Toddler diaper changes

How often, or total for the day, do you change your toddler?  Now I'm lucky enough to have a champion pooper so I know that adds to my totals and he drinks a ton so that ups it too but I was reading a blog where she was talking about being down to 3 diaper changes a day with 15 month olds.  Is that seriously normal?

*I should probably add she's got trips so I guess I'd avoid changes too but I could never do that few*

  • 3 for a 24 hour period?  That doesn't sound right at all.  We change at least double that.  Oh, but with CDs we change more, when he's in disposies he does stay in them longer...

  • It sounds like she's just letting her kid sit around in a wet diaper all day. We change Eve three times before her nap and three to four times between nap and bedtime. So I guess that means we go through 6-7 diapers a day. She does have very sensitive skin though so I probably change her more than we *have* to. But I still don't like the idea of her walking around in a wet diaper at all.

     Her blog said "in a day" so yeah I think so.  I'd guess she's not changing a toddler at night.  We also do cloth but even when I think of when were' out of town and using disposable, or when it's laundry day I think I'm changing about 5-7 times a day easily.   Hell my kid poops more than three times a day.

  • I change N at least 5-6 times a day...so yeah 3 doesn't seem like enough to me.
  • C is almost 3 and we still go through at least five or six during the day plus usually one more in the middle of the night.

  • We're on the low end of this scale...  One morning, one before nap, one after nap, one before bed.  So 4 in 24 hours.  Add in an extra if she poops (she poops 2 out of 3 days, just once a day usually) so those days are 5.
