So my daughter is still having this diarrhea, we've been to ER and pediatrician and they have both said we just have to wait it out. Still no definitive answer about what's causing it, but they did change her formula at least.
But in the mean time, this diarrhea is absolutely prolific. I cannot contain it. Double diapering didn't work. All her clothes are being ruined, she stinks, plus the ick factor of poop being everywhere is about to drive me insane. I am sanitizing and cleaning like crazy. Its so explosive....
Is there anything I can do, any tricks to slow it down or at least contain it????

I have some home remedies I use sometimes for babies with diarrhea... They are off he record though... You can PM if you want
I'm sorry this is happening! All I can think of is what we used to call rubber pants many years ago. Would something like that help? Some sort of barrier over her diaper to contain everything?
Poor little thing, and poor you!

On the double diapering try making the outside diaper as big a size as you can at least one size bigger so it goes higher up the back. I forget if she is at the age where you would no longer need to sterilize bottles but you have stopped maybe go back to sterilizing them. Just throwing this out but what about an infant swimsuit or at least those reusable swim diapers under her clothes? No idea if it will help but if it was me I'd try anything!
Hope she is better soon!
