Changing wet diapers overnight?

If they've crossed the newborn stage, do you still change baby's diaper? I leave them overnight. Baby doesn't sleep through the night, still wakes up for feeds but I don't change diapers then because that may wake him up fully. Plus they aren't dirty. Of course he has had a dirty diaper once at 4 am and then I did change it obviously. What do you do?

I still change when he is up for feed but he doesn’t fully get up

My little boy sleeps through the night now so I don't change him until he wakes up. I would change him if he did wake up for a feed in the night though.

Lucky. My LO was a pee machine at night. We had to put her in overnight diapers a size up with an extra pad. Once we did that she finally stopped being able to pee through. I was never one to change her diaper unless I had to. The only time is if she pooped. Then definitely change.

Stopped changing overnight when she stopped pooping in the night! Game changer for sleeping

I don’t change my LB when he wakes up for a feed because he’s only half awake and if I were to change him he would wake up fully and be upset! If it was a poop I would change him xx

If baby ends up waking for a feed I will change the diaper to break the wake feed association.

Oh i always changed during a night feed changed while waiting on bottle heating fed then back to sleep

Exactly! Same here

I change their nappy just before every feed, even in the night x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
