They fall asleep while feeding in the middle of the night? L (1 month old) only wakes up for a little snack (like 1 oz) once or twice in the middle of the night and since she normally takes a long time to be out back to sleep, I leave it if it's just pee.
-
Poop- change it. Pee, let her sleep!
-
Always change a poop but I'll wait to change a wet.
-
only poop!
problem was my DD would ALWAYS poop right after eating in the MOTN
-
Poop - yes. Pee - nope!
-
We stopped changing around 3-4 weeks when the overnight poops stopped.
-
Only poop.
-
I usually changed her as soon as she woke up (before I fed her). If the diaper got wet again after feeding but she was asleep, I let her be.
-
Only changed LO for poops.
-
Lo Barely sleeps,no way am I waking her up!
-
Whoops, one of the Yes's is mine, I fat fingered the wrong one. Pee, no way, let that baby sleep! Poop, I change.
-
We used to change her regardless for the first couple of months, but would do it before feeding.
-
@pinkcupcake: Same! We always changed the diaper BEFORE the feeding, so when he fell asleep after nursing, I could just put him back to bed!
-
I only chanfe for poops. I even moved up to size 1 early for it lol.
-
Only for poop, which means I end up changing her once overnight. I haven't had any problems with rash or anything doing it that way. If I changed every time, a 15 min wake up would turn into one hour because she is so awake if I change her!
-
@LMOG47: "I fat fingered the wrong one" LOL!
I only wake for poops! Just change her when she's up to eat again
-
As a newborn, DD would *always* poop midway through a nursing session, so we always ended up having to change her afterward. As she got older, she stopped doing that, thank goodness. Now that she's dropped to one or two night feedings, we do change her before she eats because otherwise we have leaks by morning, but definitely not afterward!
-
Well I had a terrible eater but a great sleeper, so I would have to change her diaper in the middle of the feeding to try to wake her up so she'd eat better.
BUT, if I had a normal baby, I would let the baby sleep.
-
@pinkcupcake: Same here!
-
I stopped changing the baby around 3 weeks because she would not pee until at least 3am. I would always find her totally dry. So now I never change her at night. It makes wakings less than 10 minutes and we usually both get back to sleep very quickly. Sometimes she is leak-y in the morning, but usually the diaper is just very very full.
-
Only poop...never if she was just wet.
-
Yes, but mostly because she haaaaates being wet. Also, because she is a very slow eater, so it helps her eat.
-
In your case I would probably only change for poop unless she had leaked through. E would nurse for a while on either side, and we coslept, so I would feed him on one side, change him, and then settle down and let him nurse back to sleep on the other side.
-
For the first 8 weeks he was pooping around the clock. At first when he woke up I'd change him and always find poop and then I'd feed him after. Maybe around a month or so we started doing just one change at night after feeding. At 8 weeks we stopped because it was just pee.
-
We always changed but only because DD wouldn't go back down if we didn't. We changed before feeding though.
-
@pinkcupcake: +1
-
I always change poo. I usually changed every feed so she was awake enough to eat.
