Gap's xxs (or whatever the smallest size is, I think that's it) boy's undies fit my 21 lb, 13 mo dd . I go with the boy ones because the fabric is a little thicker.

DD (13 mo) and I were walking home from library story time this morning when she had a total melt-down. It's a pretty long walk, so I had her in a carrier on my back, but she likes to walk, so when she started to fuss, I let her down....

My daughter is nearly one and hasn't had hers off since she was 4 months. We cosleep, so I don't really worry about it at night. They're generally made to break if they get really caught on something anyway, although you should check...
