We only do it because we can... he doesn't get woken up by it and we feel better changing it midway than not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-54124 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:37:27 +0000 cupcakemama 54124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed LO during night feeds for the first 4 weeks. After that LO has slept through every night so we just change the heavy nappy in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53723 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:59:20 +0000 mrstilly 53723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed DS at every feeding during the night from birth to about 8 or 10 weeks. He started sleeping through the night most nights around then. If he was awake when he got up (as opposed to sleepy fussing) I'd change him then feed him. Lately just popping his pacifier in his mouth and holding him for a few minutes gets him back to sleep. </p> <p>There are a few times he fell asleep early and I hadn't changed his diaper for bedtime yet. I let him sleep for a bit, then did a diaper change while he was asleep. I've managed to change his diaper about half a dozen times without waking him up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53599 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:04:53 +0000 Maysprout 53599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed her at night until she stopped pooping at night. I don't remember when she stopped, maybe around 2 or 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53592 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:59:22 +0000 yin 53592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... my LO is 9 months old, and I still change his diaper during his middle of the night feeding. I even woke him up once to change a dirty diaper. I'm glad he doesn't mind too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53557 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:19:08 +0000 Andrea 53557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did until 8 weeks. After that she stopped waking up for feedings so I didn't change her diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53549 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:14:23 +0000 pelikila 53549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did until about 3 months unless there is poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53197 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:38:41 +0000 Rubies 53197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change her diaper at her first night feed because it would have been 6-8 hours from when she went down. At her second night feed it will depend on her - if she seems very very sleepy, I'll just put her back to bed. But if she's a bit more awake I'll do a quick change. She doesn't have a hard time falling back asleep at night so it's okay for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53196 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:37:16 +0000 heffalump 53196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always changed her when she woke up for feedings, and stopped when she started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months. We bought a hemp insert for her cloth diapers then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53161 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:41:21 +0000 Pipers Mommy 53161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we've got the same philosophy as Mrs. Jacks, no poop= no changing of the diaper in the middle of the night. Knock on wood, we've had no issues with diaper rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53143 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:24:20 +0000 Boogs 53143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you, we did when he was a newborn. Once he started waking up just once to eat we stopped because it would really wake him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53124 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:56:30 +0000 chopsuey 53124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to change her diaper whenever she woke for a feeding (newborn-2 months). Once she started sleeping longer stretches I stopped. I've even let her sleep in a poopy diaper a couple of times. eek! Luckily it was EBF poop and didn't cause diaper rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53123 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:54:40 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 53123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if there's poop, otherwise we let it ride. As you said, it's less disruption and diapers are so good that they are unlikely to leak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53120 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:45:30 +0000 Crisark 53120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ever did that when my LO's were newborns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53119 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:41:15 +0000 BabyLove 53119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're kinda in the same transition. We used to change her diaper everytime she woke up, when she was a newborn. Lately, at 4.5 months she's begun waking up a lot again. We don't change her because 1. she'll freak out and 2. it definitely makes her wake up completely. I feel kind of guilty, I'm not sure if she's uncomfortable but it seems like she falls back to sleep just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-change-your-los-diaper-in-the-middle-of-the-night#post-53118 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:37:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 53118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to change Olive's diaper when she was a newborn and woke up for a feeding in the middle of the night, but lately I haven't been changing it so I don't stimulate her. She does seem to go back down a little easier lately, but she's not sleeping any longer stretches... maybe they're even shorter stretches. </p> <p>When Charlie started sleeping through the night post sleep training at 4 1/2 months, we stopped changing his middle of the night diapers. Up until that point we had been changing him.</p> <p>Do you change your LO's middle of the night diapers? When/why did you stop? </p>
