Hi. Can anyone tell me if there are particular brands or types of MCNs that are best for DD's body shape? She has a pot belly, slim hips and chunky thighs.
I am mostly using BBH AIOs and I find that if they are tight enough around her hips, they are too tight at the legs. I have a few Itti Bitti that seem a better fit but wonder if there are others I should try?
I'd prefer to stick with AIO or pockets for now. Any suggestions would be great - I love a good online window shop!
Bumgenius would be my best bet....they are a good all rounder
Hi. Sounds like my DD has a similar shape to yours - the narrower crotch fits her better as well. When I get my next paycheck I'm going to buy Natty some more itti bittis!
My fave-fitting pocket for Natty is the bubba J pocket. Its also pretty cheap from memory, but you need to buy the boosters separately.
We just got some second-hand naps today from Natty's cousin. The ones that look like they have a narrower crotch on them (but we haven't tried them yet so don't know how well they fit or whether we like them!) are Beetlebums (AIO) and Bluegum Babies (fitted - needs a cover). Have google. I've no idea of where SIL bought them. The beetlebum looks like it'll be a good nappy...
Good luck! I'll be watching this thread ;)
It sounds like your daughter has a similar shape to mine, round belly, slim hips and bum and very chunky thighs (got those from her mother,LOL). The nappies that fit her best are side snapping nappies as they have two rows of snaps and you can adjust the legs and tummy separately. Those with velcro or just one row of snaps don't fit quite right. As far a particular brands go the best fitting ones for her have been Swaddlebees pockets, they are awesome, and very trim. Also Peapods (strictly speaking they have front snaps but can also be adjusted independently), Itti Bittis are quite good even if they only have one row of snaps, Berryplush. There are also other brands that also have side snaps that I haven't tried yet.
If you're lucky Gigi will find this thread and help you. She is a fountain of knowledge.
i was going to suggest swaddlebees as well.
Thanks guys, that gives me something to work with. Much appreciated!
