How often should you change your baby's diaper?
Every baby is unique, and how often your little one “goes” can vary from day to day. The general rule of thumb when it comes to how often you should change your baby’s diapers is about every two to three hours if they’re a newborn, and less frequently as they get older.

Keep in mind that your newborn will go through about 10 diapers a day, so you’ll have plenty of chances to practice how to change their diapers.

How to change
Your step by step guide
Carefully lift your baby’s legs and place the opened diaper underneath. Then place your baby down onto the diaper and pull the front of the diaper up between their legs, and place it on their belly
Make sure the diaper is smoothly fitting on your babys belly by using the colourful markings as guide for positioning
Help keep baby’s skin healthy for up to 12 hours with our overnight diaper selection featuring a moisture-wicking BreatheFree Liner
Lift the two wings of the diaper on both the left and right side, and stick the stretchy fastening tape found on each wing onto the front of the diaper.
Make sure you don’t fasten the diaper too tightly or too loosely. To check this, you should be able to comfortably run two fingers between the diaper and your baby's stomach.
The tabs should be symmetrical. Turn the leg cuffs out to prevent leaks
Once you’re finished, ensure your baby is in a safe place, wash your hands, and clean the diaper change area, including the diaper changing table and changing pad.
You might like to set up a diaper changing station in your baby’s nursery where you’ll have all the things you’ll need for diaper changes. This way, with everything within arm’s reach, you won't have to take your eyes or hands off your baby.
Given all the times you’ll be following these steps, you deserve rewards — lots of them! Download the free Pampers Rewards app to start earning Pampers Cash on your Pampers diapers purchases.
