After a while it got to be less and less, I also find that he never poops at night and has been peeing less and less at night.</p> <p>Once he wakes up in the morning the flood gates open up and I have to change him a couple of times. It does seem like he is getting better control over it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200738 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 23:21:29 +0000 skibobrown 200738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather not change DD's diapers in the night... BUT, now she sleeps all the way through from 7:30 PM until 4:30-5:30 AM. I feel like it's unfair to leave her in a wet diaper that has been on her for 10 full hours, so I change her. Of course, it totally riles her up, so then I have a harder time putting her back to sleep. Oh well. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks she extends her sleep by another hour or two, and then she'll truly be sleeping through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200680 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:38:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 200680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only change him after his middle of the night bottle. He usually falls right back asleep after he eats and gets changed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200626 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:59:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 200626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only poop but she never poops at night anymore. I stopped changing at night around 2 months? Maybe sooner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200624 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:53:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 200624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!! I can't imagine making her stay in a dirty diaper....It usually wakes her up a lot, but I make the sacrifice (Staying up to put her back down) so she feels clean! She usually poops after every feeding session so if I didn't change her in the night that means she would be sitting in three poops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200513 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:02:13 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 200513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when he was small. Probably stopped after 3 months or so unless he poops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200510 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:55:05 +0000 lavender 200510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if she was awake for a feeding other than that it's first thing in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200509 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:45:53 +0000 brownie 200509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed the diaper if it made it a better feeding (i.e he needed to be awake) otherwise we didn't change the diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200461 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:48:22 +0000 heffalump 200461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did every time I woke up to feed her. But now that she sleeps 12 hours, she goes 12 hours in the same diaper. I put an extra liner in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200455 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:34:49 +0000 Sammyfab 200455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't change at all until the morning because he rarely poos overnight. I would change if he had a big poo and he was up for a feed, but I can't remember the last time that happened (the pooping, I mean :)). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200444 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:06:38 +0000 littlek 200444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We change our LO diaper everytime we feed him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200440 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 10:57:52 +0000 cvbee 200440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same. I used to when he woke up a million times all night. I'd change at every feeding. But now I try not to. This week I changed him once in the middle of the night because I could smell his poop. He normally doesn't poop all night until 4:30am or up to 6am....at that time he grunts and groans and squirms and toots and poops. I think it is pretty funny. And most of the time he goes back to sleep after doing it. So then I wait til his next wake-up and feed and change him (and actually bathe him) then. So, he's going like 10 or even 12 hours in one diaper. To make up for it, I bathe him in the morning and try to give him some diaper-free time after I bathe him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200439 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 10:50:32 +0000 chopsuey 200439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when she woke often.. Once she started sleeping longer stretches I stopped middle of the night changes.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200425 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 10:22:18 +0000 mynoahbear 200425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually check her diaper before I go to bed. If it's wet, I'll change it. She's usually is in such a deep sleep that she doesn't even wake up if I change her carefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200421 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 10:12:14 +0000 regberadaisy 200421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. If it's been more than 6hours then I change her. When she was much younger and waking every 2 hours I didn't change her every single time either.<br /> In the last week I've let her go overnight if it's been less than 6hours. I plan on buying overnight diapers soon. She'll be big enough for them soon! She's currently in size 2 and will probably only be in them for another week or 2. And the Huggies Overnites start at size 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200405 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:52:33 +0000 Sweet T 200405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was younger, I would change him every time he woke up to eat. I'd change his diaper, re-swaddle him, feed him, and he'd go right back to sleep. He's a pretty heavy wetter. If he wakes in the middle of the night to eat these days, we still change him first. We don't have any problems with him going back to sleep but I think we would if we didn't do a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200403 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:46:14 +0000 pastemoo 200403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same as you--initially I changed him every time, and now I'm trying to stop changing him as much-only if he's wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200391 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:24:42 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 200391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is a heavy wetter and will leak if we don't change her once. She wakes once per night so we just change it then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200389 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:22:52 +0000 Andrea 200389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed DD's diaper if I was also feeding her. If she woke up and just needed to be soothed, then I didn't change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200387 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 09:22:49 +0000 volksgirl64 200387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do most of the time. I typically nurse on one side, then DH changes her and then I nurse on the other side. That seems to work well in getting her a clean diaper and making sure she's full and sleepy for another chunk of sleep. Of course, she's only 5 weeks old so it may change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200374 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:51:07 +0000 loveisstrange 200374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I change LO, re-swaddle her and the feed her. She has no problems going back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200372 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:46:34 +0000 prettylizy 200372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the exact same thing as you. If I know she's poopy or it's upsetting her I change her, but otherwise, I just feed her and put her back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200371 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:44:13 +0000 erwoo 200371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do when I wake him to nurse him only b/c I change his diaper right before I nurse him during the day time. Yes, everyone tells me NOT to wake him if he can sleep through which he can most nights; but he seems to go right back to sleep afterwards. Most times he falls asleep while I nurse him anyway. But if I don't wake up I don't bother. I use Pampers Baby Dry. I find them the best in containing pee overnight. You can always go a size up if your LO pees a lot overnight. I did that with my oldest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-babys-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-200368 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:34:24 +0000 winniebee 200368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first few weeks I did, but now (5.5 weeks) I find that he is too stimulated/awake if I change his pants in the middle of the night (and all my friends told me I was crazy for changing diapers in the middle of the night!) Of course, if he has a leak or if I know he has had a big poop I will change them....</p> <p>Am I a bad mom?? Do you change your LO's diapers in the middle of the night? </p>
