Guest guest Posted February 5, 2000 Report Share Posted February 5, 2000 My DD (8 months) is a puddle girl .. she pees only little bits at a time. If I let her crawl around naked ... there will be a little puddle here and another puddle there -- like a puppy :). Though her first morning diapers are always the wettest. I change her 6 or 7 times a day and the diapers aren't always drenched. She certainly is gaining and happy, so I know she gets enough.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 Rhonda, With the frequent nursing and not so wet diapers I would be concerned, not alarmed but wanting to pay more attention. Do you use disposable diapers or cloth, because that makes a big difference. How old is she? Is the every 45 minute pattern recent or how she has mainly been nursing? Does she only nurse on one breast or only one breast at a time? Are you drinking plenty of fluid? Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info & resources wet diapers From: Sept9mom@... O.k. I have a question how wet is a wet diaper to all of you? is it one pee or soaking wet (not so bad that its neglect ya know) just doesn't seem to have a real wet diaper all the time. If I let her go to a soaking wet diaper I would only have to change her three times a day (24 hours) that just doesn't seem right to me. She does poop every day but she just doesn't seem to wet alot.and she has been nursing a lot seems like she is in a every 45 min mode. She will nurse for about 15 min and then 45 min later want to again on one breast only. If I seem to be rambling incoherently its because she had me up every hour on the dot last night wanting to nurse.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2000 Report Share Posted February 6, 2000 My son has always been like this. His diapers were never really soaked even with the frequent nursing sessions. As long as she is nursing well, seems alert, and is acting normal I wouldn't worry. None of my kids ever did the 8-10 diapers a day thing, usually it was more like 4-5 per day. Kari O.k.

If I let her go to a soaking wet Hi Rhonda A wet diaper in the technical sense is just a pee, one pee! is a pee-o-rama type of kid and I swear he pees every 10 mins! I find it's easier to tell when he's peed in a cloth rather than disposable Gazley Mom to (Oct 8, 1998) http://members.tripod.com/~MysticMom NEW, Second Time Around - Resale kids, maternity and nursing wear! http://www.secondtime.bizland.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 I would suggest if you are concerned about how many wet diapers, use cloth ones for a day or two (if you are using disposables) and you will get a more accurate idea of your baby's output. Or even switch to the real " cheap " disposables, rather than luvs or pampers, etc. to get a better idea. HTH. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 , My son is pee-o-rama type of baby also! LOL! When my son was first born we could not tell how often he was peeing using the Pampers disposable diapers. The nurse at the ped center told us to put a kleenex in his diaper so that we could tell how often he was having a wet diaper. It worked well for telling us to tell how often he was peeing; however, the kleenex had a tendency to stick to him after it got wet. and Seth (8/25/99) > Re: wet diapers > > > > > O.k.

Same with , after he was born he didn't pee at all for almost 36 hours, but now he doesn't stop! > The nurse at the ped center told us to put a kleenex in his diaper so that > we could tell how often he was having a wet diaper.

You can buy diaper liners made by Kooshie that are meant for cloth diapers that would probably do the same thing but wouldn't dissolve the way Kleenex does!
