6 hours, barely wet diaper

hrhone328

LO finally had her best stretch of sleep, nearly 6 hours, yay! However, when DH changed her after she woke up, he said she was barely wet. That he had to actually turn the light on to check her diaper. Is that normal that she might not be wet after that many hours at night? She usually has a pretty wet one and its got me a little freaked. I guess one night may not be anything to worry about, but still surprised me. I'll try to keep an eye on her diapers today...

We've had a couple of instances like this where DS slept for a good stretch and no wet diaper at all. Usually his next two after one like that are really full.

Every so often with DD, this happens and then about 10-15 mins after she wakes (nap or overnight 6hr stretch) she will have a pretty wet diaper. It usually happens if she falls asleep about an hour after a feed. 

Last night, however, she fell asleep while eating and went to bed with a clean diaper. When I changed her is morning, every square inch of the cloth diaper was soaked. I guess it just depends on how she went to sleep.

My daughter did the exact same thing at 6 weeks when she slept her first longer stretch (nearly 6 hours). It's like she was so busy sleeping her body forgot to pee.

Thanks, ladies! She was definitely wet when she got up at 8am after her MOTN feeding and she's had 2 more wet diapers, plus a poopy one since then! Sounds like nothing to worry about.

My son does that, as soon as I take off his diaper I have to quickly cover it because he goes right away, like as soon as the cool air hits he goes, and goes a lot! I've been sprayed way to many times! Lol
