How often do you change CDs?

[Lirazel]

Just curious how often you change your LO's cloth diaper during the day. I have no idea if I'm "on track." Of course it changes with age, so say how old your LO is too.

DS is 9 months and I'm changing his diaper about 5 times a day (unless he poops, then we get an extra in there.)

DD is six months and we change 5-6 times per day.

My kids are 1 and 2 and I would say they both get changed every 2ish hours... more if they are peeing a lot, and always right away after a poop. I pretty much change them as soon as I notice they are wet. Probably averages out to 6-7 diapers for the younger and 5-6 for the older.

I usually went through 8-10 diapers a day when mine were less than a year.

I try to change my 16 month old after every pee, don't want her sitting in it, and she leaks with two pees. So we change every hour to hour and a half usually, except night and nap-time. so I think it's about 8 diapers a day, depending on if she uses the potty and if she's having a wet day.

My DD is 7.5 mo and we change about every 2 hours and whenever she poos. We have a diaper service and just went up to the thicker size which lasts about 3 hours. I change more frequently to prevent diaper rash more than leaking.
When she was a newborn, it was probably every hour when she was awake...? Seems so long ago ;0)

DS is 6.5 months and we usually go through 8-10 diapers a day. He's a heavy wetter and up often at night so we change at least once in the middle of the night. Daycare changes him about every 2 hours based on the dirty diapers that come home. We tend to change every 1.5 to 2 hours and every time we hear him poop.

DD is almost 7 months and we do at least 8 changes a day. I try to get after every pee, but sometimes I can tell I missed one. From 10pm-7am she is in one diaper though, unless she poops.

[Lirazel]

Huh - I've pretty much always changed DS on a time schedule rather than checking to see if he's wet. (Unless he poops, then he gets changed right away.) Thinking about it, it makes more sense to check for wetness and change him then. Fortunately he's never gotten a rash from my timed methods, but maybe I'll switch anyway!

He wears a single dipe from 7-7, and then between 7 am and 10 am or so he can go through 5 or 6, including 2 poopies, getting changed immediately after each pee (otherwise I'm sopping up puddles on the hardwood, he pees a LOT in the AM). Then I switch to pockets with MF inserts, and he gets changed every 2-3 hours between then and bed. So he can go through 10 dipes a day easily, and he just turned 1.

I only change diapers during the day, unless there's poop (and there was only poop for the first month or so). During the day, I change when they wet. When my kids were newborns, that meant 15-18 diapers a day. At 6 months old, my littlest goes through 10-12 a day now.

[akind1]

I change about every 2 hours or so (immediately if a poop though), though I will admit when we are out and about it may happen less frequently. (and the days that DH has the baby because I am in the office). DS gets a new diaper upon waking, then before his morning nap, around lunchtime, before and after his long afteroon nap, then usually one more before his night-time diaper.

so 6? ish he is 10 months old.

[DevaMajka]

Every time he pees or poops.
At that age, I was changing 10-12+ diapers a day, but I think he peed more than normal due to food sensitivities (up to 7 times in a few hours). Now, at 15mos, on a "normal day" I change him 8ish times.
