How often to change nappy

We'll be starting on cloth nappies in a week or two and I was wondering if there were any recommendations on how often to change a real nappy.

Hayden is 6mths and we've been on eco disposibles since birth, he gets a new nappy when he wakes in the morning and then after his morning and afternoon sleeps plus one more fresh one in the mid/late afternoon and then at bed time, so about 5 a day and then any random poopy ones.

The nappies we will be using are a UK brand called Tots Bots and are bamboo so more absorbant than cotton I understand.

What do you normally do, new nappy before or after naps or both??!!

Jack goes through about 5 a day, first thing in the morning, 11am before nap, btwn 1-2pm after nap, probably about 4pmish then 6pm at bed time. There is sometimes a change between wake up and nap if it gets dirty.

However I often have to use a hemp trifold and MF insert otherwise he leaks and I wouldn't consider him a heavy wetter.

I change Joel when he gets up from each sleep so 7.30, 11, 2.30, 6pm. Then hes in a sposie overnight, and also any random poo moments. So at least 5 a day.

i change my boy just before each nap. works out to be just over every 3hours. And we use one cloth nappy (with an extra insert) through the whole night. If wearing a dissposable he won't make it through the night but in cloth he will (i thought this was very interesting). We use eco bots. It is a bit of trial and error. I found when he wasnt on solids runny poo would come out the sides (ewww gross) but now solids have started cloth are better than dissposables. Good luck with working it out for your baby and your nappies

Yea about 5 a day. You can kind of tell if it needs changing by how heavy it is anyway
