When is the time to change baby's diaper

When taking care of a baby, there is one job that must be done, which is to change the baby's diapers. However, many parents do not know when to change her diapers. In fact, this can be determined based on the baby's symptoms. Generally speaking, babies can urinate once every 2 to 3 hours, so at this time the mother can also decide whether to change the diapers based on her feelings and the baby's crying.

1. How often should diapers be changed? There is no specific answer. It usually depends on the mothers' feelings. The baby's diaper needs to be changed immediately after defecation, and can be changed every 2-3 hours after urination. Every time the baby defecates, he will tell mothers in his own way, most of the time by crying, so when the baby cries, mothers should pay attention to whether the diaper should be changed. The baby's crying is a measurement standard.

2. You can also judge according to the baby’s age. Newborns have delicate skin and are prone to diaper rash, so their diapers need to be changed more frequently, 6-8 times during the day and 2-3 times at night. For children over one year old, as they adapt to diapers, the frequency of diaper changes can be extended to 3-4 hours, which means about 4 times during the day and 2 times at night.

3. If the baby drinks more water, he will urinate more. At this time, you should pay more attention to whether the diaper is bulging. If so, you should change it immediately. It also depends on the quality of the diapers you choose. Generally, good quality diapers have good absorbency, and even if they absorb a large amount of urine, the surface will be dry. However, diapers of slightly poorer quality will leak urine, and if the baby's butt is soaked in urine for a long time, it will definitely endanger its health.

4. Mothers must not fail to change the baby's diaper just because it is not wet, because bacteria can breed in many ways. Set a time period for yourself and change your baby's diaper when the time comes. Don't try to save time and effort at the expense of the big picture and endanger your baby's health.
