Daily blowouts after starting solids?

BabyWishing

Has anyone else had this problem? My son is 5 months, formula fed and we have started solids. He loves them! But now we are having daily blowouts. He poops once a day and every time it gets all over his clothes. It doesn't matter what position he is in. We use Huggies. They fit him good and we are not between sizes, but I am thinking of switching to another brand to see if it helps. I am not a fan of pamper because they tend to get damp on the outside. So I am thinking of trying Luvs. Any suggestions?

Luvs is the only diaper we have never had a blow out in. Huggies Snug 'n Dry are the worst. Huggies Little Snugglers are much better and we've only had a few leaks in them.

Honest company diapers have completely tamed my LO's blow outs and she once went through 6 outfits in a day.

We are having the exact opposit problem, grayson has went from multiple poops a day to every 5 or 6 days.

Well, the brand that will work depends a lot on baby's shape, but for us Luvs have worked best for cutting down on his blowouts. He still has blowouts pretty regularly, but not almost every poop like it used to be.

We've been the same. I finally gave him 1 oz prune juice with 1 oz water and that seemed to help. He was getting really grumpy. His poop wasn't hard so he clearly wasn't constipated but it was clear his system was adjusting. 

Then yesterday he would have had a blow out diaper if we weren't using cloth which have elastic at the waist so it kept it all in. 

I never realized how much I would talk about poop (or how excited I'd get about poop) until I had a child

We also had the opposite reaction and went from 1poop a day to every other day (and it can be 2 in the day then). Which I think is normal.

When we started solids LO switched to popping once every few days. He was clearly constipated. However, I think his body is adjusting because he is back to pooping 4-5 time per day with at least one blow out per day. Pampers is the only brand that's tamed the blow outs.

No advice, just want to stay my LO has to be on prune juice to poop, and even being on prune juice twice a day, she still only poops every 5 days give or take. Our pedi said solids will only further constipate her. This gives me some hope that maybe it'll help. He still suggests waiting until 6 months before trying solids.

My baby boy is the same way blow outs with solids! We also use huggies.

My son was the same when we first started solids. He went from pooping once or twice per week to daily blow outs (once per day). It's gotten better though, he still goes once per day but the consistency has changed, so its not exploding out of the diaper. As a side note, he's doing this cute thing now where he will only poop in the morning, if I leave him alone in the pack n play. He waits for it, does his business there, then has this very specific cry to let me know he's done. I call it his morning constitutional
