Diaper Poll: Fess up...

JessMil10 · March 2009

What is the longest you have gone with out changing DC's diaper?

JessMil10 · March 2009

For us, 5-6 hours. It actually happened today, which made me think of this, due to mis communication between DH and I. We were at Fridays when I noticed her diaper felt awfully heavy and a little wet. Thankfully there was no poop in there!

5 or 6 hours. We usually only change it about every 3-4 hours if he is just wet, though.

ETA: I forgot about nighttime. We never change him at night unless he wakes up to eat, which is rare these days. So, he goes 7-8 hours every night with no diaper change.

4-5 hours, ran out when we were driving out of town.

AmyDrinkie · March 2009

3hrs I think? ?While he was awake though. ?We don't change him at night unless he poops.

JessMil10 · March 2009

I will say this also stemmed from a comment from someone saying I should be changing her every 2 hours at least. I don't want her to be uncomfortable, but I don't have a diaper tree in my backyard so that I can change her EVERY time she pees... Indifferent

AngieandTony · March 2009

at night probably 6 hours. change at 10 or 11 and then if its only wet don't change at 12-1 am feeding, but change at 3 or 4 feeding

14 hrs. I put it on him right before he went to sleep (usually he STTN for 12 hrs), he had a 2 hour awake-ness episode during the night that made him sleep in longer, and he didn't get changed until he woke up for the morning. Not a single leak either!

(oh and for what it's worth, he's never had a rash. I am not a bad mommy, I promise Stick out tongue )

Ha ha -- DH tried to wait on a diaper change while I was in the shower this morning and DS peed right through the diaper. When I picked him up to go change him, there was a GIANT wet spot on DH's shirt.

Um, that is ridiculous unless your child has seriously sensitive skin. I change DS every 3 hrs during the day (sometimes 4 even *gasp*) and he is perfectly fine. In fact, he is better than fine, he has better skin than I do

When she sleeps at night, can be 11 hours. 14 for my Toddler.

During the day whenever baby eats with before, after or both.

JLW10 · March 2009

So far it's been the 5 hours of sleep she gives us at night.

Sunny1inTucson · March 2009

Probably 9 hours at night.

RobynK · March 2009

Just skipping one feeding overnight -- pee only.

Mrs. Leary · March 2009

We don't wake up her to change her at night. So I guess five or six hours.

Same for Carter though he goes between 11-13 hours at nighttime.

cloud9climber · March 2009

3 hours maybe? ?He HAS to be changed every time he pees or poops - he screams his head off until we do. ?

ncsubride · March 2009

For Kate it was when she slept 12 hours straight.

For Ben it was when he slept 7.5 hours straight.

MikeysNattie · March 2009

10 hours or so b/c she mostly STTN

Sometimes I wake up to the sound of her taking a huge poop at around 4 am, in which case I always change her.

During the day, I change her before/after a feed (or sometimes both, if she poops right after the feed if I changed her before it). This usually happens at her early afternoon/lunch feed.

merr818 · March 2009

Well at night he usually sleeps about 11 hours straight but other then that I would say only 3 or 4 hours but it's much different with cloth diapers I usualy change him every two hours.

ncbelle · March 2009

6 hours at night - he only gets changed at night if he really wakes up or poops. During the day, he gets changed at least every two hours.

KimW · March 2009

We don't change her at night at all (even with wakeups) unless she pops, so 12 hours. During the day, I try for every 2 hours, but it usually ends up being every 3. The longest during the day is probably 4 when we were out and I just plain forgot.

mieuxmieux · March 2009

10 hours. I change her right before bedtime and don't change her after night feedings otherwise she wakes up too much and won't go back to sleep.

cubsfan1 · March 2009

Wow I just cannot believe so many of your LO's sleep for 10+ hours at night!

I am so jealous. I hope we get there some day!

almostabuck · March 2009

About 5 hours. I check her diaper every 30min-1hr when she is awake and it is usually wet, but I use cloth so it doesn't bother me to use a lot of diapers. Plus unlike disposables, she can feel it when she is wet.

karenmarie20 · March 2009

11 hours on the few times she has STTN. During the day, she gets changed before or after feedings (sometimes both).
