What diaper are we using for tall skinny babies?

My son is 29 inches tall and 18 pounds. This diaper is a size 4 and as you can see it's pretty snug and we will be moving to size 5 after these are gone. However the little straps are overlapping cause he's too skinny for the size ☹️ why must I have a weird sized baby lol

My baby is long too! We use Millie moon size 3 … last checked he was 27 inches and 16 pounds !

My girl is 18lbs and 27.5in long we use Huggies size 3 for both regular and overnight diapers.

My baby is 27in and 18lbs and we use Kirkland. She’s in 3’s now but ready to go to 4s we just have a ton of 3 left I’m trying to use as many as we can before switching

do Kirkland keep baby dry? Even when my son was using Huggies it wasn't keeping him dry enough and left the creases between his thighs and crotch red and irritated even when I was changing him every 2 hours

we tried Kirkland and they are OK but not good for overnight at all… they don’t hold much (we also got a rash but he also has super sensitive skin 😭)

My baby is almost the same and we moving from size 3 coterie to size 4

My boy is 27.5 inches and 17 pounds (he’s starting to thicken out but is still pretty slender) and Kirkland/huggies have been great. Just don’t size up with the recommended sizing for weight, wait until they actually fill out the diaper

I’d recommend Honest size 5! They tend to run small but fit so nicely even though they are a little on the pricy side

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

When do I drop the dream feed?

Carry her up and she usually stirs so ive been giving her 5oz dream feed.which she drains
Then she is up at 2-3am for another feed and goes back down till 6/7am ish.

When do I up her oz bottles throughout the day and drop the dream feed?

She currently has 5oz bottles..80% of the time drains them, sometimes only has a little snack

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help

Is there any correlation between sleeping through the night and types of feeding?

Did your baby age 0-6months sleep through the night, 6 hours or more, and how were they fed? It always see like formula fed babies sleep through the night sooner than breastfed babies.

Naps!

My lo is 7.5 months and has recently struggled to be put in her cot for naps/sleep. She will sleep on me but as soon as I lie her down wide awake! Help!
