I noticed a colored line on the diaper that changes color. What does this indicator mean, should I change the diaper when the color changes?

The colored line on a diaper is a moisture indicator that shows when your baby has urinated. The line is normally yellow but turns blue or green when it contacts urine. This is a handy signal to let you know the diaper is wet and needs changing.

But you don't have to change the diaper every time you see the line change color. If part of the line has changed, the diaper is still usable. It's usually enough to check your baby's diaper every 2-3 hours, and at night you can wait until he wakes up or the diaper is very full before changing. When the line has completely changed color or the diaper feels full, it's time to change it.
