She has occasional blowouts, most of the time I feel like it happens when she is strapped into some sort of seat, like a carseat or swing etc. She had a blowout today (not a biggie) but it was a HUGE poop, and she hadn't pooped all morning. I wouldn't worry to much about it, you'll be fine

I'm scared of this too! We use cloth, but we're going to need to use disposables during our weeklong cross-country trip when we move at the end of the month. I've never had a real blowout using cloth, and I really don't want to have to deal with that issue!

I use gdiapers and have had maybe 2-3 blowouts ever...and she is 7.5 months. She hasn't had one in months though bc she started solids.

I mostly used the flushables but now am using mostly cloth throughout the day and no blowouts for months...last one was maybe at 3-4 months

I use disposables (Pampers Swaddlers) and a trick my mom taught me has saved us from quite a few potential blowouts! When you put the diaper on, fold the top 1" of the back flap inwards before placing LO on top of it then finish up like usual. The little pocket created by folding the flap prevents poop from going up the back. LO has been in disposables only for five months and has only had 2 poopsplosions and 3-4 near accidents. In the few near accidents poop was actually trapped in the little pocket - whew!

I'd love to go cloth but we pay for laundry so it's not in the cards for us yet. Phooey.

@elisat I'm going to have to try that!
We use pampers swaddlers, DD is 9 weeks and we had two poopy explosions this weekend one at my parents house one at the inlaws. They were so bad that they leaked through onto hubby's clothes (shirt,pants and boxers!) both times! I hope she outgrows soon!
