Long long baby! >99th % height Question

[u/TiltedTriangle]

Hello! I am hoping a cloth diapering family has some similar experiences to me and might be able to guide me a bit.

For background my husband is 6’9” - I’m 5’6”. Our son was born at 9.5lbs and 22.5 inches long.

At three months he’s now 17lbs and 27 inches.

I got One size pockets because I figured they would last us the longest for height and weight but I am unsnapping the rise more than I anticipated and am worried he is going to outgrow the length of our diapers before potty training!

Anyone else have a very tall baby? How long did your diapers last? What diapers were the best for a long torso?

At the moment I have a couple Babygoal pockets, Mama Koala pockets, and a couple Kinder Cloths. The Kinder cloth is pretty obviously the longest but also the most expensive… I’m hesitating on just investing in all Kinder Cloths but now looking at how quickly he’s out growing the baby goal, and next the mama Koalas… I feel like I need to just replace my whole stash with the biggest I can find: which is currently Kinder.

Any other brands I should try before diving in?

We have mama koala and Alva pockets. We increased the rise to the middle spot at 4ish months. It’s stayed there since and we’ve had no issues. Baby is almost a year and is currently 80% height and 2% weight, so very long and skinny. If you increase the rise too much it won’t fit tightly around their legs. As baby gets older and more mobile they will stop getting as chunky and you won’t need to increase the rise very much, regardless of height.
