She goes about 12 hours in the diaper and is starting to feel wet so we need to find a thicker diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-729031 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:35:40 +0000 mole 729031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but he's still pooping a bit after each feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-728119 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:23:37 +0000 dolphin 728119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she wakes up before midnight I change her diaper but if its after I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726760 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:28:37 +0000 sera_87 726760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if its dirty. (Which it never is). I'd say he goes 12-14 hrs at night &amp; it is SO full when I change it in the morning. We use baby dry too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726743 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:26:17 +0000 shopaholic 726743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually skip the diaper change during just one of her MOTN feedings. I feel bad letting her go more than 7-8 hrs in a wet diaper. But she's still pretty "new"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726730 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:24:16 +0000 hilsy85 726730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: uuuugh I hate that. That first stretch gives you hope! And then it's all awful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726723 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:23:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 726723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm trying it tonight! she did a 5h stretch last night (!?!?!) and then woke every 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726691 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:17:41 +0000 Running Elley 726691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

I just figure if she wakes to eat, why not do it then too? Does it stimulate or wake up babies too much or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726579 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:57:14 +0000 matador84 726579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for poop. I just accidentally ordered baby drys instead of swaddlers and I miss the wetness indicatior but they don't leak as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726577 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:56:39 +0000 hilsy85 726577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: ha yeah I know what you mean!! I don't know if it's just coincidence, but his night wakings have decreased since we started using the baby dry and changing at night... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726572 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:55:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 726572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: hmm maybe I'll pick up a small package of baby dry to try for overnights. she never leaks through to her clothes, but man if that thing doesn't weigh 10 lbs in the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726565 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:54:15 +0000 hilsy85 726565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't for a few months, but now I do, because I think his full diaper was waking him up at night...we also started using baby dry, which definitely prevents leaks overnight better than swaddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726500 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:37:38 +0000 iheartleopardprint 726500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I put nappy rash cream on every morning just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726282 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:18:40 +0000 rawrasaur 726282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not if I can help it, but I do occasionally for various reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726212 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:56:44 +0000 Mrsbells 726212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to but now anymore now that she is nearly 12 months old. For over night I used either cloth, over overnight diapers like cruisers or baby dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726201 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:54:54 +0000 dagret 726201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>only if he's fussing after eating. He hates a wet diaper, but the baby dry diapers help with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726151 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:43:54 +0000 ladyfingers 726151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, unless he's really hassling me about going back down or I can smell the poop. He's still swaddled and I swaddling/re swaddling wakes him up too much and if we change him before feeding him he gets really loud and angry lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726132 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:40:12 +0000 JerricaBenton 726132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We check her diaper whenever she wakes in the night. She will fuss if she's wet. She only gets up once or twice though. If she sttn we wouldn't wake her to change her though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726122 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:37:45 +0000 mrskc 726122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not anymore. I used to when he was a newborn and pooped a lot. Now it just wakes him up too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726116 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:37:03 +0000 MrsStar 726116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally not, but I am at the moment since our current packet of disposables hasn't been leak-proof so if she wakes during the night then I do. Lo gets diaper rash cream put on every night after her bath in case she doesn't get changed during the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-726103 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:35:23 +0000 Smurfette 726103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least once. Although she wakes 3-4 times a night, to eat or fuss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-725846 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:42:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 725846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. DH does, though, if he's the one that goes in. I'll only do it if he's woken up and I'm having a hard time getting him back to sleep. Or if I know for sure he's pooped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-725841 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:41:54 +0000 lindseykaye 725841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ktgee04: I changed LO at every night waking until she was a few months old. Part of it was because I wanted to make sure when she eventually went back to sleep she would sleep as long as possible without anything that could wake her up. The other part was wanting a fresh diaper on that brand new baby skin. Now? 12 hours on the regular :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-725839 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:41:27 +0000 NovBaby1112 725839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo wakes up 1x a night to nurse, so I change her diaper then since she is up anyways. Its usually pretty full at that changing, so I would feel bad making her go all night in it! If she was sttn then I def wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-725832 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:39:44 +0000 ktgee04 725832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change DS every time he woke up when he was a newborn but I think that was mostly b/c I had no idea what I was doing. Now he goes all night in one diaper, especially since he STTN.</p> <p>Question: is it normal/appropriate to change a NB several times at night when they wake? Or should you limit interactions? I guess I'm not sure due to diaper absorbancy etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-baby-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-725815 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:37:14 +0000 purrpletulips 725815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>only for poop</p> <p>we were using Pamper's Baby Dry diapers all the time but just had to switch to Huggie's Overnight because DS kept leaking. </p>
