I change the diapers at least every 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and I am not new to baby care by any means. I got a little upset when dcm came in and counted the dirty clothes and wondered aloud "what was wrong with his diapers?" I told her, professionally, that I felt like she was insinuating that I was doing something wrong. I explained to her where and why the diapers are leaking (they are fleece lined and it wicks to the snaps and right out into the clothes), and that older or used diapers are going to have broken down lining. I think that is just the nature of cloth diapers...more leaking. Am I right?
The only leaking Ive experienced with my cloth wearer has been when the diapers havent been washed or stripped properly or fit incorrectly like others have mentioned.

I personally have found that I need to change every 1.5-2 hours verses 2+ for disposable wearers.
