    Red face How small are they??

    I was just wanting to know how small you ladies think the Itti Bitti D'lish's are?? I was reading that the smalls are small but some have gotten away with just getting all mediums to start off with. I am about to put in my first order for IB's and was think that maybe I should just get a bakers dozen of both small and medium and then go from there, but when I was reading the sizing and it said that some have gotten away with just mediums on a 4kg bub!!

    Hope someone can help me!!!

    Harmony grew out of her smalls very fast.... and was in mediums by around 6 wks, I think... they still fit her great now, and Kane wore mediums till around 19-20 months!!!

    You will definatly get heaps of wear outta mediums.. I found the smalls a waste of money... I used fitteds, and terry flats with covers...

    It's a hard call! Smalls didn't fit Ruby till she was about 6 weeks old and well over 4 kilos. They still fit well now though we are having rise issues so she's becoming too long for them.

    She's under 7 kilos now and mediums gape around the legs

    FWIW C was a big bubba and he fitted itti smalls till he was about 5 months so he wasn't in them long so I sold them off and got the next size.

    It all comes down to how bub is built really. Doing what you said is a good idea because you get to try both sizes.

    DD was in the smalls from around 2 weeks to 6 months - and only outgrew the rise, not the actual size of them.

    She fits into mediums fine now. DS can still fit into mediums at 2.5 years!

    Raven - That is what makes it so hard cause DS was 4.310/9lb8oz when he was born and was 10kg by the time he was 4 months and if this baby follows suit as him I think mediums would definately be the way to go!!

    Just wanted to know what the wise MCN ladies thought!! hehehe....

    H was almost 4 kg born, but long.... within weeks they were low, LOW riding hipsters....

    Kane can still get away with a medium if I had to....

    Okay so a baker's dozen of each should get me through then....I might do 3 dozen but 18 of each then!! That way if bub is in the smalls I will get away with only washing every night then, and not having to buy any more once he/she arrives.

    Charlotte is long and skinny and ha been since birth.

    But the mediums didnt fit her until well after 6 months.

    I loved the smalls and the only way she actually out grew them was the rise!
    She is still in mediums, but so you will still get the value out of them if you buy them later adn use smalls first - there is NO WAY that mediums would have fit her from birth, the smalls fit form about 6weeks old, and no earlier.

    Get smalls, them mediums - IME it is far mote likely that you will not need LARGE than SMALL.

    I just got my first one to try out. My DD is 3 1/2 months and probably close to 7kg I think. I got medium and they fit her great, I don't think the smalls would fit.
