Pampers Swaddlers Sizes

Hi Moms,
Was hoping someone may be able to give me an idea regarding the sizing of pampers swaddlers. My 3 month old has outgrown the newborn size ~ is size 1 much bigger than the nb? Should I go with size 1-2? My little girl is now 10 lbs. I'm planning on ordering a bunch of diapers online and didn't want to order them too small. Thanks for your help!

I use the swaddlers and baby dry. I have a twelve month of with a very skinny waist. To me they seem to run a little bigger as far as length I think that they should be fine, but it also really depends on the size of the baby as far as proportions. Maybe you could pick up a small package to try it out before you get a ton of them.

Hi. It definitely sounds like to me that you need size 1-2. I wouldn't order too many though because they grow out of that size kind of fast. My daughter has been in size 3s forever!! I don't remember her being in 1-2's more than a couple months. I would only buy a few cases, depending on how long they last for you.

My son only used a couple of packages of size 1. We also ended up switching to Huggies after he grew our of newborn diapers. I didn't like huggies newborn diapers, but the bigger sizes worked much better for him than the pampers. My son actually moved up to size 3 really quickly.

I would go with the bigger size. (I believe that would be 1-2). Like someone else said on here, the 1-2 is a blend between 1 and 2, and not some 1s and some 2s. It is better to go a little larger than the exact fit, when you're ordering a case from Diapers.com. We do that as well. Also, if she is breastfeeding, the bigger diaper is better for blowouts (because the stool gets pretty loose sometimes). LOL! I am pretty loyal to the Pampers brand, because of the Swaddlers they have, and also because of the reward points. We plan on redeeming them for Leggos, L.L. Bean, or a restaurant gift card. LOL! If you need to order something extra, in order to qualify for the free shipping, you can always order clothes. That's what I did with my little guy. I got 3 t-shirts in his last order, and they were comparably priced with places like Target or WalMart. I wouldn't buy more than one case of diapers at a time, though.

When my son was 10 lbs I ordered a bunch from Diapers.com in size 2-3 (he was leaking out of size 1 and size 2 isn't much bigger). He is now 13 lbs and still wearing the same size so it's worked out well. I like the diapers to be a little big, so they don't leak as much. At first, I just folded down the front piece a bit and now I don't have to do that anymore. Hope that helps!

Sheri,

I would go to size one and not 1/2. I ordered some from Diapers.com because they give you $10 credit the first time but after that I usually got to Toys R Us or Babies R Us.

I would buy a couple of the size 1 and then a couple of the size 1-2. This way you can move to the next size without wasting money.

Hi-

My son weighed 10 lbs 15 oz at birth and was in size 1-2 from the very beginning. Most likely you'll be overlapping the velcro in the front in the beginning, but they will fit.

Good luck,
K.

Sheri,

Hello! I have a 6.5 month old that weighs 18 lbs. and she is in size 3's. =) The problem I had with the dipers was they started getting to tight around her waste. If your planning on ordering a few 100ed then i would go ahead and order the pkg with sizes 1 & 2's just in case your little girl decides to grow really quick & by experence they do. =)

GOODLUCK!!
J.

1-2 absolutely...not enough of a difference between nb and 1!!
