small or medium?

[schmamy]

I'm getting ready to order the MEOS introductory package (one dipe, one cover, one insert) to try them out. I can't decide whether to order the small cover (6-12 lbs) or the medium (10-20 lbs). Relevant info:

--I have 6 BSWWs already
--I am planning on using disposables for the first couple of weeks at least
--MW estimated yesterday that at 38 weeks, baby is 7.5 lbs

Given all that, I'm kind of leaning toward medium. Thoughts?

what size are the bsww's that you have?

smalls--six of them.

you'll need smalls....mediums usually fit better at the medium to upper weight range. Also it's more accurate to go by measurements then by weight. I can put two kids together who weigh the same but their shape is totally different and would require different dipes sizes. I always tell new moms to wait until they have their newborn so they can get measurements before buying a big stash. Also you may want to try a couple of different systems to see which one really works for you. :heart

It will be a little while before your baby will fit in mediums. However, since you already have 6 small covers, personally, I'd probably lean towards getting the medium, knowing that it won't fit for a while. But once that baby fits into mediums, they last a LONG time in that size. :yes
