How often to change baby diapers

The frequency of changing baby diapers generally depends on how often your baby urinates and poops, and how absorbent the diaper is. Here are some suggestions:

Newborns: Newborns urinate more frequently and usually require 8 to 12 diaper changes per day. Because newborns urinate and defecate less frequently, each change can be decided on an as-needed basis.

Infants 3-6 months: Infants in this age group may urinate slightly less frequently and typically require 6 to 8 diaper changes per day.

Infants 6 months of age and older: As infants grow and develop, the amount of bowel movements will gradually increase, but the frequency of urination may decrease slightly. Usually 4 to 6 diaper changes per day are needed.

In addition, there are some other conditions to be aware of:

Change your baby's diaper as soon as it feels wet or smells bad.

If your baby tends to pee a lot during nighttime sleep, consider using a nighttime diaper with extra absorbent properties to reduce the frequency of nighttime changes.

Pay attention to the condition of your baby's skin. If redness, rash or other skin problems occur, you may need to change the diaper more frequently and take care to keep your baby's skin dry.

In short, the frequency of diaper changes can be adjusted appropriately according to your baby's individual differences and specific conditions. Timely changing of dry diapers can protect your baby's skin health and prevent diaper rash and other problems.
