Do you change LO in the middle of the night?

I am sure this has been asked before, so I apologize if this is repetetive...

Last night DS pooped his pants at 3AM, just after he nursed himself to sleep...and I let him sleep in the dirty diaper til morning...is that awful?????

He screams bloody murder when I change him, so I thought he may be better off resting rather than getting all worked up again...Do you change LO in the middle of the night??

Lately, I don't if it's only pee (I still feel guilty about this). If it's really heavy, or if it's poop (always if its poop), I'll change, then feed.

I don't change her during the night unless she poops. I can't stand the thought of her sleeping in a poopy diaper.

if he poops, yes. ?

DS HATES being changed at night. Also screams bloody murder. I have left pee but luckily the one time he pooped he was wide awake when I switched sides so I took advantage of it and changed him. If he was passed out I think I might have left it too!

I dont change him anymore. We dream-feed so I get up and 10mins later we're back in bed. He isnt drinking enough or awake enough to warrant a change.

I always change poop, but leave pee unless it's super heavy.

Loops925 · July 2009

Yes I do. Before each feeding even if it's just pee. I just can't imagine being that uncomfortable.

My LO used to cry alot at the beginning as well; but he's cooled off now

I stopped changed DD in the middle of the night around 3 weeks, our pedi told us to use buttpaste so when we put that on her at night the wet diaper doest bother her like it used to, but shes on a pooping schedule now so she doesnt usually poop at night anymore. I would def recommend trying the buttpaste, its awesome!! HTH

I do- only because it's usually been about 2 or 3 hours since she's been changed. I have a wipe warmer which really helps- instead of having the cold wipe it's nice and warm and she doesn't mind it as much.

Poop - yes. Pee - not unless he is soaked.

I change diapers before every feeding - I do it while I am heating the bottles.

I let her go all night without a change, and her skin is fine.

mkrystalkay · July 2009

Yes, I do change her but I do it before feeding so when she goes back to sleep I can just put her straight back to bed. Sometimes she does poop during her feeding and I do change it then...we just have to rock back to sleep.

I have been changing LO every time he wakes up which means he has a wet and dirty diaper as well as being super hungry. I change him as soon as he wakes up and then nurse him. He is usually really great about being changed. Either he has figured out that there is a meal in his future or I have gotten good.

I have had similar experienes of nursing and then having LO fill his pants at which times I have changed him, offer him the chance to nurse again, and he usually goes right back to sleep.

Your LO might actually sleep BETTER/LONGER if you didn't knowingly leave him sit in his own feces for hours.

Just sayin'.
