Pull ups vs Nappies very large baby

Baby is very big and in size 4 nappies at 4 months. I struggle to get nappies that fit as they are either to big on the back/ waist or tight on the leg causing marks as I have to really struggle to stretch the tab to close them. I think the pull up style nappy would offer more stretch and cover around the waist. The brand I use the pull up style are the same for absorbency as the normal ones has any one used pull ups on small baby ?

What is your baby's weight? I can't see that they would be larger than a 3 yr old and nappies typically fit up til that kind of age.

What brands have you tried so far? Aldi mamia ones were a good fit when DD was little but with chubby legs, whereas the Asda and Tesco ones were narrower and tended to leak.

Are you sure you need such large nappies? My dd was still in size 4 when we trained age 4!

Mine is 5 months and 17 pounds and in size 2 Lidl and size 3 pampers

He is in 6 - 9 month clothes. Can you just out the tabs further apart?

Christ some people are judgy.

I started using pull ups at a similar age, as soon as he could roll. I found the normal nappies leaked because he was constantly moving
