Poop

Starfish+77

My DD is just about 11 weeks. Every time she poops its a complete blowout massacre. I'm talking up the back, clothes covered in poop type of blowout. This is about every 2 days. I've thrown out more onesies than I can count. And have every cut them off her with scissors to avoid pulling over her head and smearing her face in the poo. Ummm, is this normal??

I had her in her cute V Day outfit and then the blowout occurred. I can't believe how much poo comes out of someone so small lol.

Yup. It's seriously gross. Not sure sure what kind of diapers you use, but you might want to try changing? We have much better luck with Pampers than with Huggies, just bc of the way our LO is built. For someone people, they have better luck with the other way around.

I also recommend Baby Oxy Clean - add it to the laundry to get poop stains out or presoak stuff. Better than throwing things away!

My first daughter was like that too.  Then DD#2, was fine.  We were very brand loyal for diapers to pampers.  It was the only brand that would remotely keep the poop in.  With #2, she can wear whatever is on sale.

A loyal pampers fan here as well and when our LOs started having consistent blow outs, it meant it was time to go up in size.  I just moved DS to size 2 from size 1s.  He's 9 weeks, 24 in and 13 lbs and we had three blowouts this week already so today we start size 2s

My LO is 5 weeks and in sz1s. He was leaking out of NB size and leaks usually mean you need to size up. Agree with pp that you may want to change brands. We use pampers swaddlers.

This is what I found with DD1 too. Blowouts are an indication that its time to go to the next size!

Thanks ladies. How do you handle the outfits with the blowouts? Am I being lazy by throwing out the onesies? I guess it's just the easiest option. My DD is just under 12 pounds and we use the size 1Pampers Swaddlers. Maybe I'm just a crappy diaper changer. I'll try the next size up on her.

I really appreciate everyone's insight. I'm struggling lately between her blowouts, she won't take naps, fighting with DH, her bad reflux, trying to give her meds, etc. it is so helpful to come on here for advice.

We pretreat clothes from blow outs then, since we cloth diaper in addition to disposables, I use that laundry detergent on the clothing and it gets all the stains out. I use Rockin Green detergent. It's formulated to remove poop You can get it pretty cheap on Amazon and it's more cost effective really than a lot of every day brands.

PP said Oxy Clean for babies...i haven't seen that in my area but i use the regular Oxy for stained clothes in a regular load with other clothing to get the stains out and then i rewash it again in the baby detergent with the rest of LO's things. So any of the oxy products will probably help. I think they can clean ANYTHING!

Not gonna lie here.... I throw out anything that's covered in poop too.  Forget soaking or pretreating.. yuck.

I use the oxy clean stain stick to pretreat and I switched to all clear detergent and that is getting all the poo out : my dd ruined her vday outfit this evening as well lol
