How many diapers will I change a day?

In the first couple of months, you may find yourself changing diapers up to 10 times in 24 hours. Diapers should be changed whenever they are wet or soiled. Your baby will often (but not always) let you know. With a super-absorbent diaper like Pampers diapers, you can tell if it's wet by feeling for lumps in the absorbent material. Here are some common times for changing diapers:

• Right before or right after every feeding
• After every bowel movement
• Before bedtime
• When your baby wakes up
• When you go out with your baby

Use the characters as guides to ensure that the fasteners are evenly spaced.

How do diapers absorb all that moisture?

AGM is the absorbent gelling material widely used in diaper padding to absorb wetness. It is perfectly normal to see some gel on the skin from time to time, especially if the diaper is heavily saturated. It can easily be removed by wiping your baby's skin. This material has a long history of safe use in a variety of products and has been in diapers for more than three decades. Absorbent gelling material is closely related to materials widely used in cosmetics and in food processing.

Do unused diapers need to be stored anywhere special?

Store your diapers in an area protected from extreme heat and humidity and away from products with fragrances. We recommend the diaper be kept in a dry storage area where the temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
