A diaper should be changed every 2 hours to every 3 hours depending on how often the baby wets or poops.

When the baby poops the diaper needs changed as soon as you notice the poop diaper but wait a few minutes because I've been pooped on before when changing a poop diaper right away.

The baby was not done completely pooping.

So give it at least 5 to 10 minutes and then change the diaper.

If the diaper is just a little bit wet then it does not need changed right away and you can wait until the wet diaper is wet enough and full to be changed.

Diapers absorb the pee really good now and the skin will not feel wet.

As the baby gets older they can go longer without needing a diaper change.

A newborn may need a diaper change every 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes and a year old baby may only need a diaper change every 2 hours.

A 2 year old and 3 year old may only need a diaper change every 3 hours to 4 hours.

As they get older they wet less and wet less often as well.
