How many times a day do you change a newborn?

Every time it has been soiled or wet, to keep them clean and dry is the most important thing, as they drink a lot ... no doubt they would also wee a lot... you will find they they are more calm when not laying in a wet nappy.... I know I would hate to be laying in one and being defenseless... congratulations on your new bub and I'm sure you will make a wonderful parent... it shows - you are asking questions :O)
