Diaper size

What size diaper is your 4 month old baby in?

My guy was weighed in at 12.7lbs and is in size 2. Curious about your littles! We usually use Huggies - I find rascal and friends seem a lot smaller around the waist than the Huggies.

Also does your little one have blow outs in the car seat even though their diaper fits fine when they aren’t in the seat?

My daughter is 4 months old and 15.5lbs. She’s in size 2 but I think I’m going to switch her to size 3 soon! I find Huggies are the best as well, I tried pampers and she had lots of blow outs!

4 months old and 19lbs. Just finishing this box of size 3 then will be moving up to 4 🙃

At 4 month checkup my LO was 13lb 5oz and she was wearing size 1s during the day and 2s at night. She’s gonna be 5 months on the 11th and she’s fitting perfectly into 2s right now but we may add 3s at night in a few weeks to get extra back coverage

I have a 4 month old who is also around 13 pounds. He’s also in size 2. I found I liked pampers but they felt awkward around his thighs. I switched to Kirkland brand and I like the fit better but find the diaper itself is really stiff.

I was actually thinking of trying rascal and friends so that’s good to know.

We just turned 5 months and size 4, but we're a big and tall guy coming in at 22.4 lbs

We switched to Millie Moon and they are by far my fave. They sell them at Loblaws and they are actually a bit cheaper than Huggies. They are so soft - she is in a size 2 at nearly 15 lbs but they fit bigger then Huggies. Size 2 is 9-18 lbs I believe. Have not had a single issue with blowouts and we’ve been using them for a couple of months now.

Size 2.

Haven't weighed my 4 month old yet, but we use Huggies and Kirkland brand diapers, currently on size 3.
Blow outs happen randomly, like when we've been in the car for too long or if he has a lot

My 4 month old is ~18lbs and just switched to size 3. Likely could have switched him sooner but wanted to finish up the size 2s we still had left.

people love rascal and friends which I like the bum coverage! I just think the waist is made smaller!

Size 3 diapers and 18lbs at 4 months old. We use the hello bello diapers as we were gifted so many at our shower and got used to them.

Our 4 month old is almost 17lbs now and still in size 2 (Huggies) but we’re planning to move her into size 3 when we finish the box we’re currently using. I didn’t like the Huggies at first - had preferred Pampers, but we went with Huggies because that’s what was at Costco. We’re used to them now and have very few blowouts.

SiZe 2!

5 months size 3 and still lots of room he's about 17lbs but he's a long boy .

My daughter is a few days shy of 6 months old, and we are still in size 1.

4.5 months old 19 lbs 11 oz and we have been in size 4 for a few weeks now

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
