What Size Diapers??

i am participating in a program at my church, where you buy gifts for a children who need them. i chose a one year old girl (don't know how many months old). the only information is that she is a size 2T. They asked for diapers, and i am just taking a poll to see if your daughter currently wears 2T, what size diapers is she in? I know all kids are different, but I will pick the average or bigger size. Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

wow! thanks to everyone for the responses! i ended up getting size 5...i hated the thought that they would possibly be too small, bu she can always grow into them or wear them a little big!

I have an almost 2 year old daughter who wears 24 month or 2T clothes. She wears a size 4 diaper. I have bought many different brands of size 4 and they all pretty much fit the same.

I would either buy size 5 or 6 in diapers. My son is 2 and wears a size 2T in clothes and size 5 (soon to be in size 6) in diapers.

my daughter is 2 and wears a 2T she is in a size 4, Sams Club and Costco are the cheapist for diapers...

My daughter wears a 2T and is in a size 5 diaper.

My son is 15 months old and is just growing out of size 3. An also wears size 12 months clothes. So if the child is wearing size 2t she/he must be a bigger child. I would go with a size 4. Hope i helped:)

My daughter wore a size 4 diaper last year when she was 1 year old and wearing 2T clothes.

my daughter is 2.5 and wears a 2T, sometimes 3T. I buy the size 4 from costco. The kirkland brand are much cheaper and I love them.

Mine is in 2T and Huggies size 5 diapers. Either size 4 or 5 would be fine I'm sure, however, the 5's would last longer in my opinion. If they're big, she'll grow into them. Where as if the 4's are small or if she's close to outgrowing them, then they may not get much use out of them... If she's 1 and in a 2T, then she's likely 18 months or more. Mine is very tall and is 18 months ==> wearing 2T and size 5.

Good luck to you. What a wonderful thing you are doing!!!

Hi L.,
Congratulations on your wonderful church program. I just wanted to pass along some information to you- a little food for thought. My daughter uses organic diapers for her children, the reason being, we found out that regular disposable diapers, like Pampers, etc., are pretty toxic things. They are bleached with chlorine, contain sodium polyacralate absorbing gels, and are usually sprayed with chemicals to give them a longer shelf life. My daughter decided that she didn't want that wrapped around her children's genitals for 2 years. She orders Seventh Generation unbleached diapers by the case online at diapers.com or seventhgeneration.com. They look a little funny- sort of tan- but at least they are not so filled with chemicals. These also can be bought at many stores.
I just thought that I would pass this along in case any moms out there are interested in 'greener' alternatives!
There are more safe recommendations in a new book just out "Green Goes with Everything" by Sloan Barnett- about $13 on Amazon or in book stores.
Best Wishes,
M.

My big guy is currently growing out of his 4's and 18 - 24 month clothes and into 5's and 2T's. If it helps, he is 35 inches and 27 pounds.
