I do a schedule, but I get off of it if I notice one has a wet diaper, or a stinky one
. Most children get here around 8:15, so I change them again at 10:30 (unless they need one sooner, like those who arrive around 6:30 or 7 they'll get changed again by 9), then again right before laying them down for nap (around 12:45) and again when they wake up around 3:15. One little girl in particular seems to wet a LOT, so I change her again, if needed, before her mom arrives at 5:00. So I try to stick to: 9:00, 10:45, 12:45, 3:15, and sometimes again at 5. Sometimes I have 7 children in diapers, depending on the day of the week, so it's hard to stick to a schedule with that many. By the time I change one child who has a stinky, someone else now has one, or is already really wet. By the time they're changed it's time for everyone else's diaper change, but the 1st one who had the stinky is now clean and dry and doesn't need one yet, but 30 minutes after everyone ELSE is finally all changed, they're wet enough that their diaper feels squishy, so on the cycle goes...
