Too many pee diapers?

Cloud's post has me wondering...how many is too many times for them to pee in a day?  Abby pees constantly she just doesnt fuss about it.  We change her diaper every 2-3 hours and have never ever had a dry one.  is this "normal"  Im going to attempt some online research but Im sure that will jsut scare the crap out of me like normal.

    I hope it's normal because Jax pee's all the time...and he hates being wet so we change him at least every 2 hours. My doctor has never mentioned that peeing too much is an issue? I think with Cloud, she is seeing an increase in Casey's peeing...Jax just ALWAYS pees alot. :)

    Ethan never has a dry dipe either... I thought it was a good sign and would worry about dehydration if he didn't have a wet dipe.

    We change every 2-3 hours and he's wet but not dripping wet. I think that not wet and dripping wet would worry me. Anything inbetween would be ok...

    J5 pees a lot too.  I never thought to worry about it.  He has diapers where we try to guess how many times he peed in it.  If he's worn a diaper for 2 hours you can tell that he must have peed at least 3 times!

    Kiran is always wet too, and never seems to mind.  I wonder if Casey was peeing through his diapers?  Or maybe she had the ones that change color when wet and noticed an increase.  Good luck to Casey!

    DS is changed every 2-3 hours as well and I never worried about it being too much.

    Changing every 2-3 hours is normal. For example, our daycare's policy is they have to change a diaper every 2 hours, no matter what (obviously earlier than that if they poop).

    I would be concerned if you saw a huge increase in the amount of diapers suddenly. I think 20 a day is unusual, especially if it's not typical. Then again, babies pee all the time....they don't "save it up" like we do. They'll pee a little here and there because they don't have bladder control yet. So maybe if you were obsessive and changed it at the slightest sign of pee, you could go through a ton!

    Totally normal...I don't think there is a "too many." ?When Ethan was a newborn and even still now he pees all the time. ?If I changed his diaper every time it was wet I would be changing diapers every 10 minutes or more.

    Like you I just try to change him every 2-3 hours or if he poops.
