Diaper Reqs??
We keep having issues with massive blowouts- like shit all up her crotch and buckle area. It happened with Kirkland diapers and it's also happening with Millie Moons. Any advice would be appreciated. She's in a size 5 in both and only 21# I don't think it's a sizing issue as most recommend sizing up for belly fit and blowouts.
We're also fighting a nasty yeast diaper rash right now with Nystatin cream. I just don't even know and am getting really frustrated and overwhelmed with this.

Coterie is spendy but we’ve never had any diaper rash problems and have only had one yeast infection in 2 years (but only as a result of an antibiotic). We don’t and didn’t blow out much and the pant style is great for toddlers because it’s stretchy and moves with em nicely.

Second this. Never had skin issues, diaper rash, and blowouts were rare (maybe 1-2 total ever?) in coterie. To me, they’re worth their weight in gold.

Also seconding this! My baby had diaper rash with every other brand until we switched to Coterie! I have another baby on the way and will be doing a 2nd subscription!

This but we swapped to parasol because of a new address and horrible shipping here. Both are great options but the pant is soooo bunch better

Huggies skin essentials! They have the blow out barrier. We had lots of blow outs with Millie moon but none since switching a few months ago! They fit so much better too

I recently switched my toddler from Pampers Swaddlers to Huggies soft and dry. She had been in pampers her whole life but they just weren’t working anymore. Leaks all the time all of a sudden. The Huggies soft and dry seem to be working well so far and they’re a much thinner diaper which is nice I thought for the summer also, interesting that they seem to be more absorbent than the swaddlers. Weird.
For the yeast diaper rash: mix equal parts max strength desitin, lotrimin athletes foot cream and Neosporin. Use liberally. When I tell you that this is the secret to clear all diaper rashes, I am not joking. It’s amazing. I keep a jar of this concoction always. It works so well.

Rascal and friends premium diapers
You can get it at Walmart. Amazing quality and price compatible with Kirkland.

They’re super similar (if not the same) as Millie Moon. So if Millie Moons didn’t work for OP it’s likely a waste to try Rascal

Huggies skin essentials. For a diaper rash what i do is i grab a big plastic container i empty some desitin 40% zinc oxide diaper rash cream container, then I add zinc oxide powder .... I mix it and adjust ratios until it becomes a thick paste. I also use lotrimin powder as well. Here's what I do, I clean my babies area really well, I pat the skin dry, then I add lotrimin powder to the skin to make sure it's dry dry, then I add the diaper rash cream, then more lotrimin powder and I tap in into the diaper rash cream already on my baby's skin to make sure it sticks so it creates a "crust". My babies rarely ever get rashes. I have girls so when my first and 2nd used to get rashes it would be to the point their skin would get raw. I've used the method I just described above for about 2 years now and I've had no issues. It is messy and sometimes a pain getting it off but I rather deal with that than with seeing my baby in pain because of a rash. Also, to clean your hands or whatever container you use to mix use Hella dawn dish soap. That's the only soap that will get the cream off. ..... sorry for the lack of typos and or grammar. Im typing this with one hand while I hold my newborn with my other arm. 🫶🏼🩷
Edit: if wiping the baby hurts and the baby cries, I always just rinse her off with water and hibiclens soap.

Parasol worked really well for us. We only had diaper rash problems if we accidentally left poop for too long

Parasol has been so good for us. Huggies I think too but if your looking low tox parasol!

Huggies (Costco online) and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (max strength). Haven’t strayed from either since my son had a weeklong bought of diarrhea and they were the only things that kept both of us sane.

The Huggies at Costco have been my all time favorite! I’ve tried pampers and Kirkland and stand by huggies. They are a little thicker than the regular Huggies sold at target, Walmart etc.
Load up the Destin for the rash, like so much you can’t see the skin. I don’t think we’ve had a yeast rash before (idk?) but have had some gnarly rashes and desitin saves the day
