At what age is it ok to skip middle of the night diaper changes? This is presuming the diaper doesn't leak and the baby doesn't fuss or cry about it.

We stopped around 6 months when LO began STTN. She's now 9 months and sleeps 12 hours straight at night, and we do not change her during that time.

No poop no changes! (Unless it was bothering them or giving them a rash!)

I think I stopped around 6 weeks unless he pooped because the changes woke him up and upset him so much.

I think only during the first few weeks did I do MOTN diaper changes. Assuming no poops.

A matter of weeks. As soon as there was no poop. Never had any issues with rash or leaking.

No poop no change! At 10w there is sometimes a poop but we often go all night without a change.

We've always changed before feeding. My darling DH usually does the diaper and then gives me the baby to BF. M slept through the night fairly early so it was never a huge deal. J is 12 weeks and still poops fairly frequently so by the time we've checked to see if he's pooped we might as well change him.

Only if she's bothered by a dirty diaper. I go by the rule "never wake a sleeping baby". So usually we don't change diapers at night.

Only if there's poop which mostly stopped around 6 weeks except for the very occasional 2am pooping.
