Poop and Sleep ?

Valerie120408

If your DC poops and falls asleep, do you wake them up to change the dirty diaper or do you wait for them to wake up from their nap?

I change her as soon as I notice it.  I wouldn't want to sleep in my own poo so I just assume she wouldn't either.

For poop, I would change.

Lol.  I came across this situation for the first time yesterday.  I went to put DS down for his nap, and once he was in his crib, I could see he had small blow out!  For some strange reason, I didn't hear it happen when he was in his bouncy seat, nor did I smell it when I was rocking him to sleep for 5 minutes.  I didn't change him and I felt awful, but I figured he'd wake up when he was uncomfortable.  I knew he wouldn't sleep long and he didn't.  He was up within 45 minutes and that nap was over.

One night, DS would NOT fall asleep. I'd get him ALMOST asleep and he'd poop. I didn't have the heart to let him sleep in poop, so I changed him. Then, got him ALMOST back to sleep- pooped again. He did this THREE times... in the middle of the night. Talk about frustrating. But I changed him all three times.

I guess I'm the bad mommy here. 
If I had heard him poop or had even had the slightest inkling that he had pooped, I would have changed him.  But where he was fast asleep in his crib before I even knew anything, I didn't have the heart to wake him.
