If I left her for a minute she's get red. Thankfully now at almost six weeks she's not pooping at night anymore.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469641 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 00:57:36 +0000 sapphire 2469641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We often changed halfway through a feed after the poop at that age. That way we did t have to wake her, and it kept her awake enough to finish her feed. But I'd never leave a poopy diaper...recipe for a rash and mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469593 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 22:45:30 +0000 lady baltimore 2469593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I NEVER wake LO to change her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469367 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 17:27:26 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2469367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would nurse on one side, change the diaper, then nurse on the other side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469212 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 11:01:10 +0000 Applesandbananas 2469212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In those early days, LO had a hard time staying awake for nursing so I definitely changed him mid way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469208 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 10:57:53 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2469208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right after. I swear changing the diapers after woke lo just enough that he learned to go to sleep on his own very early and always has :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469151 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 09:00:02 +0000 pachamama 2469151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 week old poops during every feeding pretty much. I change his diaper mid Feeding to wake him up and get him on the other breast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469143 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 08:50:41 +0000 Littlebit7 2469143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo still poops during or after feeds! Not as often now but still once or twice a day! She's almost 11 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469133 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 08:34:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2469133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: well after she told me this, my younger changed to pooping only once, maybe twice a day, and so they were big poops that couldn't wait anyway. But if it was those frequent little ones I'd have been ok waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469104 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 07:51:13 +0000 Happygal 2469104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: our doctor said the same thing for an ebf baby in those early days. There was a point where it changed odor and I felt the need to change each time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469090 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 06:44:42 +0000 brownepiano 2469090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did in an effort to keep him awake. Feed one side then DS would take him and change him, feed the other side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469075 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 03:10:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 2469075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed it with this LO (now 4.5 months old).... His little bum would get really irritated if I waited. He was like a poop monster, constantly popping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469068 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:54:00 +0000 gingerbebe 2469068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did hoping to keep him awake during feedings because he could not get a full feeding ever. Like he could fall asleep within 20 seconds and then would wake up 20 minutes later pissed off that he was hungry. We would change before the feeding (pee), mid feeding (poo), and then sometimes he would poop again after! So many diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469066 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:44:12 +0000 LindsayLou 2469066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always changed her when she did this as a newborn. I would change her, nurse from one side or until she pooped, nurse again, usually to sleep. But at 12 days old, nursing also took a long time. I read somewhere that when newborns eat, they trigger hormones that cause them to poop. Making more room I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469063 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:30:05 +0000 PurplePeony 2469063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD slept through diaper changes when she was that little, so I'd finish feeding her and then change her -- it didn't seem to make any difference to her, and it was easier on me to not get up in the middle of a feeding. But I had oversupply so we did block feeding for awhile and only one breast at a time until she was over a year old, so I didn't have a natural break in the middle of a feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469060 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 01:08:52 +0000 DesertDreams88 2469060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 3.5 weeks over here, and about 50% of his diaper changes are intentionally between breadts. It helps us remember to stay "regular"/not go too long with diapers, and wake him between breasts so he finishes a solid feed instead of just snacking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469055 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 00:32:41 +0000 Grace 2469055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always changed a poop right away. I also often changed her between changing breasts in the early days just to keep her awake longer so that she would eat more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469048 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 00:02:43 +0000 simplyfelicity 2469048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely change </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469044 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 23:49:15 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2469044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. But my lo is also not one to fall asleep with a poopy diaper and never pooped that often. With a girl I would be worried about UTIs though, however unnecessarily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469040 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 23:39:48 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2469040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Either during the feed or right after. Didn't want LO sitting in a poopy diaper for too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469039 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 23:39:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2469039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pediatrician said to just put a thick layer of diaper cream on if she's up pretty frequently anyway. With my older daughter I did usually change her between sides of she pooped though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469037 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 23:31:51 +0000 mrsrain 2469037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter pooped during every feed... I think the eating causes reflexive pooping in newborns? I tried to keep her awake during feeds, then change her and put her down. I guess you could also change her between breasts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-a-mid-feed-diaper#post-2469021 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 23:02:35 +0000 littlebug 2469021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Inevitably, during every nursing session, A (12 days old) poops. I swear, I think she poops instead of burps. She also almost always passes out cold, so I hate to wake her to change her. But I worry about her little booty getting angry. Do you change a poopy diaper in the middle of a feeding session, or just wait until LOL wakes for the next feeding? FWIW, she's still up every 3-4 hours. </p>
