I'd probably say, ". . . . change her diaper for her." (It's understood that you'd use a new one.)

"I'll be able to come [around] during the noon hour."

I'm not sure if you mean "come around," or "at around noon."

Since you're describing habitual behavior, I'd use present tense: "If you find etc."

hi, thanks so much for your reply

Should be "...change her diaper for her." or "...change a diaper for her."

Hi,

Native US speakers would say "change herdiaper for her." Emotion: smile

You can simplify even more. If you're telling the person to change her diaper, then you're telling the person to change it. There's no point in saying "Change it - check it - if needed change it.

Actually, you can just say "Check her diaper every two to three hours." Really, anyone who knows anything at all about babies knows what to do from there.

I agree, Barb. "For her" is not needed at all. She surely ain't about to change it herself!

I guess I was just fixing the things that were glaringly wrong.
