Diapers are not cheap and really a baby knows nothing else so sitting in a wet diaper is something they have done since even before they were born since they were in water. We have to be careful of putting our own feelings onto a child. Yes when I am an adult I want to be changed frequently but start saving now because they cost a dollar a diaper. My special needs daughter is changed about every 6 hours but again has never known it any different but yes it costs us about $5 a day to diaper her - cheaper to change and launder wet clothes just gross though.

It all does come down to cost for parents as they see this as an area they can cut down on to save money. If parent is saying don't change often and child doesn't wet through or get rashes then it isn't up to me.
