Ahh, where can I find comfortable pants & jeans for my lil' chub-a-lub

My DS is such a little chub and so far I can't find any that aren't too tight around his belly. I just bought some pants at Target and the waist was SO tight on him, even though they were his size Chat Icon I have some from the Gap and they are OK, but not great.

Thanks.

Have you tried Old Navy? I have some very comfy pants for DD from there. I haven't tried their jeans yet though.

I find that Greendog clothes from Macy's are the best fit for DS.

My co-worker was saying that she found great pants at either Gap or H&M that have extra elastic at the waist to let them out more. I'll find out and let you know.

Thanks. He seems to be out-growing some of his clothes sideways Chat Icon

H&M trousers have elastic and buttons in the waist. I love their pants for my little kiddo. I also love those soft cotton pants that Carters does, they come in a two pack. They are lovely and comfy for around the house.

My DD is a chubba wubb too and I've NEVER put jeans on her. They just look too uncomfy. I did find a pair at Old Navy last weekend that had a cloth waist band and they were really nice and looked comfy.

I looked on line and they don't have a pic. They were $16.50

He's 27 inches tall and mostly wearing 12 month. But there are some things that are still 9 month. (He slept in a Carter's footer sleeper last night that is 9 month and it still fits very well.)

Yah, I do a lot of soft pants and one-peice rompers. He wears those to daycare and around the house also. But now that he's getting older, I want to dress him up more like a little boy sometimes.

Gap has these that might be worth a try:

External Image
Ribbed-knit waistband, faux drawstring with bow detail.


External Image
Snap at center front, zip fly, elasticized back waistband for easy pull-on and off.


Old Navy (I just bought these for Lucas):

External Image
Sizes 6-12 M, 12-18 M, and 18-24 M have an elasticized back waist, while sizes 2T - 5T feature an adjustable waistband.

I just bought these for Josh at the Baby Gap outlet in Tanger. They fit him very nicely. My little 8 mos old porker is 23 1/2lbs and 29 1/2 inches long so I totally feel your pain!

Ang, I actually have the first pair you posted. He was wearing them at the GTG. I wonder if I should try the 12-18 month in Gap. He fits into the 6-12, but I feel like the elastic waist-band is snug. The length is perfect in the 6-12.

They have possibilities. I'll have to try them on him to see how their sizing is.

Madison is the same size as Daniel, right? 21lb 11 oz; 27 inches tall. It's good to know that the 18 month works well for her in Gap. Thanks.
