It is recommended to change your baby's diaper every 2 to 3 hours during the night to keep them dry and comfortable. This is especially important for newborns as they tend to wet more frequently. As your baby grows and their bladder becomes stronger, they may be able to go longer stretches between diaper changes. However, it's always best to check the diaper regularly and change it whenever it is wet or soiled.
In addition to changing the diaper, it is also important to clean your baby's bottom thoroughly to prevent diaper rash and skin irritation. Gently wipe the area with a soft cloth or baby wipe, and be sure to completely dry the skin before putting on a fresh diaper. This will help to keep your baby comfortable and free from any skin irritation.
