What Causes Diaper Blowouts and How to Stop Them (For Real)

Let’s talk about the not-so-glamorous side of parenting: the dreaded diaper blowout. You know the one. Up the back, down the legs, into the car seat. You're not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong. But there are ways to stop blowouts before they happen.

Here’s what causes them and what you can do to prevent them for good.

What Is a Diaper Blowout?

A diaper blowout happens when poop escapes the diaper entirely. It usually ends in stained clothing, a major cleanup, and a full outfit change, deep cleaning their car seat, crib, and sometimes for the parent too.

Common Causes of Diaper Blowouts

1. Poor diaper fit
Sometimes if the diaper is too loose or too tight it won’t hold the mess in correctly. That makes it much easier for messes to escape.

2. Overfilled diapers
When a diaper reaches capacity, especially overnight or in the car seat, it cannot absorb any more. That is when blowouts are most likely to happen.

3. Baby
Some babies are prone to blowouts - their poop is looser, they poop more frequently, or aim just right. The good news is they will out grow it. The better news is Buckle Me Baby is here to help.

How to Prevent Diaper Blowouts

Choose the right diaper size
Make sure there are no gaps at the legs or waist and that the fit is snug but not too tight.

Change diapers more often
This is especially important before long naps or bedtime. An empty diaper gives you the best chance at avoiding a blowout.
