  Are you sure he isn't hungry? How old is he? It's very unusual for babies as young as ours to consistently STTN.

  The only reason my LO wakes up in the MOTN is because she's hungry. As soon as I pick her up she starts making her panting "I'm getting food" noises. Even if she did wake up because of a dirty diaper, I'm pretty sure she would still decide she wanted to eat if it had been enough hours since her last feeding.

  My LO still needs to eat in the MOTN. She's 7 weeks old and has only slept 7 hrs once. She usually wakes every 4 hours to eat. If he has his hands in his mouth, he's prob hungry.

  Your baby sounds hungry. Feed him. My little guy still wakes up to eat every night.

  I also assume that, at this age, night waking = hungry. I don't change diapers in the MOTN unless baby wakes to eat and I smell poop. No need to wake/stimulate her more than necessary.

  That seems like he's hungry. Call your pediatrician and see what he says.

  Took the words out of my mouth!
  There's a slight chance baby is waking just for a diaper change. Once you change that diaper then feed baby.
  
  Eta: when he wakes up in the motn I give him 2oz in case he falls asleep, if he does not I make him two more and that usually does the trick. I'm also BF'ing though so when he nurses I just let him go until he's finish. Feeding on demand right now. Our babies are growing rapidly and they need food.

  Sorry I should have been more clear.(wrote this halfway awake)..I do make a bottle but he eats half an ounce and seems not interested in the rest
  
  After that hands are in mouth but he won't take bottle and just lays there and grunts.
  
  He was diagnosed with reflux...not sure if that has anything to do with it

  Milo sometimes gets like that, and he won't stay on the boob I know he's overtired. So I swaddle him, put him on his side, jiggle and keep stuffing the paci in his mouth until he's out. That's only after he refuses the boob several times.

  Is LO on meds for reflux? How does he do with eating during the day? Is he laying flat to sleep? DD had to sleep propped up. Otherwise, she was in pain and would refuse to eat. But that may not be the issue if he's not fussing or crying.

  If LO wakes up, feeds for a bit and then won't latch well, I bounce and burp him until he clears the gas. Sometimes it takes ages.

  At 9 weeks, my LO sleeps 8-9.5 hours straight every night. She's done that for about a week now. If she starts waking in the motn, I feed her. It's rare babies just wake and cry for a diaper. Hope the reflux improves for you!

  Thank you ladies...we were given medicine for the reflux ..nizaridine..seems like everyone else was given zantac..we go to the doctor tomorrow to see if we can get that changed. We also prop him up at night in his side sleeper and hold him up for 15-30 mins after feeding.
  
  Sorry about early post...of course I feed him...so sleepy from no sleep lol

  Our pedi prescribed nizaridine for the reflux also and it's worked wonders! How long has your LO been on it?

  Nizaridine and Zantac are both h2 blockers. If you find that it's not working, you may want to ask about a proton pump inhibitor like Prevacid.  Axid (nizaridine) and Zantac were useless for DD, but Prevacid worked.
