I have no advice, but we had our first blow out yesterday; i mean up her back, in her hair, everywhere..
We put DD in sz 1 huggies.. they look giant on her, but we survived the night w/ no leaks or blowouts.

You might try a different brand, but newborn blowouts are kind of just something to deal with.

This is what I was thinking. We had poop and pee leaks often for roughly the first month, until he got some fat on his legs.

I'd definitely try a new brand and a size up. I think huggies are supposed to fit more snugly than pampers. And I've had good luck with target up and up with my long and lean kiddos.

We were having that happen but we did move up to size 1 and it hasn't happened again since. My son was skinny and the size 1s looked huge on him too, but they work!

Blow outs generally meant we needed to go up a size. Even if the looked huge it solved the problem.

I never used new born diapers. My kids were average sized at birth. Size one was fine for whatever reason. Blow outs are common but I would try a few different brands and see what happens.

We seldom had blowouts. But when we did (ex: after rotovirus vax), it was helpful to wear 2 disposables - one on as normal, and the other on backwards right over it.

Long term though, you might need to try a different brand. Luvs & Huggies gave constant leaks, while Pampers and Kirklands were fine.

Don't know if you are doing this already but make sure you are pulling out the leg gussets so you have a good seal.

I would also experiment with different brands, they all fit a little differently.

i was going to say this.

Blow outs were just a matter of course for us in disposables until he started solids (whether huggies or papmpers) . We took lots of towels, wipes and changes of clothes with us wherever we went if we weren't using cloth diapers.
