Nappies for a very long baby - any suggestions?

My 8 month old is in size 2 Bamboozles at present but they are already quite a neat fit on him. He is quite long and I can't see them lasting until he's a toddler. Anybody else found this and tried others?

Tots aren't very good for long babies at all really.

Is he quite thin? If he is and you think he will stay that way than try bambinex / geobel on offer here. They are high in the rise but thin between the legs - great for long thin babies but no so good for really chubby bottomed ones.

I'm assuming you want to stick with bamboo - these are better than bamboozles (must stop saying that as I am trying to sell all mine!).

Thanks BBM,
He's quite chubby at the moment so I'm a bit stumped about what to try. They just seem quite bulky on - he's recently started sitting up by himself and they get in the way because of their size, yet they are very low at the waist. Will have a look online at bambinex though. Thanks very much

Thanks Displacement Activity,
Will have a look at them too. To be honest I'm not too bothered about bamboo as they take an age to linedry. It's something with a longer rise we need I think - he's sooo long! Anyway thanks both of you. The sun is shining and big sis wants to go to the park so I'll do some online research later this evening.

Bambeasies are great nappies - as are all the easy peasy range.

I would say if you want the high rise from them then go for the nippa fit if you have no particular preference for fastenings. Nippa nappies tend to be 'hoistable' for want of a better word....

I wouldn't worry about the bulk getting in the way when he moves about - they are way thinner than the terry squares that babies used to have to contend with! My DD2 was cloth reared and was mobile very quickly.
