How often do you change Pee Pee diapers?

I feel like I am changing her pee pee diapers all the time, I guess the second I smell pee, I change her. I guess the better question is how often is necessary? I hate to have her sitting in it, but I hate using 10  or more diapers a day just on pee!! Sometimes I don't even feel dampness when I take them off, and I think her pee smells stronger because of the formula.

I change her as soon she's wet, but don't worry, right around 5-6 months, they can start going a lot longer between pees!  (Having her go coverless around the house is helpful since I know right away.)  I swear our diaper usage dropped by nearly half right at 6 months, and again right after a year.  She now goes only 6-8 times a day, and she usually holds it all morning long so that's about 4 hours right there.  But if she peed 4 minutes after a change, I'd change her then too...that just hasn't happened in well over a year.  She used to pee/poop a couple dozen times a day.

At daycare they change them every 2 hours, unless you ask them to be changed every hour.  So we pretty much do every 2 hours at home too.

Usually every 2-3 hours. I'll feel the diaper, and it will be firm if it's full o' pee... if it still feels dry, I'll usually hold off (unless it's been a few hours)

I change him whenever he eats, so about every 3-4 hours.
