The good thing about them not liking being wet with cloth is that they're supposed to potty train quicker! cranberryapple on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-272615 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 15:50:12 +0000 cranberryapple 272615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @artbee: @zippylef: Which cloth diapers do you ladies use? We started our trial and LO HATES HATE HATES being wet!! We don't have this problem with disposables though. pastemoo on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270961 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 16:05:53 +0000 pastemoo 270961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every 2 hours (initially it was before and/or after every feed). Now it is every 2 hours (and after every feed), when he poops, and when he fusses. loveisstrange on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270943 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:22:04 +0000 loveisstrange 270943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ C nevers fusses over wet diapers either. She wears one overnight, we just use extra inserts, and then during the day it's about every 2 hours. cvbee on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270711 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:10:19 +0000 cvbee 270711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @cranberryapple: Watch your baby's behavior and skin. I just change with poops or at feeding time. (He usually poops when he feeds, so then I change the diaper after that, and I'll change it after a feed now no matter what). I don't change the diaper overnight: I just use an extra soaker pad. He doesn't poop overnight. heffalump on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270691 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 07:32:28 +0000 heffalump 270691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO never ever fussed over a wet diaper. I thought she would because they say that you can feel it more with cloth, but nope. I don't change when she pees (because I never know because she doesn't fuss) I just change it ever couple of hours or when she poos.

If I know she has pooped, then, of course, I will change it then.

I think 2 hours is about right, although now I pretty much know when to expect it: right after naps and after meals plus anytime we leave the house I do an extra check. pelikila on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270475 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:25:54 +0000 pelikila 270475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son doesn't really fuss when wet or dirty so we check similar to Mrs. Superhero but at a maximum duration we changed my son every 2 hours when he was less than 1 year old and every 3 hours when over 1 year old. It seems to be about the right rotation. We only change at night if he poops. Mrs. Superhero on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270467 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:18:51 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 270467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It depends a lot on the baby, mine hated being wet, so it's the first thing I check when they fuss. This might sound gross, but I just stick my finger in and see if they're wet. It's so much less effort than getting them all undressed. I use covers and inserts (applecheeks) so I stick my finger between the insert and the cover, not the cover and the bum...to avoid sticking my finger in poo. TMI? Well you did ask.... Long story short, I change them pretty much every time they pee. I'm used to it, but other moms, even other cloth diapering moms, think that's insane. My girls rash otherwise. cranberryapple on "How Do You Know When It's Time/How Often Do You Change Your Baby's Cloth Diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-its-timehow-often-do-you-change-your-babys-cloth-diaper#post-270432 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:34:11 +0000 cranberryapple 270432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just received a trial run for a variety of cloth diapers in the mail. I'm excited to use them, but I'm also apprehensive at the same time! I've come to rely on the blue line indicator for knowing when it's time to change LO's diaper, at least for pee. I am also wondering how wet of a diaper my baby will tolerate. I admit, sometimes it gets super saturated before we change his diaper! Disposable diapers are suppose to be great at wicking away moisture, but I hear it's less so with cloth diapers. Does your baby indicate when they need a diaper change? How picky are they about being changed right away when they are soiled? I'm considering pocket diapers or All-in-Ones! Any tips for a newbie???
