questions on what's typical diaper changing frequency

[Anonymous]

Nanny here:

The outlet thing is super weird and would make me question her judgement if she did stuff like that a lot. That said, get outlet covers if you don’t have them.

For diapers, I usually change when they get up in the morning, before we go out for an outing in the morning (so like 9-10am depending on the schedule), before lunch, before nap, after nap, before dinner and then before bed.

? Do you wake your 1 year old up in the middle of the night to change their diaper? I am sound asleep. So is he.

My kid goes 12 hours at night without a diaper change, but we don’t have rash issues. We do use lots of butt paste at night.

Every 2 hrs tops and after every poop. Usually works out to before and after naps and before going outside.

Diaper thing..with disposables I do not think you have to change them that often...every 90 minutes seems very frequent to me assuming no poop.

Outlet thing is really odd..

You need to change right away. At that age I was moving toward potty training and wanted the child to get used to being dry, not vice versa.

Your nanny sounds neglectful and odd. I would probably not hire a nanny who did this, and replace her if for some reason I hadn’t noticed it during the hiring period.

Diapers checks & changes at minimum every 2 hours usually in a daycare setting. Poops changed ASAP. Typically 4-5 diapers a day at daycare.

The outlet thing speaks loud & clear about her lack of common sense.

With a child that age, I would check the diaper every hr to hr and a half.

It is so lazy for your Nanny to leave your child in a wet diaper.
Your baby can get diaper rash or other skin conditions.

Also for her to intentionally point out safety hazards is very clueless.

I would let her go and look for a more, experienced Nanny w/great references.

Slathering but paste to protect from a wet diaper is not healthy. Yes, I'd change mine.

Also OP you shouldn’t have to specify how often to change the diapers- nanny’s should know how to care for a child.

Exactly. OP obviously didn’t hire a nanny. She hired a warm body babysitter, and much cheaper than an actual nanny.

We’ve never had a problem with the overnight diapers. DC doesn’t poop at night. We slather on a ton of aquaphor and Desitin.

A PP put it well - she is a dangerous dud (and that's putting it mildly). I would let her go immediately.
