Do these run pretty much within the size ranges she mentions? Or are they biggish or smallish? My dd is 24 or 25 lbs with an 18" waist, 11" thigh. Does she need medium or large?

TIA!

I would say that they run large. My DD is almost the same size as yours and almost the same measurements and she wears a medium with plenty of room to grow. The larges fit her but they were too big and poofy.
My DS is 6 months old and still can fit very well into a small!

Yep, I'd say a Medium. Connor is 22 pds. but has an 18" waist and 10.5-11" thighs and the M still has room to grow.

My post disappeared.

They run big. I put my 34lb ds in a medium. I used to use larges, but they were just too poofy on him. And I put my 15lb ds in a small.

Thank you! That helped a bunch, so glad I asked. I was going to try to snag a medium and a large, but now I know that I need a small and a medium. And snap-ins for the medium. (I know I'll be lucky to snag even one thing, but a girl can dream, right?! :LOL)

sooooooo, along those same lines, would a skinny-ish 20-lber fit in a small cover over something trim? she can wear small fireflies, elbees, and bottombumpers for size comparison. she has a 15-16" waist and 10-11" thighs and i guess a relatively short rise (can't figure out exactly how to measure it).

Me neither Kristin!

: Because my dd seems to have a short rise also. But I have bought things that are too short for her, so I think maybe I'm measuring wrong.

I always thought you started at the belly button, went betwen the legs and up to mid back or wherever you would want the dipe to rest. And that is without a diaper for a fitted, over your fav dipes for a cover. But I pull the measuring tape snug against her crotch when measuring for a fitted, and am wondering if I should let it dangle out some, since a fitted would hang down from her crotch some, kwim? Maybe this is why I keep measuring her smaller than she is, it seems. It's been the same for ds, I've measured his rise, and it hasn't seemed that big, but then I look at measurments of dipes I own that are too short in the rise for him, but shouldn't be, according to how I measure him.

Sorry to highjack your question. I have been confused about this myself and have meant to ask.

My DS is about 15-16 pounds and has a 15" waist, 9" thighs and a 14" rise. He is still in a small w/ plenty of room to go too, in fact I can fit him in my shrunken Kiwi that I kinda got back to almost it's size. HTH

too funny nicole. i have the opposite problem. diapers that i think should fit fine (medium elbees for instance) are just too long on her and things that i think should be too short (all those small diapers) fit her great?!? so any tips for the rise measuring challenged?!? :LOL

edited to add: thanks christy! considering trying to get a small tonight.

wagon, what wagon?!?
