Possibly a silly question about diapers

We subscribe to a auto- delivery service for DD's diapers (disposable), and today is the last day I can make a change to the order, so I figured I would ask some opinions here.

DD is 11 months old, 29" and just under 20 lbs.  She's been wearing size 3 diapers since about July, when she was about 16 or so lbs.  We use Luvs.

Here's my question:  would you order another pack of size 3 (16-24 lbs), or would you start ordering size 4(22-37 lbs)?  The range on the size 4 diapers seems so large. 

Any advice/ insight would be appreciated-- thanks!

DD2 is 30 inches and 24 lbs. She can fit in a size 3, and I recently found some and put them on her (like I'm gonna throw those away!). They looked kind of like a diaper thong! Anyway, she is in pampers so I don't know if that makes a difference. The size 4 are a way better fit on her, but she is bigger than your girl. I would buy a smaller package of the threes until she gets into the fours, or just buy the threes and use them up once you see that she is starting to look like a Victoria Secret model in them. I don't think it matters the weight as much as the activity and amount the diaper has to absorb, unless LO has a sumo belly, which yours doesn't sound like she does.

This made me LOL!

We are not quite at the diaper thong stage yetSmile so maybe we will just invest in a small pack of 4s.

Really! You are so behind the times. All the babies are wearing them.

I would order the Size 4s.  DS is in size 4s now and is about 20 lbs.  I have found that the weight ranges on the diapers are only marginally helpful as DS has fit into the size up before he's in the weight range.

My DD is about the same size and we have moved up to size 4s. We use Huggies and Luvs. I had already bought a lot of 4s, so I tried them and they are fine. I actually like them a lot more than the 3s.

My dau is only 28" and just over 18lbs. She's wearing size 4 just fine. They're a little big but she's had a few poo that would have blown out the back if she had been in 3s. I just hate how they slide down alittle and bunch in her crotch but I'll take that over a blow-out. Bottom line, I'd order the 4s.

Wow, my daughter is the same weight and height and she's still in 2s! 

OP, I'd stick with the 3s if they're still working.
