Do you change nappy at every night feed?

[Willow01]

Do you change your babies nappy after every during the night feed? My little one is 6 weeks now and I feel like I can't remember anything I done for my toddler when he was a baby!! At some point he started wearing pampers 12 hours nappies at night times and I stopped changing pee nappies then but I just can't remember when I did this from, I am still changing pee nappies at the moment but just wondering what you guys do, thanks

No I only change poopy nappies at night. But thankfully he never does at night! I don't like changing him at night because I don't like making him more awake and also his nappies never leak so never been a problem x

My Lo will be 8 weeks on Monday. I've always just done poopy nappies in the night, same with my older two as well. Decent nappies hold the moisture pretty well and I use a barrier cream and the skin is just fine x

I still change wet nappies at 17 weeks, but only to wake LO enough to take a full night feed or he only has 2-3oz before falling back into a deep sleep and then waking 2 hours for more!

Can't wait for him to take a full feed without being changed first but every time I've tried I've ended up changing him half way through to get him to finish the bottle!

I haven't since around 2/3 weeks. Just do it on the rare occasion she has a poo. X

I did at that age, but only to wake him up a bit as I was breastfeeding. So I would feed on one side, change him, then feed on the other side. When we moved to bottles at around 8 weeks he would take a proper feed without getting sleepy so I didn't change him. Obviously if his nappy was bulging or there was poop I'd change.

With my son, (first) I did religiously change in the night because I thought that was what everyone did. With my daughter (second) I didn't, unless dirty or obviously full/uncomfortable. The latter was better for keeping her dozy and getting her back to sleep and not disturbing her. Neither of the two ever wound up with problems like nappy rash. so I assume both went unscathed!

 

[Buttercup84]

I did in the small size nappies as I didn't find they held much but from about 3 onwards I didn't unless it was dirty.

No never unless he's wet through. I like to keep him almost asleep and just feed him in bed rather than waking him up properly.

I change at every feed!!! I'm mortified to say DS was on 9 7oz bottles until 8months! DD is on 7 5oz bottles I have heavy drinkers!

I was changing him at 6 weeks but I stopped once he started sleeping through the night which was soon after. I give him a dream feed at 10pm and only change him if he seems super full or if he is dirty, but luckily he doesn't poo at night.

I wouldn't change him. Looking back on it I was just doing it because I thought I was supposed to. But occasionally he will be in the same nappy for 11 hours overnight now and it never leaks (I use Huggies if it makes any difference?) and he has never gotten a rash so i think it should be absolutely fine. If you think it will be easier to get your little one back to sleep without changing him, don't worry about it and go with your gut

What about if you are cloth diapering? Would that make a difference in whether or not to change wet diapers at night?

I'd have thought only if they leak, make lo uncomfortable or cause nappy rash.

We use a pampers baby dry from the 10.30pm night feed until he wakes at 7am. Soon we'll start putting it on at bedtime to last the whole night. Right now, like a pp, if he doesn't wake fully at this late feed, he won't take it.

I'd only change poop at night now.

I'm pregnant with my third and also assumed the 'done' thing was to change at every feed. That made for some very long and tiring nights.

Guess what I'll not be doing this time round...

 

[SarahBear]

I change when I'm aware he's wet, whether there's a feed or not. We bed share which helps the process. I did the same with my daughter who peed and pooped a lot more than my son and I would do the same with a third.

 

[twobecome3]

god no ! only if absolutely necessary!! (poo or superloaded with pee)

 

[minties]

I didn't with my son, but my daughter wore cloth nappies and needed changing more often.

My LO is sleeping through the night most night, so I don't wake her to change her obviously. She seems to have pretty good control considering her age - she has only soiled her nappy twice in the last month as she is really regular (every second night around 10pm) so we just strip her off and she poos on a puppy training pad. She happily pees in a nappy but being wet doesn't bother her in the slightest (dirty midden!) so we need to check the wetness indicator, at which point we are as well just changing the nappy tbh. She also pees as soon as the nappy is off, which is probably why she goes through less nappies than normal! She easily takes 3 pees within 10 mins or so when getting a bath lol.

I changed my dd in the early days overnight but then it turned into only changing poopy diapers. or if she were wet. it was probably in the first month of her life, same with ds.

 

[Bevziibubble]

I did up until around 4 months as she just pooped constantly!
