Poppy wears a medium and until recently she was in small. They do come up big, Noah could get away with a medium to but has now grown out of the rise.

I'd email Victoria before she sends it out and change it for a medium.

Which print did you go for? *nosey*

Personally I find larges huge. Katie (who is 2.5 and weighs about 28lbs) has only just outgrown the rise on the M knit prints but her BV outers still fit fine. Larges are a bit on the big side for her atm but we don't get any leaks with them. Some people with youger/lighter babies have had to size up to larges already to get the higher rise though. I'd measure your LO rather than go on weight only and then compare it to Tami's size chart to see which size would fit best.

DS2 is 18m and wears a small, although we have started getting some mediums as well.

Looking at his age and weight and as you've said he's skinny I'd definitely get a smaller size.

Mmm, going by Tami's measurements, a large would fit my 7 and 11 year olds!! :shock:

Why not get one of each and then decide which is better?
