It makes a HUGE difference. Sizing up is an option or switching brands. I know Huggies make the elastic waistband that has the stretchy in the back to make it more fitting/tighter on the backside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doing-diapers-wrong#post-1748011 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 13:38:05 +0000 catomd00 1748011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Time to move up a size. 14 lbs should be getting into size 3s. Might have to try a different brand. Also, pull the leg "tabs" out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doing-diapers-wrong#post-1747998 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 13:31:12 +0000 Adira 1747998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Given that your son is 14 lbs, size 1s will definitely be too small. It's possible that even size 2s are too small. When we have blowouts, that's usually a sign to move up to the next size! And make sure you get it on there tight enough so everything is contained and can't easily escape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doing-diapers-wrong#post-1747993 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 13:30:07 +0000 KT326 1747993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To keep it from coming out the legs, make sure the little fringe part around the leg opening is all pulled out. </p> <p>As for the back, I don't have any advice. We had lots of blowouts too with disposables until he was older (after 6 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doing-diapers-wrong#post-1747985 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 13:27:20 +0000 anandam 1747985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly cloth, but have some disposables to make outings easier... Unfortunately almost every time we use the disposables, we have a poop blowout, sometimes up the back and sometimes out the legs, which really defeats the purpose. What am I doing wrong? Seems like these things aren't even made to contain poo!</p> <p>He's 14lbs, normal proportions, I've tried Size 1 and Size 2 and it happens with both. </p>
