Hi Maggie,

I was changing John's daily because we had to switch to gauze. His skin couldn't handle the see through kind anymore and he was having problems with his. I would say "yes" to changing it more often if it's holding in moisture. Better safe than sorry. Have you spoken with your home health care nurse? Of course they would have to send you additional supplies.
