Because babies need to be changed so often in the first few months (8-10 times a day!), it can get kind of confusing trying to figure out when you really need to change that diaper and when it can wait. What if your baby is sleeping? What if they’re just a little wet? What are the rules?

In general, newborn babies need to be changed every 2-3 hours. With poopy diapers, it’s pretty straightforward. You don’t want to let babies sit in a soiled diaper for too long, so it’s best to change them as soon as you get a whiff of what’s happened (otherwise, poop can irritate your baby’s skin or even lead to bladder infections, especially in girls). With pee, things can get a little murkier. So, we teamed up with Pampers to make this handy chart to help you figure things out when you’re extra tired and need a little guidance. Sitting in a soggy diaper for too long can exacerbate diaper rashes. So during the day, keep an eye on your diaper’s wetness indicator, if it has one (that’s the little line in the front that changes from yellow to blue when there’s moisture inside the diaper). Change wet diapers when you notice them, and try to avoid going for longer than three hours in between changes. At night? If your baby is sleeping, there’s no need to wake them unless their diaper situation looks really dire or you’re noticing leaks (and if you find you’re dealing with frequent leaks, you may want to size up or consider using overnight diapers, which are designed to hold up to 12 hours worth of liquid). As your baby gets bigger, you’ll find you have to change diapers much less frequently. By six months, you’ll be going through 5-6 diapers a day instead of 8-10 and you’ll be a seasoned diaper changing xpert. But perhaps even more importantly, your cognitive functioning will only improve with more sleep. Until that time, bookmark this page for the next time you find yourself debating whether to bust out your changing pad. This article is sponsored by Pampers.

How long before prostatitis clears up?

For acute prostatitis, you will take antibiotics for 2 to 6 weeks. For chronic prostatitis, you will take antibiotics for at least 2 to 6 weeks. Because the infection can come back, you may need to take medicine for up to 12 weeks.

mountsinai.org - Prostatitis - bacterial Information | Mount Sinai - New York

Any bacteria that can cause a urinary tract infection can cause acute bacterial prostatitis. Infections spread through sexual contact can cause prostatitis. These include chlamydia and gonorrhea. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more likely to occur from:

Certain sexual practices, such as having anal sex without wearing a condom

Having many sexual partners

In men over age 35 years, E coli and other common bacteria most often cause prostatitis. This type of prostatitis may begin in the:

Epididymis, a small tube that sits on top of the testes.

Urethra, the tube that carries urine from your bladder and out through the penis. Acute prostatitis may also be caused by problems with the urethra or prostate, such as: Blockage that reduces or prevents the flow of urine out of the bladder

Foreskin of the penis that cannot be pulled back (phimosis)

Injury to the area between the scrotum and anus (perineum)

Urinary catheter, cystoscopy, or prostate biopsy (removing a piece of tissue to look for cancer) Men age 50 years or older who have an enlarged prostate have a higher risk for prostatitis. The prostate gland may become blocked. This makes it easier for bacteria to grow. Symptoms of chronic prostatitis can be similar to symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland.
