I don't think I can sleep if I know she's sitting in a poopy diaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908167 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:36:44 +0000 Mrs. Twine 908167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks; You stole my answer! ;) Lorelei had a pretty copacetic pooping schedule (still does), so after the first couple of weeks she never pooped "in the night." @Lozza did have a good routine, sounded like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908121 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:18:39 +0000 su9su9 908121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank goodness those days are behind us, but yes, always for #2. Of course I considered not changing several times, but I would feel guilty about my babies sleeping in poopy diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908078 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:03:08 +0000 sunny 908078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for #2! For #1 we would let her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908072 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 13:01:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 908072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed, always change for number 2, diaper rash would be wayyy worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908062 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:58:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 908062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - we always changed a #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908043 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:47:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 908043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have to change a #2. It's too acidic to lay in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908028 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:38:24 +0000 Pepper 908028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: @grizz: He always poops while eating, without fail! Then when we go to change him, he will poop and pee mid diaper change. I wonder if he gains anything... it just runs right through him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908020 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:36:04 +0000 Smurfette 908020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always for poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908017 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:34:31 +0000 Boheme 908017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Yep! It's like he has to make room for what he's eating. I can't believe how loud his poops are! They startle him half the time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908009 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:31:39 +0000 Ra 908009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: @grizz: Do your boys poop frequently while BFing? It never fails, the moment he latches on to the boob, instant explosion. How does this kid gain any weight? All he does is poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-908001 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:28:04 +0000 Boheme 908001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: @Pepper: Me three! I feel like both of you are in my head lol</p> <p>This happened to us last night... I just changed him and started the back to sleep process all over again :sad: My LO is a super pooper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-907982 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 12:19:50 +0000 Ra 907982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: I always get excited when you post for the same reason! It is usually a question that I have, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-907771 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 10:38:58 +0000 sslm 907771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always for poop, unfortunately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-907755 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 10:34:25 +0000 Pepper 907755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I just searched for this exact topic to see if it had been posted before I asked! I could have written your post! He's 10 days old and is the noisiest pooper. I feel bad waking him to change him if he is sound asleep, but I am scared of diaper rash too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-888314 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 09:41:40 +0000 Lindsay05 888314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In that situation, yes. Whenever I fed LO, i would feed from one side, prop her up and burp her and wait until she pooped, changed her and then feed again from other side. By that time she fell asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887908 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:48:54 +0000 mrsjyw 887908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in the nb days, i would only if it was a poopy diaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887894 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:46:59 +0000 Ra 887894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: @Lozza: Good tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887875 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:42:28 +0000 Lozza 887875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: That's what we did- LO would often wake up and nurse a little bit, but he'd doze off before he'd fill up, so we'd change his diaper to wake him back up a bit, and usually he'd pooped during feeding part I, so we could then do feeding part II and then let him sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887848 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:33:41 +0000 NovBaby1112 887848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we always changed her as soon as we heard her go #2....i would just feel way too bad if i left her in it just because she was sleeping! it does suck though when they are finally asleep and then they go! as he gets older he will not poop as much :) what i would do is nurse on 1 side, then change diaper, then nurse on the other and HOPE that she got it all out of her system lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887841 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:32:19 +0000 Adira 887841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, that sucks! We always try to change a poopy diaper right away, though if it's just pee, we won't wake him to change it. Though with Xander, he wasn't super noisy in the beginning, so I didn't always know he went #2. We were changing his diaper every 2 hours anyway (we changed it every time he ate), so that was probably often enough. Maybe just load your LO up with diaper cream to protect his butt and let him sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887839 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:31:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 887839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always with #2. I was totally paranoid about diaper rash.<br /> He'll stop pooping so much soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887826 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:29:58 +0000 regberadaisy 887826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a NB always with #2. Hated doing it but diaper rash scares me more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-baby-to-change-hisher-diaper#post-887821 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 08:29:00 +0000 Ra 887821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B hates having his diaper changed. HATES it. He is still a newborn (11 days) so he poops approximately 374, 286 times a day. At night, it never fails that by the time I get him swaddled, fed, and drifting off to blissful baby sleep he unloads his body weight in poop into his diaper. It seriously feels like someone is shooting poop into his diaper using a triple barreled super soaker gun.</p> <p>So far, I have been changing his dipe every time I hear him go #2. However, it wakes him up and we are back to square one in trying to get him to sleep. By the time I get him back to sleep, it is time to unload another diaper! Mommy and baby both need some sleep!</p> <p>What did/do you do with your newborn? Do you just let him lie in his poo until he wakes himself up? Or do you change him/her immediately once you know he went potty? </p>
