Here's my troubleshooting guide for if your infant is having a lot of blowouts:

1. If it's not that frequent (a couple times a week at the most), consider: shit happens. They'll blow out less when they transition to solids.
2. If they are blowing out through the leg, ensure the leg ruffles are fluffed out. You may need to ensure the waistband is not too high because that can sometimes create gaps along the legs.
3. If ② doesn't help, you may need to use the next size of diaper.
4. If they are blowing out up their backside, try to ensure the back of the diaper is as high up their backside as possible putting it on.
5. If ④ doesn't help, consider using a different brand of diaper, as it may fit your kid's butt better.
6. If ⑤ doesn't help, consider double-bagging your baby, by putting a diaper of a much larger size on over their regular one.
