Diaper changing frequency and issues with your baby's skin can happen, but a diaper *itself* causing diarrhea is not medically possible from a pediatric standpoint. Diarrhea usually comes from a viral infection, increased saliva during teething, a change in feeding, or rarely a food intolerance.
The diaper creates friction or irritation (diaper rash) on your baby's skin in the diaper area, which causes redness but doesn't affect bowel movements. If you extend the time between diaper changes, urine and stool stay on the skin longer, which can trigger rash — not diarrhea.
How old is your baby and how long has the diarrhea been going on? If I know that, I can give you better guidance.
