How much fluid can a typical disposable nappy hold?

Question

In our son's case, not enough.. but how much is that?

Answer 1

17,000 litres, but no matter how much they pee in it, they will always save a tiny bit for when you take the nappy off, so they can widdle all over themselves, the changing mat and if you are really lucky, you as well! thoughful little creatures aren't they?

Answer 2

Well, it depends on the size of the diaper and the size of your child. There's different sizes for different children, of course, and it tells you on the diaper package how much weight they will hold. If the ones you are using aren't holding enough, you should probably either go to a bigger size, or change the diapers more often.

Answer 3

I dont know but very young babies need changing up to 10 times in a day, when they get to potty training age about 3-4

Answer 4

it depends on the brand of nappy if you get a cheap one not very much but the better ones will last a bit longer

Answer 5

I used to use Huggies and found they leaked every 1.5 hours for my little girl.

I actually now use Asda's george brand nappies and they are brilliant - a friend recommended them to me.

Hope this helps xx

Answer 6

If the package says 10 lbs. - for example, it will hold 10 lbs of pee. If it says 20 lbs, well, you see where I am going with this one..........
I like the answer that was written: ask the astronaut lady!!! haha

Also, my husb. used to say, just put em in the tub, and change the water once in a while. (I didnt!)

Answer 7

It would depend on the age of your son. I would say you should be changing him at least every couple of hours

Answer 8

Probably 1/8th of a tsp.

Answer 9

Does it matter ? The nappy should be changed after EVERY pee anyhow.

Answer 10

it deepende on how old your soon is and how many time he is feeding along with if he is feeding well or not
