Wet diapers?

Dd is one week old today. I noticed she has lots of poopy diapers pretty much one for ever feed. it hard to tell is she has peed as well. She doesn't have a lot of wet only diapers. Should I be concerned?

Re: Wet diapers?

  • Chances are all those dirty diapers are also wet... I remember around that age, every diaper was wet and dirty. 

    What kind of diapers are you using?  We always liked the Pampers Swaddlers which have the wetness indicator, and we could tell sometimes based on where the indicator had turned blue whether it was wet as well or just dirty.

  • My DD was the same for the first month or so.  Sometimes if you hold the diaper up to the natural light, you can tell.

    Same!  We use thes Swaddlers to tell if DS has a wet diaper. I love that thing because if I know he has a dirty diaper but the indicator is showing he's dry, I'm EXTRA alert for the potential of being sprayed! 

     I would guess your daughter is wetting as well as having dirty diapers.  This may sound gross, but when I was younger and would babysit, I'd just feel the inside of the diaper to determine if it was wet - you may give that a shot?
