Arabella is quite lean for a baby and it just seems like the nappies are too big and bulky for her. She stuggles to sit and move in them, can't bend at the waist and her legs hang up in the air.
Is this normal? Is there anything I can do? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I think at 3 months it's quite likely that she's still growing into them.
What are you stuffing them with? When is she sitting? You mean in a pram or on your knee? |

Kylah is the same, well at that age they were huge.
Shes still on the smallest snaps on her fuzzis too. but second on the thigh. Kylahs really tall but super skinny. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

what kind of nappies are you using on her? covers or pockets?
i found covers/prefolds best on charli at that age but they were a little bulky on her because she was skinny too but by 4-4.5mths she was fitting them better and also able to fit pockets 
perhaps take a pic if you can, that makes it easier to see what you mean and we maybe able to help more... ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

What kind of nappies are you using? If you're using pockets she will probably fit a small as my friend has a wee girl too and she wore her small HC's til she was about 9mths! (now that's value for money  ).

Sorry I have just got back from Auckland an hour ago!
Nikki - I stuff them with all sorts but usually just a peapod type insert with a booster if needed. . Sitting on my knee or pram or rocker etc. She is in pockets and a got some covers to try to and they still seem big. will post pics tomorrow ------------- http://lilypie.com">
