You don't have to change a diaper after every feeding unless the diaper is really wet or poopy.

Diapers are absorbent and they only need changed when they have poop in them or when the diaper is full of pee.

If the diaper is not wet enough or not poopy then there's no need to change the diaper.

You do need to change a diaper after every poop.

However if you just notice your baby or toddler pooping then wait 10 minutes to allow them to finish pooping.

Then change the diaper.

Poop can irritate the skin when it remains in contact with the skin and cause a rash.

Babies or toddlers should wear diapers at all hours of the day and night.

However you should change the baby or toddlers diaper every 3 to 4 hours.

You don't have to change a baby or toddlers diaper every time they pee as that is a waste of diapers because disposable diapers absorb the pee and hold it in away from the skin.

It's okay to allow the diaper to fill up with pee before changing it.

Usually a diaper will be full of pee every 3 to 4 hours.

If the diaper is poopy then change it within 10 minutes of noticing it.

Also it's a good idea to allow your baby or toddler 30 minutes or so of diaper free time to air out.

But there's no harm in a toddler or baby or child wearing a diaper all day and all night.

When a baby or toddler is sleeping they will of course need to wear diapers overnight.

However some babies or toddlers may soak through some diapers and may need an overnight diaper such as Huggies Overnight diapers or Pampers baby dry which also works well for overnight.

In some cases you may need to cut a slit in the first diaper and put another diaper over the first one to increase absorbency.

The difference between Pampers and Pampers Premium is in the absorbency of the diapers.

Pampers premium are a bit more absorbent than regular Pampers are and Pampers Premium are better for heavy wetters and for nighttime.

Although regular Pampers diapers such as Pampers Baby dry or Pampers Cruisers are also very absorbent and can hold up to pretty heavy wetters.

Pampers diapers are cheaper than Huggies.

However some versions of pampers diapers such as pampers cruisers are a bit more expensive than huggies diapers.

But the Pampers Baby Dry or Pampers Swaddlers are typically cheaper than Huggies.

Still Kirkland Diapers are cheaper than regular huggies diapers and Kirkland diapers are actually a Huggies Diaper with different branding and designs on them.

Kirkland diapers are made by Kimberly Clark who also make Huggies Diapers.

In reality Kirkland Diaper are basically the same as Huggies diapers but with different designs but the Kirkland Diapers are a cheaper version of Huggies Diapers.

Kirkland diapers are a Costco brand, but they're actually made by Kimberly-Clark, who also make Huggies.

You should be able to find them in all branches of Costco.

Diaper Brand does not really matter as a diaper is a diaper and will hold the pee and poop like any other diapers.

However diaper brand and diaper quality can make a difference and keep your baby or toddler more comfortable and mean less leaks etc.

Cheaper diapers can save you money but they require more diaper changes and may cause rashes.

The only other cheaper diaper brand that I would recommend besides Pampers and Luvs is Dollar General Gentle Steps diapers.

I forgot to bring diapers with me one day and had to stop at Dollar General to get some diapers.

They were out of stock of Pampers so I tried a package of the Dollar General Gentle Steps diapers and they were pretty absorbent.

They really are a premium diaper.

The diaper brand that is best for toddlers is Pampers.

Pampers diapers have been a good diaper brand for many years and hospitals use Pampers diapers.

Pampers diapers are a bit more expensive than some other brands of diapers but they are worth the extra cost.

Cheaper diapers may be cheaper but they don't usually save you money as they may leak more easily and you may need to change the diaper more often.

It's important to keep your kids skin dry and clean and healthy and keep the child comfortable.

I used cheaper diapers before on my toddlers and thought I would be saving some money but after switching to Pampers I changed diapers less often, my kids were happier in the Pampers and they got less rashes.

Huggies are also a goo diaper brand as well.

Luvs are also a good diaper brand for Toddlers as well and are cheaper than Pampers Diapers.

Luvs are made by the same company who makes Pampers but they are just a less absorbent diaper than Pampers but they still are good diapers.
