diaper change at night

Shauna07 · January 2009

How many times do you change DC's diaper at night? DH wants me not to change DS's diaper, but I can't stand the thought of him sitting in poo/pee!

I change DS's diaper when he wakes up around 3-4am (he goes down at 8pm, and usually only wakes up twice, once around 3 and again around 5).

?The problem is -- sometimes after the diaper change, he won't go back to sleep.....

Do you let DC STTN without changing the diaper???

We don't do diaper changes (or burping) at night unless he's pooped.

He lets us know when it is wet or soiled... we never wait to change it (gross and cruel imo).

Our little man (10 weeks) gets up twice during the night and I change the diaper each time before feeding him. He's good about putting himself back to sleep though usually if he does wake up fully.

We do not change them unless it is super wet or poop.

we don't do diaper changes unless DD wakes up from them. She usually doesn't have a dirty diaper at night, though.

If she wakes up, I change her. But I don't wake her to change her. Generally, she doesn't wake from pee, just poo, so I'd want to change her anyway.

We use Triple Paste Cream and he doesn't get changed during the night unless it's pretty bad. It would wake him up more. For this reason, I bathe DS's bottom every morning and also before he goes to bed to clean up from the day.

I only change DS when he poops at night because he wakes up to go, but he goes down for the night at 11-1130p and is up for the day by 7am, usually up once around 4am. I just use desitan creamy before bed. So far no problems. If I change his diaper he wakes up and it will take a good hour to get him back to sleep.

L usually sleeps 10-12 hours (2 nights ago she slept 13.5!!) uninterrupted.... and we certainly don't wake her for a diaper change. If she's uncomfortable, she lets us know. We use cloth diapers so she hasn't had any rash issues.

When started DS STTN 11-12 hours he had some leaks and a bit of diapers rash. So now that he's back to waking up once at night I do change his diaper. I usually do it first and then feed him and he doesnt have trouble getting back to sleep. He's never pooped at night that i can remember.

During my work week, I don't do diaper changes for pee. They go to bed around 10-11pm and my mom will change them when she gets here at 7:30am.

When I am off, we still go to bed around 10-11pm, but I like to sleep until 10:00am. So I change their diaper around their 2-3am feeding.

If they poo, I change it.

I did change each time until it was hard to get her to go back to sleep. She was only waking once a night (6wks old today!) so, I stopped changing and just gave a bottle. She is never poopie. She went right back to sleep. She has even STTN the last 3 nights. Down at 930 - 10 up at 5.

I don't if he falls back asleep, even after a poop. I've learned that if I change him after he's asleep, we have a rough night. He doesn't seem uncomfortable and has no diaper rash. Now, if he poops and is awake I will change him.
