DS is terribly thin--he's been hovering around the 5th percentile for
weight
since he turned one, but has maintained a height closer to the 40-50th.
(He's 3 years old now, and weighs about 26 lbs.) My problem is finding
pants
that will say up, and I'm just wondering if anyone has found certain
brands
which seem to work better for skinny kids. I had been keeping him in
overalls, but now that he's potty training, that isn't working out so
well.
He lives mostly in sweat pants, and those are great, but now and then I'd
like to put him in a pair of pants or jeans, and if they fit around the
waist (usually size 18-24 mos! for a 3 year old!), they're just comically
short.

Fortunately, summer is coming, and his shorts will just be a bit shorter
than fashionable. But I'd still like recommendations for toddler clothing
brands that seem to come a bit trimmer-fitting. Anyone?



All of my kids are very skinny. My 5 year old is still under 40 pounds.
What's working for us right now, for all 3 girls, are overalls and jeans
with adjustable elastic inside the waist. Arizona (at JC Penney), Old Navy,
and The Gap all have those jeans. I've also had good luck with Wranglers
because they're cut slim to begin with. My daughter wore a lot of Land's
End pants with plain elastic waistbands until she decided she wanted to wear
only jeans and skirts.

HTH,
