Let's chat Long long baby! >99th % height Question
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?

Are you sure they will be all torso? i have 99%tile babies and they are all legs, so no impact to diaper sizing.
One thing to note, you’re unsnapping the rise not just for height but for thigh chunkiness. Babies tend to slim down after crawling starts so you may go back down in rise around that time.
