How long was your kid in size 3 diapers?

[Jalapeñomel]

The size 3s seem to last forever. 

[sjh722]

Forever. We flew through sizes newborn - 2, then I think she wore 3s from 4 months until after a year.

[spk926]

I think about a year, possibly longer. She turned 2 in January and we just moved to size 4 recently. I'm guessing she'll be in 4s until she potty trains.

Most kids move quickly through sizes N - 2 (and a few mega babies blow by size 3, too) but it's normal for kids to stay in the bigger sizes for months. My DD was small and for a time I thought she would potty-train out of a size 3 diaper (until I realized she wasn't getting trained before age 3 and she needed a size 4 by then).

A very long time and still going strong. Probably since she was around 6 months old and she's 14 months now. 4s fit a little big, so I might switch soon out of boredom.

DS1 was in them for about 9 months. I just moved DS2 into them (he's 4m) and they're really not very big on him. I don't know that they will last that long for him unless he starts thinning out

[statlerwaldorf]

Only 2 months. My 7 month old has been wearing size 4s for a couple of months, but he's abnormally large.

[badtzmaru22]

DD was in them for a year, and then was in 4 until PT.

DS is in 4s at night, and after we finish this box of 3s, we're just going to use 4s full time. He will have only used four boxes of size three! He's seven months old. Crazy!!

[kershnic]

We mostly CD so my sense of time is not entirely accurate, but we only wore size 3 disposables for a few months.   My short chubby babies transitioned to size 4 at about 10 months.

DD is 6 months, has been in size 3 for ~2 weeks and I can see her in them maybe until the beginning of summer. I've already begun stocking up on size 4s. She's probably 75% for height and weight (but we will see for sure tomorrow).

[runblondie26]

Technically DS could still be a size 3, according to the package, but we moved to 4's around 10 months to help avoid blowouts. He'll be 16 months soon, and I see him wearing size 4's for quite some time.

[andthentherewere10]

We CD during the day and use disposables at night so that may color my answer (sizing up for leakage) but my DS was in size 4 by 6 months. I'd say he was only in size 3 for 2 months (months 4-6).

[geek96]

Not very long. DS has been in size 4 for at least 10 months.

[rugbywife]

She's been in them a while, but she is skinny mini…not sure when she will bout of them.

[ilikedonuts]

We just switched to 4s and could have been in 3s (for daytime) for longer, but I didn't want to buy another box. I would say around 6 months. DD1 was in them for 8 months.

[VillainV]

A very long time. Maybe from like 3-9 months?

[anna7602]

DS has been in size 3 for a super long time now and I don't anticipate him being ready for size 4 any time soon.

I have zero recollection re: DD.

[browneyedgirl9]

A couple months. We have been in 4s awhile now.

[Yankees21]

He's probably been in them for 4 months, and we'll switch once we run out of this box. He's about to turn a year old.

[moopoint17]

I think from 3 months to 10 months. I think he'll be in size 4s for a while.

[babyrn]

Over a year, around one year old to two years old. We recent switched to 4's and I wish we hadn't. We are having more leaks now because they are too big.

[bananapancakes]

A long time. Maybe from 3ish months and still is now at nearly 11 months.

[hetty]

She's been in them since around five months and she's a year now. I think she'll be in them for another couple months at least.

This. Lol. I just put my 5 month old in 4s. Hoping this one lasts awhile.

[Jalapeñomel]

I can't imagine D will ready for 4s anytime in the near future...he barely tips the scale at 22 lbs and 32 in long.

hmmm I don't know. I think DD was 23 pounds at two years old (maybe only 22?) and she had been in 4s for six months by then. 

Lesson is all kids are different, I guess. I think karinothing's kid trained out of 3s and isn't super tiny.

Yup we never made it beyond 3. He potty trained at 28 months but wore 2t pull ups at night

Eta he was 26lbs but tiny butt and short rise.

You might be surprised. DD is about 24 pounds and 31/32 inches and has been in 4s for a couple months now.

I think she's been in 3s since she was 7 months old, which was a year ago. I don't think we'll need to move up anytime soon. I can still easily touch the tabs together in front,and blowouts are few (thankfully!). Box says they go to 28lbs, and she was not quite 23 at her 18 month appointment last month (not that what they put on the box means much).

[changedname]

I ran out of twos when she was about 2 months then just used threes even though they were too big. She is still in 3s now. I checked the weight recommendations on them the other day and it looks like she will be in 3s for a while. She is 12 months and 18lbs

[AlpineSlide]

not long. he trucked right thru all the sizes up to size 5. he's been in 5's for the longest. He's 15 months now (31 pounds) and i will buy 6 next time i buy diapers. he was wearing 5s when he turned one.
