I'm gonna go against the grain and say try some different ones. I have a med for my skinny minny and it's a terrible fit - so bad I'm going to onsell as I never see it fitting him.
Bundles of buns are similar to ittis but much more absorbant and fit heaps better.... IMO anyway.
I have only just started in cloth, and a friend lent me 4 small and they fitted on the largest setting, dd was just over 12 months at the time and was just on 7 kilos, I brought medium she is now 8.5 kilos at nearly 14 months, (she was sick at 12 month lost weight hence the 7 kilos). so dd would of been in smalls till around 11 month if I had started before then. I get some leg gap with mediums if not tight enough on.
Thanks all, now I just need to decide whether to try a medium, or just look for some other brands.....thanks Kim on the tip for Bundles of Buns....hadn't heard of them.

goodness lol I could name about 100 more if you like :P
Ooooh thank you missymoo.....more to hunt down....so hard to know what to try though. For a skinny babe, what would be your top 3 to recommend from experience? DS is long with skinny hips and legs and we'll need a decent rise as he manages to drag the nappies down when he kicks his legs around.
Thanks!
A size 1 Wild Child, minky ones are the best, they have pretty bling nappies too.
Or a Whizz Kidz, they are very versatile and have lasted Ash from a couple of months old till now and he still has HEAPS of room to grow.
Genesa Forge front snappers are great!! Or try a small side snapper. Her night nappies are awesome because you can add or remove boosters to make it for a heavier wetter or a day nappy
Cute Tooshes Bamboo Delights are great at that age too! We loved them and had a lot of them for the first 5 months.
Baby Beehinds one size and their minky magicalls are great! I prefer the minky to the smooth personally, but there is a store selling 6 smooth and 1 minky for $100 so let me know if you want the link
Well I ended up finding an IB d'lish in a large at a local second hand market for a bargain price, brand new too. Couldn't pass it up, thought lets see what it fits like. And would you believe its almost perfect!
MUCH better in the rise, lovely round the tum (with heaps of room to grow into as I can go to the outer snaps when necessary) and the leg gape issue seems to have been fixed now that the rise is better and DS can't kick it down so much. We'll just have to do the containment test now and see whether we get anything sneaking out LOL and see how they go for absorbency.
On another note, anyone got experience with the Wild Child Workhorse nappy?
