How often do you change your toddler’s diaper on days they are home all day with you.

I had another option “so often I can’t keep track” but it’s not showing up

Op, it would be an awesome idea if you can run this poll but disable responses.

That way you get an idea of how many people do what and you avoid the arguments

What a perfect world it would be Smile Smile

My toddler drinks a lot of water so I change him pretty often. Otherwise he’ll develop a rash

Why is there not an option for this on the poll!? For a baby, yeah, more often, but a toddler? 3 or 4 times is adequate.

Does this include right when they wake up and go to sleep? Cuz then your changing a toddler just 2 times in middle of the day which isn’t a lot.

We just toilet trained last week but it was roughly 5-7 times a day depending on food and drink intake. This is the reason most toddlers can be trained, their system is predictable and they have decent bladder control. Before disposable diapers most kids were trained around 18 months, when they gained bladder control.

LOL LOL LOL I'm the only person that voted I change diapers 7-10 a day. Boy this is probably very self identifying info. I probably should've gone as amother on the other thread. Those who know me , know about my kids very sensitive skin. And it's actually not a joke. Once it breaks down, it's so so hard to get it good again.

5 times.
after wake up
before nap
after nap
sometime in the afternoon between nap and suppertime
before bed
I admit I sometimes forget the 3rd or 4th change and find them with a very wet diaper later in the afternoon or before bed. Can't Believe It
A dirty diaper I change asap as soon as I start smelling it.

My dd is almost 2.5.
Whenever it gets wet she takes it off herself so I don't have a choice about changing her. I've tried toilet training her but she wasn't interested.

My oldest child had very sensitive skin and needed frequent changes. So did my 3rd. But my 2nd and fourth didnt.

No way I do it every time it's blue. Until toilet training, many dribble throughout the day.

I complained when my 2 yo's diaper was being changed 5 times in school, 3 of them in the last couple hours. She would come home, regularly make a dirty diaper, and that meant she went through 4 diapers in a few hours. That was at least 8 a day between home and school!

Are you the op from the other thread? No one wants their kid bothered and undressed often. It’s bad enough we need to trust strangers to touch their private part 2 or 3 times a day. More than that is over stepping and inappropriate.

No but I don’t get your rationale. Different strokes for different folks.

3 were used between 2:30 and 4 (change of teachers so she had a diaper change before going to the next classroom, right after snack a half hour later and then another right before pickup) and then we'd get home and she's have a dirty diaper at 4:20.
I'm not bringing in the big bucks. Going through 4 diapers daily in less than 2 hours adds up.
I trust the program so I don't need to know they're changing so often to be happy 😉

Kids dribble a lot before they're toilet trained. Any sign of blue on a diaper doesn't indicate a need to run and change it.
My baby made on the toilet today (don't ask) and 10 minutes later had made somewhat of a wet diaper...
