In the past couple weeks, DD has started to poop in her naps (probably about every other day). Then she wakes up and I cannot get her back to sleep. Ugh.
Does this happen to anyone else? Can your LO sleep with a poopy diaper or can you get him/her back to nap after a change? It's so weird this has suddenly started, just when we were doing well with naps again.

Yes! DD does this when she's fighting a nap. It's looooovely. I swear the girl poops on command.

No, besides middle of the night, if LO ever wakes up she's up for at least an hour.
ETA: but yes, she's been known to be woken up by a poopy diaper. If she wakes up after less than an hour, that's the first thing I check.

Yes! Ugh. Also, if she hasn't gone to sleep after 20 or so min it's usually because she pooped and we have to wait a while after changing her to put her back down.

When LO was younger she would wake up. If she pooped RIGHT after she went to bed, then i could probably get her back down but it would be a fight for sure.
Do you breastfeed right before putting her down for naps? I also try to give myself a 30-45 minute window from after lunch/snack time to naptime so i can catch any poops!

R has been pooping so much lately. Day care couldn't get her down for a nap till 1215 yesterday cause she kept pooping. No way would she sleep through changing her.

yuuup this has happened to us a ton in the past. Sometimes he will poop before he falls asleep, and then will scream until I go in, change him, and then he'll go down. But if he wakes up and poops, the nap is over.

@twoofeverything: Yes! I think 1/2 the time she poops is when she doesn't fall asleep right away. She'll jump around and be fussing in the crib for awhile, and I think she'll finally be falling asleep for a couple minutes and baaam! Up and screaming - poop. This is not a fun, new development.
@Freckles: I've always nursed to nap/sleep, but this is a new thing. I'm hoping just a phase. I've also tried waiting out a poop, but it usually backlashes into past the nap time.

Nighttime it won't wake her, but naps? Poop ruins naps. Her current poop schedule ruins her 1x/day nap and makes her a monster/zombie later in the day, argh!

J does this too sometimes and it mostly happens when she's teething really bad. I can never get her back down, so I give up.
