Diaper Blowouts & Diaper Sizing Question

leslienpete

DD has a blowout about every 3 days. Is this normal? Or, does this mean her diaper size is too small? She weighs 8.3 pounds and is still in NB size diapers. I tried a size 1 but they were huge on her.

Usually blowouts = time to go up a size.  Even if they look huge they'll contain better.

Sometimes if they seem huge they are still better. As long as you can get the diaper to close tightly, I don't see why you can't use them. You can at least try it and see what happens.

When DS first went to size 1, I thought they were huge. The newborn diapers were leaving marks around his legs...so we had to switch!

Just another thought...Pampers always leaked on us, esp. at night. We switched to Huggies and have no problems. Maybe she just needs a different brand?

yeah. . .go bigger

the nurse told me that's the sign - I wish I had followed my own advice - I bought new diapers a weeek ago and was on the verge of going to 2's but thought they'd be too big.  We've had at least one blow out every day this week.  Waste of money. . .
