How often do diapers change for newborns?

Moms think that when his diapergets wet. But newborn babies can cry for other reasons, for example, from colic or hunger, while the diaper remains dry. The main sign that you change your diaper too rarely is reddened, chapped skin. In this case, you need to reconsider the frequency of diaper changes.

Be sure to remove and change the diaper if the baby pokakal. Feces instantly corrode the sensitive skin of the baby and can harm it.

It is pointless to put on a new pamper beforeyou will start feeding the baby. Newborn children urinate and cough during feeding or immediately after it, so, taking the baby from the chest, wait 15 minutes, and then change the diaper.

Children who are breastfed, urinate more often, so they need more diapers a day than "artificial".

If the room is warm, do not put dense sliders over the diapers. Most often, the cause of diaper rashes is extra clothing, not a diaper.

Doctors recommend changing diapers to newborns about once every 3-4 hours. Older children no longer need such a frequent replacement, since they urinate less often.
