Help! Thunder thighs!

well, my DS has really chunky thighs bless him.. He is 9mo old and already growing out of size 5 huggies... I'm scared he will grow out of size 6 by the time he is a yr old and we wont have any options left....

Seriously- what am I going to do? Do they make nappies for bigger babies? He is 98th centile by the way [anxious face]

I have 91st centile 9 mo and she is very fat thighs too, comfortably fills a size 5.

My first was just the same and she slimmed right down when she got moving. She went back into size 4 for a while because once she was walking her thighs slimmed right down. So don't worry, its probably not for long!

Aw thanks buggy babe, fingers crossed he moves soon. Not even crawling yet!

Don't worry....they get to size 6 and then stop as their legs lengthen, they get moving and the weight stops increasing (as chub...more as height/muscle) I had 2 of my 3 at this size and neither grew out of them.

Of course they make bigger nappies. They're just harder to find and they cost a little more
