Libby's in a large diaper and 3T dresses and 3T shirts and 2T/3T shorts/pants.
She's 18 months, 27 1/2 lb and 34 1/2" tall. The height is our kicker

Diaper Sizes/Clothing Sizes
Okay, I'm at a loss for a question that has recently been put to me. I think it is because it seems there really isn't a 'universal' answer.
Those of us who have cd'ed even one child knows the flustered feeling of trying to determine clothing to diaper sizing. I have recently gone through this when contemplating at Children's Place and The Gap (good sales this week

) just WHAT size Kenny will wear next year - trying to take into account his diapers/diaper covers.
I used to teach CD 101 at my local Bradley Instructor's class and this question is always asked. What clothing 'size' babies/toddlers will need to wear for the different diaper sizes. Girls are somewhat different and I'm remembering Meredith to wear size Medium Fuzzi Bunz until she was about 18 months old - she is a skinny one though. During that time she was in quite a broad clothing range - from 9 months to that 18-24 months stage.
So, what do your babies wear? Cloth diaper to clothing size?
When my Kenny was wearing a medium diaper (he's in a large now at 18 months) - he was about 9 - 12 months or so. Then, his mediums started getting snug (but he's beefy). Now that he is in a large diaper he is also wearing 18 month + clothing (no bigger than 2T).
What is your experience?

Kimberly, do you buy pants that snap at the stride? I'm finding it easier with Kenny to just do elastic waist and pull 'em up and down.

: The snaps seem to come UN-snapped. Which is so irritating! I need to get Kenny's height ... hmmmm.

Julia is bitty girl. She's 17.5 mos. 20lbs and 31" She wears 12-18 mos in clothes, but is starting to outgrow the height on them. I tried an 18-24 mos dress on her and she swam in it. It was humungo

So I think I'll stick with 12-18mos, even if the dresses are a bit short. She wears mostly mediums in diapers, but can fit in a small Firefly, and yesterday I discovered she fits well into a small El Bee!

I only get elastic waist pants... since I have a girlie girl, I tend to get those cotton knit pants (think Old Navy, Gap, Children's Place) with flare legs... like....
These, but knit, not denim
She's got a big cd butt, but with the stretchy knits, it's ok.... she's just TALL too

I don't know what you do for boys though, cause boys can't really do the cutesy little flare leg stuff

See, this happened with my Meredith - skinny winny in the waist, but ended up needing the length. But then I ran into the problem of not being able to put her into anything that had matching top and bottom 'sets.' I bought separates or did dresses with bloomers.

Edited to say: THANK YOU for all the answers - even with variance in sizing, it seems that many of the age/sizes are still somewhat 'true.'

That is one of the reasons we went back to cpfs and FFQD when out and about. I can pull a pair of elastic waist khakis on Kenny in size 18-24M - or even 2T if I roll the legs, but he isn't fitting into other things as well ... like outfits sold as a 'set' or overalls that aren't 2T.
Girls are much easier to cd, IMO than boys when it comes to finding something to put OVER the diapers. Of course, at home (where we are primarily) he's basically naked and in a diaper! :LOL

Wesley is short and fat. He can only wear sweatpants and overalls, generally a 3T. For the summer he is wearing 3T shorts that look like ghetto capris on him

: I see them fitting next year as well when he gets taller and continues to thin out (he is 18 months and 34 pounds)
Ellie has been growing at the top of her charts but isnt chubby besides her belly! She wears her normal size range, with the obvous stuff out of the question. Those diaper/panty covers that come with dresses dont fit over CD but wouldnt fit her thighs anyway if she was in a disposable. With Jeans I have to make sure she is in a really trim diaper but that doesnt work for us lately since she is holding and flooding!
Not too much help I guess. I am having a hard time deciding what to get when I buy ahead too. So I'm gleaning some advice.
