How often do you change lo?

Postby Princessmedi » Fri Sep 16, 2011 8:09 am

Just out of curiousity,how often do you change your lo's bum?
Currently I change ds every 1 1/2-2hours,depending on the nappy!At the moment we're coping with just microfibre inserts but I think before too long I'm going to have to boost a bit more! :)

When G was in nappies we changed every 2-3 hours but we didn't start in cloth until she was 6 months x

At every feed (not overnight anymore) and if needs be in between too. Squish is still feeding every couple of hours, and her nappy is pretty sodden with microfibre and bamboo inserts.

seems to be every 1-2 hrs for us during day--no matter what nappy we are using! too many poos, and if it is just wee he will leak around the legs by 2.5 hrs usually. at night we go 12hrs though because we use fitteds and fleece.

i change ds when he needs changing. sometimes its every couple of hours, other times he'll go 3 or 4 hours between wees. i dont take too much notice how often, just that we go through roughly the same amount of nappies/inserts a day. i do know he wets whenever he has food. lol! x

Probably every 2-3 hrs during the day plus poos. Sometimes will be a bit longer if we're out or busy in the afternoon or she has a long sleep. We use mostly fitteds (bamboozles, LL, and some pretties) with PUL wraps during the day and rarely have any problems with leaking. I choose the nappy depending on how long I expect her to be in it and if I think she might poo soon :-)

At night we use fitteds and wool and these go 8-12 hrs.

As and when he needs changing really. Usually every 2-3 hours, but can sometimes be longer if he falls asleep just before a change is due.
