DD is 16 weeks old and although she is FAR from STTN, I don't change her diaper after midnight because it always wakes her up. During the day I would change her diaper right away even if it's just a tiny teeny blue line (we used Pampers Swaddlers), but at night time I don't want to risk waking her. Even though it doesn't seem to bother her I still feel guilty knowing she is in a wet diaper (definitely not poop!). In the mornings, her diaper is always full but no leaks. So mommas, do you change your LO's diaper during night time feedings? And also, at what age did you start using overnight diapers?

No diaper changes here! I always toss a big, full, wet diaper in the mornings, but her lady parts aren't irritated by it and she's not in pain. Sposies are good at pulling the moisture away from their skin.

We stopped changing LO during the night probably a few months after he was born, maybe around 2-3 months old before he started sleeping through the night. The first time he leaked through his diaper is when we switched him to overnight probably around 7 months old. It depends on your baby thought, LO never got a diaper rash from being in a soiled daiper overnight but if yours does you might consider doing things differently.

I stopped changing nighttime diapers when she stopped nighttime poops. The overnight diapers we've tried gave her horrible rashes, so we don't use them.

I stopped changing diapers in the middle of the night at 8months (I know, really late) but it didn't wake her up.

We stopped changing overnight diapers when she stopped pooping overnight. We always make sure to coat her bits in a good barrier cream before bed.

Ok I don't feel so bad about not changing her diaper in the middle of the night then. And I guess no need to switch to overnight diapers if there's no leak yet? Good idea about putting on some barrier cream before bed though! I have some Aquaphor I can slather on.
