How often are you changing babys nappy if they havent pooed?

Just curious as we've switched to pants and they don't have a wetness indicator. We dont change at night so we know they can go 12 hours but we're changing every 3/4 hours just wondered how often everyone else is doing?

We do every 3-4 hours, first morning one, then change before or after naps then bath and fresh one on for bed x

Change before her nap at 11 then again before the school run.
Sometimes about 5 before her dinner then fresh one for bed

Every 2-3 hours 😊

Usually before his milk, so 3x, plus if we're going out I always change him even if its not been too long since the last change, because it'd be my luck that he'd leak through 😅 and then another change before bed, so probably about 4 or 5 times a day x

He usually has 3-4 nappy changes a day, usually in the morning, after his bottle, after his nap (if he has pooed or nappy seems particularly full) and then at bath/bedtime

Only when it feels full really so every 4/5 hours

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
