Do you ever get blow outs?

Question

When I’ve nannied with cloth diapers I’ve only had one blow out, and afterwards I realized I had buttoned the diaper wrong...
This post is inspired by another post where I asked about how much clothes I need to get (future first time mama here) and it was basically all flack about how I wasn’t realistic about how much clothes I need because apparently babies have blow outs over 3x per day? Do I just have an abnormal experience with not experiencing this? I mean, I’ve had it where they’ve wet through the diaper several times when they were transitioning to having a bladder that lasts through the night (thus letting out A LOT of urine when they wake up and sometimes I’d forget to double stack the liners) but through my 2.5 years nannying I’ve never had a cloth blowout without obvious cause...
Do any of you get blow outs?

Answer

I have never had a blowout in my cloth. It’s one of my top reasons for using cloth!

Answer

Ive has one blowout between 3 kids in cloth and it was because he had explosive diarrhea. It just barely came down his thighs. BARELY.

Answer

No blowouts in cloth. Only leaks from improper fit or not enough padding from an extra insert.

Answer

the moms who experience frequent blowouts are using disposables! I used them until my son was 3 months and then switched to cloth so in my experience yes you can expect 3+ blowouts everyday (with disposables) I have only experienced one blowout with cloth and it was when my son had explosive diarrhea and was sitting in his highchair while wearing a kushies cloth diaper (which are very narrow at the thighs) since then I got rid of them😂

Answer

We've been cloth diapering for 2.5 years and have only had one blow out in the very beginning due to user error.

Answer

Just once when she outgrew her newborn diapers

Answer

Never. We do cloth and disposable both and he’s actually only ever had one blowout in the 7.5 months he’s been alive...and it was in a disposable. I send my son to his great aunts in his PJs on and one outfit in his diaper bag. I figure she can use the PJs as back up but she never had to. He very rarely goes through more than one outfit when he’s dressed for the day. People are so weird about this.

Answer

I get flack for the minimalism of clothes i have too. I have nannied for a bit too and just  have not had issue of needing to change outfits many times a day. Do what you feel is right, I have my cloth options  ready and my set amount of putdits for first 6 months and will adjust if need be. But from my experiences too more often families have too much and I never got to bottom of drawer/pile of clothes before the washing ended up on top.

Answer

I never had a blow out with cloth :)

Answer
