    Have you used the new BBH petites??

    They look great and I want to get some!!

    But most of the colours are sold out in medium

    Was thinking about trying large. Can someone tell me what the sizing is like? Same as magicalls or smaller?? She is 11 months and a bit over 9kg. She wears the medium magicalls with one snap spare in the middle. Would large petites be too big?

    I just saw a pic of a 9 wk old baby on FB in the medium petites only done up on the second snap!! So, that's why I'm thinking maybe large would be ok. Opinions?

    I bought a couple of mediums for DD2 last week and they fit her well - she is 7kg. I reckon you could upsize but I think you may find the rise is bit big - BUT I have to admit that I don't like the Harry Highpants look at all LOL If you don't mind a higher rise I reckon you might just be happy with a large, because DD is on the last snap around the legs and second last around the tummy. You'll get a bit of extra time out of it too.

    I should say too that I have never tried a Magicall, but I think the Petite is quite similar in size to a medium Itti if that's any help

    Also, megsmum, what colours do you have?? Do you have 'orchid' by any chance? Just wondering if it looks like it does in the photo on the site. The 'orchid' colour in the magicalls is a lot different to what the pic looks like for the petites. If you look at them both on the site you will see.

    I do have the Orchid It is a little bit duller (hard to describe LOL) than the website pics, but I do like it. I also have Dew, which is very nice too - a bit like Itti Peppermint.

    And they are very trim in the crotch too. A bit like a cloth nappy G string with the string at the front!!

    ETA - I just had a look at the website and the Orchid I have is more like the Orchid in the Magicall. HTH

    id stick with the meduims! i found large in any MCN too big on DD1, even as a toddler, remember she will slim down once shes walking more, id buy either just a medium and try that or get one of each. with the old magicals large NEVER fitted DD1 even at age 2.5 when she TT

    I have heard that the large are really LARGE - apparently most babies wouldn't need them, even up to TT'ing.

    I have ordered 3 mediums through a co-op, but I don't know if those colours sold out or not yet......

    I think they look FAB
