Night time diaper changes

GLGB

I just started co-sleeping with my baby because otherwise there we weren't getting any sleep at all.  I was wondering how many times I should be getting up to change his diaper.  I'm using Bumgenius 4.0 a night and I have extra inserts to pad them with but I'm still not sure how often I should change them. (He still wakes almost every 2 hours)

At that age, I changed DS's diaper at every waking. It didn't seem to phase him much as he would go right back to sleep.

Once he was a bit older and waking up less, and once he was only ever peeing at night, I stopped changing him. I added a microchamois topped insert to help keep his bum from being red in the morning. He sleeps now about 11 hours without getting changed.

Yeah, we were changing every time she was awake and wet at that point.

Once DS quit pooping overnight, I only changed him if he had a diaper leak and wet jammies.

DS still wakes 1 or 2 times per night to eat (yes, he's a chunky monkey) and I change him every time, since he's awake anyway.
