RP from EFF Nighttime changing

Do you all change DC's diaper at night? We're using cloth diapers (GoodMammas) for the most part and I haven't been changing her since she wasn't having dirty diapers at night anymore. However, the diaper is SOAKED by the time she gets up and smells badly of ammonia. 

When I was changing her at every feeding during the night, it would completely wake her up and I had a heck of a time getting her back down.  I'm contemplating changing her again since she's always so wet but fearful that she'll want to be up the rest of the night. 

 She's not STTN yet and up 1-2 times, sometimes 3.

    I wasn't changing them, but then DS was starting to get a diaper rash so I'm changing them.  He only wakes up once though and after he eats he usually falls right back asleep.

    We also CD and usually use B4s at night.  DH usually changes him before he comes to bed (he's a night owl) so about halfway through the night.  Kiddo still nurses a few times during the night.  He generally goes right back to sleep after nursing though.

    We use cloth diapers and i only change him if he is soaked through.  I just put on a good coat of diaper rash cream and a thick diaper.  I feel bad in the morning that he is soaking wet but he doesnt mind.  If he pooped then I would change him

    I would be nervous about a soaked diaper - I'd say change once overnight if you can - just keep lights very low, don't talk to baby or make eye contact, just all business and very quiet as that diaper gets changed - feed - and back to sleep (hopefully!)

    Although at some point she'll STTN and then you're not going to want to wake her up to change her - hopefully you can land on a CD that will work for you through the whole night.  Can you stick 2 of those extra "pads" in her diaper at night (I forget what they are called - but they look like giant cloth or terry maxi pads, ha ha!  I know my sister uses them, she CD's.)

    Or ... you could sposie just at night ... I use pampers swaddlers and we're OK for the 11 hours or so that Jack sleeps through the night - it's HEAVY in the morning but not soaked through.  GL!
     

    Wheee!

    We CD at night now (switching over completely) and don't change him at night unless he's super fussy and seems to need it.  He's a very heavy wetter and the diaper (BG pocket) is super heavy in the morning, but he's not leaking through the way he was with a disposable.  He hasn't had any diaper rash.
