    what size???

    Mia is a month old now and around 3.9 - 4 kilos. Shes still in newborn nappies. They say they are meant to fit them until they are 5 kilos but i cant see that happening.

    So whos bubs wore what and what weight? oh im talking about huggies nappies too. I just dont know if its worth getting another box of newborns or going to the next size up. but isnt the next size up from 6kg?

    I found huggies started to leak when they were getting to small.

    Jacob i think was out of them at 4.4kg to the next size.

    snugglers small go to 8kg.

    pampers are also great 4 - 7 kg or 4 - 9 kg

    You could get a small packet of NB to see you through or a small packet of the next size up to check for fit. It's hard trying to judge when they are at that stage where they are borderline for sizes.
    At least if you get them and they are too big she will use them later on!

    The ALDI newborn ones are bigger than the Huggies Newborn - and the price is comparable to buying a Huggies box. the ALDI ones are great for when you are 'in-between' Huggies sizes.

    I found I could put X in infant size at just over 4kg (and he started doing really big explosive poos so it was just in time!) and it worked well - even though I might have still squeezed into the newborn size. Agree that getting a small packet to tide you over is good. I ended up changing because I wasn't game to get another packet of the newborns, so I just went the next size up.

    I had Alex in 'crawlers' at about 4kg - and i think their weight is supposed to be 8kg or somehting.
    They worked fine for us, and no issues with leaks etc. We changed to cloth soon after.

    I always just went on what fitted tbh, didnt pay any attention to the weights. Also DS was a big weer so he was always in a bigger size nappy than suppose to be and that worked.
