Question about fit of MCNs

Ittis can go a fair way - I think their trimness is deceiving. DS can fit into the mediums and he's nearly 2.5 years old. A lot of it has to do with the body shape though - he's long and lean, so generally I can get a lot longer out of my mediums than someone else can who has a chubba bubba. Narrowness in the crotch is good for some babies though - my kids really suit them. They get severe camel's toe from wide crotch nappies (although this doesn't effect their absorbency or anything, and they don't appear to be annoying them, so it doesn't stop me from using them!)

About the snaps digging in - thats a chubba bubba issue I think - one of the other girls had that issue too. I don't cos I wish mine were chubba bubbas!!!

Yeah, she's got some serious chub on those thighs, lol. I was thinking it was a bit wide in the crotch making it fold in a bit near the legs sort of so the snaps are like on the side of it digging into her leg rather than on the front if that makes any sense. And now I'm worried about the IB being too narrow, pmsl, can't win!
It's probably not too narrow though bc today she was wearing it and had a poo explosion. She was sitting up and it somehow exploded out of the top of the nappy at the front!! There was just too much, lol. But there were no leaks around the legs at all which I would have expected so it must be fine.

where abts r u? maybe there'll b some nice clothies who'd be happy to show u their stash so u can see what fits & what dont?

crotch is itti is 11cm, BG is 15cm...swaddlebee (sized) is 13cm, maybe give that a try? besides side-snappers allow u to adjust waist & thigh separately.

ur bub is 7kg already?! my 8mth old has only just hit 8kg!!

SJ - you could always come up here for a visit and check out my stash. I have a few different brands

I have 2 swaddlebees too - one is a medium, so you are more than welcome to see if that fits well. Its a side snapper so its awesome here. no wing droop!
