How do you dress a string bean? Aha!! (update)

im interested, too! my son isnt really skinny, but hes so long that all of his pants are too short. hes only 6 weeks old and a lot of his 0-3 month stuff is up past his ankles.

My 8 month old has the same problem with clothes. He has to wear 12 month clothes to be long enough but the pants fall off his tiny butt!! He eats like a horse but barely gains what the dr would like him to. He just gets longer and taller each visit but maybe gains 1 pound. Hes very healthy dr says but just the body and metabolism he has(wish i had that LOL!!) Summer was easier since he wore shorts but now i dont know what to do either.

my son was that way for a few months after he started walking. I did a lot of stretch pants. they fit like reg pants.

Yeah, right.  She's shaped exactIy Iike her dad right down to her big toe.  She's going to be reaIIy reaIIy taII.  He's 6'5", and his mom is 6' and the three of them are peas in a pod.  I cannot keep weight on anyone in my famiIy.  I cut refined sugar out of our diet, and he dropped 30 pounds.  Bastard.  DD is stiII breastfeeding, and she eats reaIIy good, but she started waIking reaIIy earIy and now she's running.

So far, overaIIs work and they Iook cute baggy, but even stretch pants faII down on her.  I've tried pegging them in the back and roIIing the waist down but that doesn't work for Iong and it ends up ruining the waistband.

I have not seen many that run small in the waist but I know there are a few at walmart and meijer here that they have the elastic in the inside that you can pull the tabs to make them smaller.  I have only seem them as small as 12 months though.  My baby is like that too though she is 3 months and the 0-3 month is still too big on her waist but she still has room left on the length!  here is a photo though of the inside tabs to look for though.

IoI... even those don't work!  She has a few pairs with the button, and one of them actuaIIy fits okay but I got them at a thrift store and I have no idea of the brand.  This sounds reaIIy creepy, but they're baby versions of 'skinny pants'. 

Even smaIIer sizes, Iike 6-9 mo., are too big in the waist.  I think I'm going to have to take up sewing

Yup Seth is like his daddy too. So funny you said right to the big toe cuz he has the exact feet as my husband!!! My husband is average height but can work out twice and look awesome. My family is REALLY tall. Guys well over 6 foot and my 3 younger sisters are 6 ft. He got daddys physique and mommys height. Loooong fingers too. The little monkey has to sleep in a play yard cuz he climbs out of cribs. Starting to climb safety gates now with his strong long toes grabbing on!!  I roll the waist down too but hes sooooo active that the pants just work their way off!!  Makes me wonder what this next one will be like.

My son is very long too. I found that Carter brand has more of a narrow look than wide like most others. But they are usually more pricier.

These are the onIy pants she has that fit.  Boys cIothes are so much worse than girIs for being short and wide.  Her big 'brother' passed down some of his baby cIothes, and nothing came cIose to fitting.
