Re: How often do you change a heavy wetter ?
Welcome to dry spells and big wees!!!
We have one sort of advantage! Our DD tends to have strong smelling urine, so we often pick it up pretty quick. The other one is that a big wee tends to make the nappy heavier and it droops a bit!! We are also a one wee can mean fully wet hemp fitted with its booster - and extra microfibre folded cloth if I suspect a really big one eg first wee for the day!!
I have never checked constantly though - I'd go crazy. I also make sure I have good enough nappies that they can hold a big wee, so she can get on with learning, exploring and having fun and especially when out, not being interupted by Mum wanting to change her nappy all the time. Cloth nappies shouldn't mean toddlers are disadvantaged by more frequent nappy changes and wet clothes.
Some days DD wees a few times, some days lots, probably dependent on the size of each one!! I get a feel for the day and go from there. I definitely check before heading out, highchair use, naps etc!!
Have fun with your kids,
