How often do you change your babies nappy?

Question

I have a 7 week old and was recently hanging out with some people who found it so strange I Change my babies nappy after every wee…. Which means A LOT lol
What’s the norm??
My baby will start fussing the minute he does a wee every single time. But if he poops he doesn’t fuss at all. I usually only know because I can smell it. 
 
What does everyone else so?

Answer

You are doing it correctly don’t worry. Cuz if they sit in it for to long could lead to infections 😅

Answer

i do after every pee too lol if i know my son peed or pooped, i’m not letting him sit in the diaper to “get more use out of it” some moms r just cheap n lazy

Answer

I only change if he's pooed or has done lots of wees as I felt the nappy after he had weed and it felt dry to the touch because the nappy had absorbed it. I also apply bum cream often and he's had no issues. He's 10 weeks old now

Answer

For the first 1-2 months, I checked her daiper every time she ate and changed it if wet at all (14-18 per day). Once she hit the 2 month mark, if it was just a tiny bit a pee, I waited an extra hr or so before changing it to reduce the number of daipers I needed to buy (8-12 per day). Daipers are expensive, but i didn't want to risk a rash or infection with a newborn.

Answer

When Mine was that young I would do at least 10-15 nappy changes a day. Generally with every feed she had a new nappy. She's 7.5 months and it feels like she goes through far less nappy changes now. She's changed every few hours during the day and once during the night (usually in the early morning 5-7am)

Answer

I changed everyone for the first few weeks. But after going through like 20 diapers a day it was just too much. Diapers are made to pull the urine and moisture away from the skin to keep baby dry. Obviously they shouldn’t be sitting in a full diaper for hours and hours but it’s ok to let them go longer if baby is comfortable. We got into a pretty good routine where we were changing after every feeding so about every 2 hours. If she pooped we’d change immediately.
