It is recommended to check your newborn's diaper before or after every feeding, not necessarily after every feeding.
Diaper Changes and Feeding Times
Newborns need frequent diaper changes, and incorporating diaper checks with feeding routines can help ensure your baby stays comfortable.
When to Check the Diaper:
- Breastfeeding: According to the provided information, a great time to check their diaper is when you switch from one breast to the other during breastfeeding. Change the diaper if needed at this time.
- Bottle-feeding: Check their diaper before you give them the bottle. This ensures they are comfortable during feeding.
Here’s a table summarizing diaper check timing based on feeding method:
| Feeding Method | Recommended Diaper Check Timing |
|---|---|
| Breastfeeding | Check when switching from one breast to the other. Change if needed. |
| Bottle-feeding | Check right before giving the bottle. |
By making diaper checks part of the feeding routine, you can efficiently keep your baby clean and comfortable.
