I am so with you on wanting to do the best for our children. I was the same, but looking back on it now, I laugh when I think of how I progressed and changed with each child born.
With the first baby, I checked her pants for wetness twice hourly, with my second, pants were checked every hour, sometimes longer, with my third, pants were checked when I remembered, and with my forth child, if his rubber pants were sagging between his legs, then it was time to change him!
