The Tots Bots have to be changed every 2 hours. The Flips are good for up to 4 hours.

When LO was a newborn, it was more like every hour. pui on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1862156 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 17:06:26 +0000 pui 1862156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've been changing LO every 2 hours or if I hear poo. I do find it hard to tell when she's wet. autumnlove on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1862135 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 16:29:30 +0000 autumnlove 1862135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2-3 hours tororojo on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1862097 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 15:08:42 +0000 tororojo 1862097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm a 2 hrs person also and my DH does the same thing...don't know why he doesn't just change it if in doubt! beachbee on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1862043 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 14:00:50 +0000 beachbee 1862043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Same as most others, every two hours unless she poops.

I would imagine it depends on the diaper and how full they get. Maybe pay attention for a few days how long it takes before baby is uncomfortable or the diaper leaks and stick with that timeline. 2 hours is the standard for daycare (at least it used to be) but I definitely don't need to change lo that often.

I try to tell him that 2 hours is max. He thinks he 'just' changed her after two hours. mrsrain on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1861984 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 11:46:40 +0000 mrsrain 1861984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ a safe bet is every 2 hours. That said, this is when we usually end of changing her: - before a nap - after a nap - when we feel/hear her pooping - if she us super fussy and nothing seems to help blackbird on "How do you know when to change a cloth diaper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-to-change-a-cloth-diaper#post-1861983 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 11:41:24 +0000 blackbird 1861983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ How old is she?

So we just check her diaper before and after every nap unless we hear her poop (and you DO hear when she does lol) or if she seems fussy for no reason we can figure-- then we check again. If she napped less I guess I'd just check every 2 hrs or so?

However, when my husband gets home he doesn't know when to change him. It ends up that he goes to long and leaks through the cloth diapers. Is there a good way to tell my husband how to check for when the cloth diapers are wet?
