Do you change your child's diaper right when they poop?

Question

I do, because both of my children get rashes if the poop stays in contact with their skin very quick. How about you? Don't worry and be true!

I use Destin overnight creamy=...loveeeeee it!

are you serious rebakah? I said I change it as soon as they poop, it souynds like you are the one who doesn't need a child around you if you can't read english. I saw this in a magazine once and I was asking it on the internet.

My daughter and son never get diaper rashes, I make sure of that. I do see a lot of people not changning their child's diaper, it's such a shame.

Answer 1

my daughter is now two, and i do change it right away...when she was a little younger, i used to wait a couple of minutes to make sure that she was finished, otherwise i ended up using 3 diapers. But no more than 5 mins from the time i smelled it. I use creams on her when she has diarrhea to protect her skin. Thank God she is starting to potty train..woohoo

Answer 2

Well I always changed right away more for my benefit than my sons, he had some really nasty ones. But there have been a couple of times when I left the house and forgot his backpack we were only going to walmart or something and was coming right back, so he had to be in it for a bit and it left a rash. Not good, but I am not perfect.

I use CVS diaper rash cream, other brands did not work on my son. Later I found out he was highly alergic to the absorbancy stuff in the diapers so I had to go through a med supply store to get his diapers.

Answer 3

I usually wait a few minutes from the time I smell it to make sure that he/she is done going. No longer than 5 minutes. I would not want them to get a rash or an infection. Especially girls, they are more prone to infections, such as uti's. Also, If I was elderly or unable for some reason to take care of it myself. I would not want to be left to wallow in my feces. Good God, I would hope someone would care enough not to leave me in it.

Answer 4

I wait a couple of minutes just to be sure she's done. I don't use creams or anything and she has never had a diaper rash(she's 15 months old)

Answer 5

I have a two year old (not ready for potty trainin gyet) who will poo a little, come get changed, poo a little more, come get changed again . . . and so on ove rthe course of like two hours. Its frustrating and exspensive (he wears size six diapers), so yeah, I make him wait a littel while. I know its gross, but man, diapers cost!

If he is have diaherra, that different, the I change him right away, cause that WILL cause a rash.

Answer 6

I wait about 5 minutes after I notice it just to make sure he is finished. But yes I change my son as soon as he poops or if he is wet.

Answer 7

I USUALLY WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO TO MAKE SURE SHE IS DONE BECAUSE IVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH CHANGING HER RIGHT AWAY THEN SHE GOES AGAIN AS SOON AS I GET IT ON HER AND HAVE TO CHANGE AGAIN. BUT I NEVER LEAVE IT ON HER FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE MINUTES, BUT SHE HAS NEVER HAD A DIAPER RASH "KNOCK ON WOOD"

Answer 8

I always give my soon just a few minutes to make sure he is done....from the time I smell it....I know people who leave it for like 2 hours....or wait like 2 hours before changing the kid when they get up in the moring....it horrible

Answer 9

I always wait a couple of minutes to make sure my son is finished pooping. If he has diarrhea, I change right away.

My son rarely gets a diaper rash.

Answer 10

Yes! Right away because it stinks!!!!!!!!!
The ONLY time I don't is when they throw a tantrum and don't want a change... then let them sit for a few minutes and they'll come running back - "poop mommy poop!"
