baby dry since about 5 months - we probably would have moved up earlier, but we had loads of size 3 to use as i thought he would be in them for longer. So we were squeezing him into size 3 when he was 19lbs but it was a bit tight.

I can't see how size 4 go up to 40lbs though - they are bigger but they don't seem THAT big??
