How often do you change your baby?

I'm babysitting for a 6 month old, and I change him as soon as he feels wet to me. Sometimes his diapers aren't %26quot;full%26quot; but he has peed. His mom told me that she usually will leave him in a wet diaper for about 2 hours. Is that right? He has a bad diaper rash, and I thought that that could cause infections? I know mommy is always right concerning the care of her baby, but I was curious as to what you mommies do? Change wet diapers right away, or wait a while for it to be full?How often do you change your baby?
If the baby has any rash, I would change it right away. If not, I don't understand why moms on here are getting so worked up about changing as soon as the diaper is wet. Unless you're using cloth diapers, you do not have to change disposables right away. They are made to keep moisture away from the skin, and if you add diaper cream, you have pretty good protection.

For the first few months of my daughter's life I was changing her before every feeding, which was about every 3 hours. However, as a breastfed baby she did poop few times a day, so obviously she was changed more. Right now, at almost 9 months, I change her after she wakes up, before her nap, after if necessary, before her second nap, after if necessary, around dinner time, if she's wet, and overnight diaper for the night. That makes around 5 wet diaper changes, not including night time. She has never had diaper rash.How often do you change your baby?

as a father of 2 .i'd have to say dont wait to change the diaper, as a wet or poopy diaper will cause a rash...How often do you change your baby?
If they have a diaper rash you need to change them more often than you normally would so that it can heal. Moisture makes diaper rash worse. If the baby didn't have a diaper rash then I'd say just change them whenever it is time to feed them and when ever they have had a bowel movement. You don't have to change them EVERY time they urinate if they don't have a rash, but you shouldn't let the diaper get so full that it looks like it is going to pop either.How often do you change your baby?
It is not right to leave a baby in a wet diaper for 2 hours.

I check often and the first sign of wetness (you can tell because the diaper bunches) I change the diaper. The baby should always be dry. Dry off the baby completely and then apply A + D ointment for protection.
