Age/weight for Bum Genius rise/snaps, please?

[Beauchamp]

Does anyone have an approximate age/weight guide for the BG 3.0? I've had DD on the largest setting for a while now, but recently they've started to seem tall on her. Maybe I need to go back down to the middle rise/snaps?

She's so wiggly and hates dipe changes, so I don't have a lot of time to experiment. So just wondering if there was an actual recommended weight/age for each size, or if any mamas have BTDT. Thanks!

I've used BGs for years and I think it depends on the baby's personal shape. Some thinner babies may be tall and some short ones may be plump and need higher rise. My son who is on the high end of the weight scale uses biggest setting now (at 21 months) but he could still wear the middle size setting over this winter. If the diaper is too tall you won't be able to get a snug fit around the waist since it'll be over the waist. KWIM? I would try on both and see what fits snuggly without the waist gaping.

Well, it goes very high up her back, and is around her belly button in front. But the bum seems pretty saggy.

I will have to try the middle rise again and see...if she will let me.

So is it normal to be on the largest setting and then later go back down to the medium?

If she's thinned out, sure. You should snap them before you put them on her, I always snap my rises snaps as I stuff the diaper then put it on.
And I leave them snapped until I go to the next rise.

It shouldn't be saggy in the bum....are you velcroing it tight enough?
