How often do you check for a poopy diaper?

This question is for mommies, grandmothers, babysitters, nannies, etc.
Let's say you are caring for a REAL baby, ages 6 to 12 months-old.
The baby is on solid food and formula.
You are there with the baby all day, 8 to 12 hours.
In the course of that time frame, how often do you check for a poopy diaper?
(Checking means not just sniffing, but actually pulling back the top of the diaper and looking for a poopy bottom.)
5 or 6 times? More then 10 times?
What is your "usual" amount of poopy diaper checks?
When I was little, I remember some moms were always pulling back the baby's pants and looking for poop. While other moms would only check a few times in a day.
I'm trying to see myself as a real baby, and if I was a real baby in your care, how often would you be pulling back my pants and checking my diaper for poop?
If I was on solid foods, formula, and 6 to 12 months old?
(I listed solid food and formula because solid foods can produce a lot of gas in babies that age, and formula fed babies have firmer and more fequent bowel movements.)
