You're supposed to change them when the diaper is threatening to pop, right? Isn't that what the weight on the bag means? No, really, I'm a nanny to 18 month old twins (soon to be a mommy, hooray!) and we go with the first thing in the morning, mid morning, before nap, after nap, before dinner, and before bed schedule. And of course as soon as there is a clean diaper mid morning, I can almost guarantee a poop from each of them. They've taken to hiding behind things while they're pooping, so I don't change their diaper. I don't think they realize yet that it's not only the red face and grunting that gives them away!

Seriously, I think my 9-week old gets about 20 changes per day. Am looking forward to the more mature 5-6 that most people seem to be reporting. I think we change him more often because he's in cloth, and because it's the first thing we check every time he cries, and he cries A LOT! Actually, when he sleeps for several hours, or is content for a long stretch while playing in his bouncy seat, I notice the diaper after that is a lot wetter, like several pees worth! -- and he hasn't said a pee-p. Thanks for opening this discussion jennifer/playgroupie/binky b! Very informative for new-mom-me. Julie @ the calm before the stork's last blog post..new baby, rev. 3?

Every two hours, unless he poops first, and he usually poops first. And NO one misses it when Benjamin has pooped. Emily R's last blog post..Zachary the introvert

we do cloth too - so I change as soon as the chuffing stops that alerts me that it's time to do laundry. otherwise ... uh.. when my hand feels damp or when I'm getting ready to leave the house. diaper changes are an olympic event right now. I dread them. Dawn's last blog post..6 truths and a lie

Since we're a cloth diaper family, I change S every few hours. If he poops, I try to get to it pronto, since it makes a way bigger mess if it just sits there. mrs. mustard's last blog post..Definitely NOT overreacting

NOOOOO!! I clicked the link!! LOL We do prolly 5 diaps a day?? I use an overnight, which he stays in until after breakfast, b/c the kid gets HANGRY (hungry+angry), which means I can't change him till he gets his food (and those overnights are awesome!). Fresh diap after breakfast which usually lasts until after lunch. Fresh diap before nap #2 and usually a change in the late afternoon/early eve. Then the overnight. So, 4-5 a day I would say. Less if I forget, more if there's a lot of "production" going on. Savvy? VDog's last blog post..This Is What A Preemie Looks Like - 5 Weeks Old

Thanks so much for bringing this up - I feel so much better about my diapering now. Lovebug probably gets 5 changes a day, Ironflower gets new training pants maybe twice a day. Barring bizarre happenings, of course. Jerseygirl89's last blog post..Once I Saw Sarah Jessica Parker and She Looked Cool and Edgy*

So happy to past those days. But I think it was around 5-6. We are even in big girl underwear at night now. In fact, if anyone wants two brand new packs of Princess or Dora pull-ups, email me. Just a little random act of kindness. tommie's last blog post..manic monday

I average between 5-6 diapers a day. I remember when we visited daycare once, and I asked that question (for an infant) and they said at least 3 times. I high-tailed it OUTTA there! P.S. Love the tomorrow post. MamaGeek's last blog post..Contact
