just out of curiousity, no debating or judging :) how often do you change your little ones diaper? how old is he/she, and do you use cloth or disposable diapers?



i've been changing my sons diaper every 1-2 hours lately (he's not feeling well so he has been drinking alot of liquids and therefore peeing like a race horse!). he's 18 months and we just switched to cloth........

My son will be 2 in 9 days. We use disposables and for at least the past 6 months we've used about 3-5 diapers every 24 hours. The 3 is if he doesn't poop or if he poops in the potty that day. :)

When my kids are/were infants, like under a year, it's about every 3 hours or so. Immediately for poops though. After that, maybe up to 4 hours. Just depends though. We use disposables.

My kids are 2.5 and 17 months. Both are changed about every 3-5 hours, depending on the contents... We use disposable diapers, Target brand during the day, and Huggies Overnights at night. Our 2.5 year old is potty training, so the cloth trainers are quite helpful in letting her know she's wetting herself.

My son is 2 1/2 and he gets his diaper changed every 3-4 hours, unless you know:) I use Luvs, have been since he was born. Hopefully he will be potty training soon, I hate changing them!!

when he was little we change it like every hour, seriously he never sat in a wet diaper. Now well he gets to playing I get busy doing things, and he can sit in a WET, not dirty diaper for a few hours. Dirty we change with in minutes as long as we know. We use throw aways.....We used white cloud to begin with, then we used pamers for a while, now we use LUVS during the day and overnights at night.

I use disposable diapers but good for you for using cloth. My son is 4months old and we change him just about every 3 hrs unless he is poopy or gets really worked up about something(he pees everytime he gets really fussy about something).

I use disposable diapers and change my 11 month old son about every 3-4 hours except at night (he sleeps through). My son is a big pooper so sometimes he gets changed twice within an hour...lol!

I use disposable diapers and change my son every 2-3 hours.. Or if he won't drink as much water/milk/juice that day and his pee smells strong, then I change him whenever I can smell pee.

My son just turned 2 and he wears 4-5 diapers a day. He doesn't seem to get wet except for after sleeping (a sign to potty train soon?). We use disposables.

Only 1 bad case of diaper rash for a few days when he had diarrhea.

I use desposable diapers and change my son every 3-4 hrs unless he fills it with a stinky one. He will be 10 months tomorrow. Some days, when he is teething really bad or is sick I change them more because of more fluid.
