clothing for cloth nappies

[Visitor8]

wow I have always had to size up Ash wouldn't fit in 000 suits at 2 weeks old because of that butt! (MCN not flats)

Even now, he is in a 2 just for the rise, and because it takes me 10 minutes to get the pants over his butt. He is most certainly not in a 2 in length

I think this is a problem for boys and/or trousers, even with MCN. They are quite a bit bulkier than disposables no matter what anyone says.

Every time I buy pants for my son I have to take them back and swap them, but the larger sizes tend to be way too big around the waist. It's a never ending problem I've had with clothes. He's never been a plump boy, he was a very skinny baby so back then it was really dramatically impossible to buy clothes that fit so mostly he got around with half his nappy sticking out, gangstar!

I think now he's a toddler I can buy bigger sizes and rely on a belt or something. Actually, I thought about buying braces in winter with a jacket over the top he won't take them off and they'll hold up bigger pants. What do you think, is that a good idea? I wonder if I could find any in his size.

I hope I have a girl next time round just for the clothes over cloth issue.

I have to say that I never really have an issue here either?

We had a little issue using fitteds and covers, but never really with MCN.
The only issue we have had with MCN is at night with a night nappy on.

She was always chubby, not sure if thats got anything to do with it.

We haven't really had much trouble, I find that the rise on PP is a bit short for MCN's we use mostly a trim MCN, but I don't mind if the fluff pops out the top a bit

But other than that most clothing works fine for us

Where are you all shopping if you have never had these problems? Where can you buy nice jeans, shorts or cords with zippers and buttons (not elastic waists) that fit?

I find Pumpkin Patch, Cotton On Kids and every expensive branded item Jude's ever been given as a gift (Fred Bare, Bebe etc) to be very slim fitting and low rise. The problem then is that the waist band sits over the nappy and doesn't come back in at the waist and the pants, therefore, fall off. Tracksuit pants, shorts and leggings with elastic waists are not such a problem.

My little bogan will just have to wear tracky dacks until toilet training.
