Diaper usage - when to change

2022-05-06 09:04:39
My baby is 2 months old. I'm using diapers for him during night time as he urine's mostly and need to change frequently. I'm applying powder to diaper to avoid rashes. I'm changing 2 diapers from night 10 to morning 10. (As 2 diapers sufficient as per his urine, if more using another diaper) How frequently should I change a diaper.can I use it for 6 hours? Please suggest. Thank you Doctor.
