Diaper Issues!

sidey1

We all have babies so I'm guessing this won't gross anyone out, but just a warning before proceeding.  DS has had ongoing diaper blowout issues. He is FF and typically only poops once a day in the morning usually right after waking up or before he leaves for daycare. Because he only goes once a day, these poops are epic and more often then not blow out of his diaper unless we catch him right after he's done the deed. Sometimes it's just a change of clothes, but other times like this morning he got it all over his magic sleep suit and all over himself and ended up getting a bath at 5am.

We currently use size 2 pampers swaddlers and he's 15lbs.We used Target brand for awhile but noticed DS would start getting a weird gross odor from moisture retention or something. Anyone have recommendations for their favorite brand of diaper to avoid blowouts???

Have you tried a diaper cover?  I know cloth is not for everyone but maybe just trying a cover over his diaper will help conceal the massive poop. 

ETA: just over the morning diaper that he poops in.

I was having the same issues with dd. She was 15lbs using size 2 swaddlers. I did not think there was anyway that she would fit in size 3. After 2 weeks of blow outs and trying everything(tighter, looser, higher in he back, and ruining countless outfits), I bought a box of size 3 swaddlers and have not had a blow out since. Buy a small pack of 3's and see how it goes, you will eventually use them anyways if they don't fit now.

Knock on wood my daughter is 5mths old and we haven't had a blow out yet! But she was only like 14lbs when we moved her up to size 3 pampers. I think you should move up and see how it goes!

Ok, we're moving on up! I do really like the swaddlers and it's true we will eventually need size 3 anyway

I do cloth diapers and have found that they contain the morning poop-slosion pretty well.  I know it's not for everyone but it's worked for us.  I also, as a precaution, try not to dress him until after he poops.  I usually take his pajamas off when he wakes up and let him hang out in the cloth diaper/diaper cover until poop time and then he gets dressed that way it doesn't get everywhere.  However, he makes a very specific grunt before he poops so I'm able to take care of it ASAP.

This is one big reason we cloth diaper, he needs the elastic on the back. If the size 3s don't work I would try a diaper cover over his disposable until he poops. Good luck! Blow outs are obnoxious!

Huggies contained the poop better for us than pampers.

Same here! I haven't had one Blow out since we switched from pampers to Huggies!

I've tried both Pampers swaddlers and Huggies little snugglers, and I can honestly say that Huggies works better for preventing leaks and blowouts for my little guy. So I would suggest trying them out
