Just can't seem to measure properly: WN and pbpd

I am rubbish at measuring.... I must one the generation to whom they stopped teaching it to properly at school!
Everytime I measure my I think I have it then order the nappy and it ends up being too big

I want to order a WN and currently have a pbpd m/l which is a tiny bit lose on the tightest poppers. Does anyone have any idea which size WN I am likely to need? Or any advice on how to find out I feel a bit useless

I'd say M, or try an OS ... what age/weight is your LO?

She is two in 10 days time but quite petite. I haven't weighed her for a long time because I haven't really thought about how I would do this

Get on scales, note your weight. Then get on scales with your LO, note down weight. The difference in figures is your LOs weigh This is what i do rather than stripping her off at the weigh in clinic which is usually FREEZING!

Id be tempted with a Large (20-35lbs), my dd is 11months and in a large, she is average weight/height and has lost loads of chubb because she is crawling.

Maybe you are right. I did notice this particular pbpd only had a few poppers to allow adjustments and I imagine the WN have a lot more poppers?

If you're going for a WNSS then get a large with a standard rise I'd say or if the rise isn't high enough get a large with the high (old) rise...

To measure your baby's rise do it over the nappy...

To measure thigh - measure where a nappy normally sits on her thighs...

I used some initiative and measured the pbpd nappy (which I mentioned was a little lose) and this is how it compares to WN measurements on the webby

pbpd unstretched:
waist 26.5 cm
leg 19 cm

WN LARGE unstretched is:
waist: 32 cm
leg: 19.5 cm



So at this rate, the large WN will be too big. I think my little one is quite petite for a two year old- not in height but weight

I shall try measuring her for the 10th time tomorrow.

Gracie is long and very skinny, about 24lbs and 22 months,I have her in a WNSS large with standard rise, have pics of her in the photo thread in a large FF as well xx

Measuring is the safest way - all you really need to do is around her middle (belly-button level or just under) and around her thigh, right at the top where the nappy will sit.

My LO is also a skinny minnie, around 24lbs at 26 months, and she still fits in a medium WNSS; I do prefer the larges now though!
