I need diaper help!

[melw629]

For the past few weeks, almost every single poopy diaper has been a blowout. Most of LO's clothes are poop-stained, and I am so tired of soaking and scrubbing new stains every day. We've tried going up a size in diapers, switching brands, and bigger clothing sizes. Nothing has worked. It doesn't matter how much or how little he poops...it all finds its way out. Any ideas?

Yikes, sorry your dealing with that! I could see that getting annoying. What kind of diapers are you currently using? I know Huggies are a disaster for my LO, they always leak.

Has he recently started solids? BF or FF? If he has started solids, it could be his digestive system getting used to it. BUT then again you said it doesn't matter how much poop...Is he pooping daily?

Wish I had more to offer!

My friends DD was like that. We joked she's just an explosive pooper.

No help sorry.

Go get a couple cloth diaper covers (blueberry coveralls, flip, thirsties duo wraps) and put them over the disposable so the poop is contained and doesn't get on clothes, car seats, etc.
Also for the stains you can set them out in the sun while still damp and they should come right out.

starmile thanks for the idea! I'll look for some cloth diaper covers! I had originally wanted to cloth diaper anyway, but DH was grossed out by the idea.

With the beautiful weather coming up this week, all the poopy clothes are going sunbathing! Hopefully they come back looking a little better

I have an explosive pooper too....but in our case it usually happens with the first morning poop. I've also been playing around with different brands and sizes, but nothing seems to help. We CD part-time, but overnight diapering with CD's seems way to overwhelming for me. I have some bumgenious freetimes, and considered throwing one of those on at night to prevent a big a** mess every morning. I had totally forgot about diaper covers!

What is it about overnight diapering that overwhelms you? We were using freetimes overnight for a couple of months but LO is a heavy wetter so we switched to fitteds with covers for nighttime. Easy peasy

Hmm normally going up a size helps us when that happens :/ however I am in love with Baby OxiClean for poo stains, if that helps that part

Second buying diaper covers to contain the blowouts. Maybe use it as a seguey to get your DH on board for cloth. To me, it's less gross cleaning poop out of a diaper than it is off my kid's clothes, bedding, etc....
