How long does the baby's diapers need to be replaced?

Firstly, the replacement of baby diapers depends on their condition.

Babies need to change their diapers immediately after defecation, while urination can be changed every 2-3 hours, with no more than 4 hours during the day. The mothers should replace diapers as long as they finds that they have already had 2-3 times of urine output. It is recommended to determine whether diapers need to be replaced before and after breastfeeding, after defecation, before going to bed, and when waking up. Every time the baby cries, it is important to pay attention to whether diapers should be replaced.

Secondly, the frequency of changing diapers is adjusted based on the baby's month age.

1. Neonatal period: Due to incomplete bladder development, urine cannot be stored in the body for a long time, so diapers will be replaced more frequently. Generally, diapers can be replaced up to 10 times within 24 hours, and diapers need to be replaced before and after breastfeeding, after defecation, and before bedtime.

2. Infancy period: Babies can replace the diapers every 3 hours during the day, 4-6 hours when they are older. And twice or once a night to prevent disturbing their sleep.

Thirdly, observing the baby's expression

When the baby suddenly comes to a quiet stop while playing, or makes a fuss or effort, it is usually due to defecation and the parents need to change the diapers.

SINSON reminds you that when changing baby's diapers, your hands should be dry and clean. Before putting on new diapers, you can apply some diaper ointment on baby’s buttocks to reduce the irritation of urine on your baby's skin and care for your baby's delicate skin.
