Diaper sizes are ridiculous

My son is just over 1.5 years old. 26lbs. 2’8” (32”) height. He has always sized up in diapers pretty quickly, but he’s currently in size 6. He sized up from size 5 about 2 months ago, but now I’m wondering if he needs another size up… with size 6 it’s almost impossible to get it on without a cheek hanging out a bit. It looks super uncomfortable. The tabs land near the edges of the front piece as well. It’s like the diaper just isn’t wide enough. Size 7 is way longer than it needs to be for him, but the waist is perfect… and the gussets aren’t loose or anything… it just gives him an extra fluffy diaper butt, lol! Is anyone else’s 1.5 year old in size 7??? It seems crazy to me that he could be big enough to fit, I feel like I have to be doing something wrong with the smaller size.

Hm - my babe is the same height and weight and still in 4s (5s overnight). Haver you tried different brands for a better fit?

my LO was the same when going from a 4 to a 5 which she’s currently in. 4s were so tight and leaked super easy but 5s were huge on her we had to try out other brands that ran sizes differently for a while until she was big enough for the 5s

My baby has been in 7 for several months, but she's 99th percentile height, I just have big babies that tend to be the size of older children

@Shannon I tried a bunch of brands! Pampers, Huggies, luvs, rascals, dollar general brand, etc. we got a bunch of small packs during the hurricane in our area (WNC) so I was able to try a bunch. None of the size 6s seem to fit his waist/butt anymore. This is wild lol He also only fits in 2-3t pants because of the waist… maybe it’s just how he carries weight??

@Sarah Crazy! My LO sized out of her 4 Pampers overnights and is a little snug in 4 Huggies daytimes, but her size 4 Coteries fit really well still!

Mine is still in 3s lol

Mine is a size 7 in huggies its a weird fit on her too since she has thick legs but small waist lol

well thighs😅

My girl is 28 lbs in size four, I find Walmart and target brand run a little bigger

My 1.5 year old and 3 year old both wear size 6 in the Sams or Costco brand diapers. They could both get away with a 5, but it’s a little snug. I’ve never had an issue but I’ve always used Kirkland’s from Costco and recently the Members choice from Sam’s.

My baby is about the same size and she’s in size 6 pampers swaddlers. I’ve played with sizing and I think it’s all about finding a good fit and not following the weight guidance

My early baby is 28 lbs, 36 in tall, and has been in size 7 diapers since literally the summer 💙

My son is 1.7yrs old and is 32ibs and Is already in pull ups he’s wearing 3-4t now cuz the 1-2t was getting smaller and smaller on him I think he’s gonna be a giant when he’s older 😭
