I'm not sure exactly how often to change diapers. Should I change even if it doesn't look wet?

During the newborn period, you should change the diaper around 8-10 times a day, before or after each feeding. Even if it doesn't look wet, check every 2-3 hours and change to reduce rash risk. A diaper's absorbency might hide how wet it actually is, especially with newer technology. Your baby's skin will stay protected if you check and change regularly. At night, change before bed and only as needed if she poops—otherwise waiting until morning is fine. General rule: change immediately if there's poop, and for pee change at most every 3-4 hours.
