Everyone knows that changing a soiled diaper is necessary but moms and dads often avoid changing a cloth diaper after every pee. This is a wrong practice. It is necessary to keep the babies clean and dry all the time to avoid any sort of skin infection, rashes, or eczema. Free size reusable diapers can absorb only one episode of pee and your baby will need the change every time he/she pees.

Newborns pee more often than the toddlers and you must change their cloth diaper every 2 hours. With toddlers, you can stretch it to 2-4 hours as they wet less frequently. That means that on average you will need to change your baby 7-10 times a day.

How to know when the cloth diaper is wet?

Unlike disposable diapers, free size reusable cloth diapers donтАЩt give you тАШitтАЩs time to changeтАЩ signs. Neither they turn squishy nor they have the little color-changing line that indicates that your baby has peed. However, the following tips will help you to understand when you need to replace your babyтАЩs free size reusable cloth diaper.

1. If the diaper is hanging low

The free size reusable cloth diapers come with absorbent inserts or soakers. They usually last for 2-3 hours for normal wetting little ones. But you must change the free size reusable cloth diaper before if it is wobbling or hanging low.

2. Is the outer surface wet?

Touch the outer surface of the free size reusable cloth diaper to check whether it is wet or not if you havenтАЩt used the waterproof linings. If itтАЩs wet, itтАЩs time to change it.

3. Does the cloth diaper seem stiff?

A cloth diaper is made of cotton which gets stiff when wet. Squeeze the cloth and feel. You will know that it is time to change the diaper if the hemp or bamboo inserts are bunched together.

4. Take a peek from behind

Free size reusable diapers are a snug fit around the legs and they donтАЩt give any room for the poop to escape. Rather than opening it straight or poking your finger to check whether the cloth diaper is wet or not, it is always better to take a peek from behind.
