Best diapers to prevent blowouts? 🥴

I've been using the Costco brand diapers for my baby girl (and yes, I've sized up already- she's wearing size 2 and she's about 15lbs) but she's having blowouts all the time and I can't keep up with the laundry 😅 We're frequently blowing out through the top/front and also by the legs - it's such a mess!

Anyone have recommendations for diapers that seem to keep the blowouts at bay?

No because they blow out regardless. Doesn’t matter the brand 😂

Any time my son started leaking we just moved him up in size. He’s pretty small for his age but always peed like twice as much. And would always leak. So he ended up staying in a diaper that’s a size or two bigger than he actually could fit. It might look a bit baggier but it was a life saver

I agree with the sizing up thing. My daughter is the same weight and we just switched to size 2 as well, I feel like the blowouts happen moreso when she's at the end of one size because there's no room for it to go anywhere else.

We’ve been using Pampers swaddlers and very rarely have a blowout! We just have to make sure the inner lining is outside of his booty cheeks.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a blowout out the top/front so I don’t know what could be causing that. Maybe too loose?

And my little boy is 15lbs and we’re on size 2s

OK, just reason why I love pampers swaddlers lol, they seem so wide! We also have Huggies and they’re so narrow and on the smaller side and always have blowouts with them. Pampers seem larger so I don’t know how to compare to the Costco brand.

You may need to size up again! My son is 15 pounds and is in size 3.

Also, Coterie is what we use and it's been the only brand that kept blowouts at bay

I use parents choice but I’ve also learned if they are having blowouts it’s time to size up

So far no blowouts ever with pampers swaddlers for me, 3.5 months so far. I think they are the best

We had good experience with pura but now I love kudos!

Yes, but thank you- that's a great tip! I always sing in my head, "ruffles out, no wedgies" when I change her diaper 😂

We have amazing luck with pampers swaddles with the blowout tab.

Huggies are my go to. I had pampers with my first son and now I’m all Huggies with baby #2

we’ve always used millie moon, i think she’s had a blowout twice in her whole life

Thank you all for your recommendations! I'm currently trying out Pampers Pure Protection and I'm really pleased!

The fit is definitely better for my daughter than the Kirkland ones; they're wider and have a higher back. They're nice and thin and really do a nice job wicking moisture away from the skin, but most importantly, no blow outs so far! 🤯👏

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
