1. untill the do their buisiness r u mental or something
2. When you realize the child has spoiled the diaper, change it. Leaving a child in soiled diapers is neglect.
3. if it dirty, then change it.. If you go out,,,bring extras
4. Until it is wet or dirty.
5. About 3 to 4 hours.
6. I never kept huggies diapers on my daughter because she was allergic to the chemical they had in their "stay dry" lining. I just left a diaper on as long as I would leave a sanitary pad/tampon on myself...a couple of hours at the most...except at night time.
7. there is no formula to determine the hours you can leave the diaper on. all depends on how wet, the level of comfort for your baby, and the sensitivity of babies skin. you will know with experience
8. Just go by the wetness or other activity in the diaper. I wouldn't leave that sitting on the baby's skin, as they can get rashes very easily.
9. well, try to change it at least 3-4 x a day. more if baby has a rash. this is not a hard concept. WET/POOPY= new diaper DYE_DEE
10. i would change the diaper every 3 hours. unless overnight providing baby is sleeping through.
11. Til they stop huggin'.
12. you should never leave a wet diper on a baby it causes dipper rash i would not leave a diper on a baby for more than 4 hours if the child is sleeping for the full 4 hours the thinking is as soon as you can tell the diper is wet or poopy change it
13. All depends, my daugther sleeps all night and I don't wake her to change her diaper, she has it on all night long. During the day I change her when she feels really wet. I don't change after the first pee, she has a few pees in it. There is no real time line as to how long a diaper can stay on, just remember if its wet and staying on a long time, it can cause diaper rash. Use your own judgement.
14. Depending on the age of the baby. Newborn should be changed no less than every two hours, more often probably. The older they get they can go as long as four hours as long as they are not wet or dirty. Use your own judgement and when in doubt change the baby, diapers aren't that expensive.
15. You shouldn't keep a wet diaper on a baby more than 2 hours at a time. Even if there is only a little urine, It can cause infection and a rash when it sits against the skin for a long time. If there is absolutly no urine what so ever, then the diaper can stay on until the baby has gone to the bathroom. Nightime is a little different. But as soon as the baby wakes, you should immidiatly change the baby and clean the area well with clear water. I would say during the day 2hours, at night, until they wake up, but change straight away.
16. I would say 3-5 hours during the day. Using common sense ofcourse.
17. I don't know the answer exactly, but I do know that my son reacted badly to keeping any disposable on him for extended periods of time except sleeping. During the day they consume liquids, so I wouldn't leave it on very long. It depends on your baby. You should be able to tell when he/she gets cranky and needs a change. As far as night time, if the baby sleeps thru the night and doesn't seem uncomfortable or get a rash, just change him/her in the morning immediately, what also helps is to wash his/her skin with a wash cloth (not wipes they have alcohol and will react to urine that has been sitting on skin during the night). Hope this helps, my son could not tolerate certain brands either. Huggies were ok though.
18. They should be changed as soon as you notice they are wet. The only possible exception being night time. For a newborn, you'd need to change every two hours or when the baby wakes up. They usually don't sleep long stretches.
19. I hope you are not setting your child up for diaper rash, a yeast infection, or a bladder infection. there is no time per se to change a diaper. when it's wet or poopy. don't let a child wear a soggy/dirty diaper. that is neglectful. Keep their bottoms as dry & clean as possible, to avoid any infections.
20. Interesting question. 12-13 hours max at night. When it gets wet but not wet enough to leak during the day (all kids are different). My experience with huggies though is that they leak faster than pampers cruisers (2 pees and they are done)!!.
21. Normally 2 or 3 hours. if the baby is sleeping, then a little longer. I wasn't one to wake a sleeping child. If the diaper is dirty change it immediately.
22. ya u can keep huggies diaper on baby for long time maybe for even 7-8 hours during daytime and rest depends on baby someday he pee little then other day so u can check after every one or two hours that the diaper is not too wet u can leave it on for some more time. anyways as an average with my experience and some of my friends experience u can keep it for 5 hours atleast unless or until it is really wet or soiled.
23. during the day no matter the diaper and i use huggies i don't leave my daughter more than two hours even if it is just kind of wet i change her. I use huggies over nights and she sleeps about 12 to 13 hours i don't wake her and i leave it on the hole time
24. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOURS!!!!!!When the diaper is wet, and you can squeeze it and its squishy then you need to change it, if it is not wet/or poopie there is no reason to change it.If there is just a little pee not enough to make the diaper squishy, then the baby will be ok.
25. My daughter wears Huggies to bed, and at MOST is in one for 6 hours at nighttime. During the day, I check her and change her frequently.
