    Question about medium size nappies

    Silly question from me again
    Have been researching sized nappies today, mediums are recommended for 6 - 11kgs.
    What is the average age of this size baby? Would these fit for some time generally?
    I know it's hard to answer, I just don't want to waste $$$ on nappies that bubs will grow out of in a hurry
    Thanks in advance.

    Mia is still in these and has been for months. I expect her to be in these for a while yet. SO yes.. Mia has been in them for a long time.

    My ds was six kilos at about 6 kilos at about 5months old and he's still not eleven kilos... I reckon they'll last a while!

    Mediums last my kids for aaaages. Kane wore them till around 19 months, and Harmony has been in them from about 11 weeks.... I can still get one on Kane without leaks if need be!!!

    My DD started to wear medium sized nappies from around 3 months (and even then was not on the tightest snap) and is still in them now at 11 months (she is about 9 and a half kilos) with alot of space to go (she is only about half way through the snaps). I dare say she will be in them still at the end of the year as her baby fat fades and she gets leaner as she becomes more mobile (she does not walk or crawl yet).

    I think that if you are looking at sized nappies, buying a 'medium' you should get 12 months wear out of them, sometimes less or more, depending on the childs build of course.

    Yeah I'd say they are in the mediums for the longest length of time.

    Aricyn is 28 months and he is still in mediums for Widdlewuns, ittis etc.

    Miss M is 9 months and in mediums, and has been since about... 6.5 months old I guess? So she'll be in it for ages, cos she's only 9kg now.
