Waking a sleeping baby because she pooped? 💩

I’d wake her. Although if she’s wearing something like that you might be able to do it without waking her. But either way, I’d changed her, she’ll go back to sleep eventually x

Peek to make sure she even pooped, my girl makes such rough toots that I think she pooped and she didn’t. But if she did poop change her that way she doesn’t lay in it and get a rash. Maybe try to do it in dim lighting to help her stay drowsy and fall back asleep quick

I would definitely change her if she has pooped! I’ve actually managed to change my baby while he was sleeping and still kept on sleeping 😂

i mean, as long as you aren’t leaving baby in the poopy diaper for a very long period of time it shouldn’t do them that much harm. now i’d personally say anything over 2 hours is where i’d draw the line and make sure to get her changed. that’s about a nap’s worth so i would not wake baby in that instance. let her sleep x

but that’s just in regards to mine, i know some babies are able to sleep through diaper changes.. mine cannot 😭 and getting her to sleep is one thing, i refuse to wake her up after she’s successfully fallen asleep and risking her not being able to fall back after

Hey try change whilst sleeping my baby still sleeps through changes at 19 months old x

Change very very slowly. Mine doesn’t wake

But then again I’ve always used warm cloth wipes not cold baby wipes so that might make a difference

Unpopular opinion but I would leave it. Especially if it’s a day nap and not a great sleeper. If you think she will go back to sleep easy then fine but my son was not like that. I would actually put cream on his bum with a dress nappy before a sleep so there was a barrier and he wouldn’t get a rash. Totally your call!

A fresh nappy ****

I’d changer her diaper and try not to wake her. Wouldn’t leave her in a dirty diaper

Max of 15 minutes I wouldn’t leave her in her poop longer than that

I would think what I would want for myself, and go from there. So, if I pooed myself whilst sleeping, would I want to be left in it, or would I get up and change.

I’d change her. My son would sleep through or fall back to sleep after. They can sleep for a long time and I wouldn’t want him sitting in it

It's possible (but not easy) to change them without waking them up

exactly, my baby fights sleep for a living 😂 she hasn’t had a diaper rash ever and she’s 9 months so it’s safe to say it’s alright. i put an over generous amount of cream during her diaper changes maybe that’s why. but if she could sleep through i’d def change asap just out of comfort reasons because i literally hate leaving her to lay in poop. i feel like as long as you’re putting a good amount of cream then they should be good. is that not the purpose of the cream anyway? to prevent it?

I just change them most of the time don’t even wake up

Change her. It will burn her bum

I don’t wake them, I just change them. Sometimes they wake up a little, sometimes they don’t. I think it’s worth changing because diaper rashes are so painful and sleeping in a shitty diaper can end real bad…leakage, up the back spread, dried spots, yuck!

I’d always change a poo asap, they can get such sore bums quick x

Night time? Absolutely change the nappy... if its just a nap it would depend on timing, near the end of a nap or just at the start I'd let them sleep. If in the middle, as long as they have had a full sleep cycle I would wake and change

I had this dilemma the other night! My daughter was stirring and I was getting ready to get her and she just farted and pooped. I was debating on leaving till she woke up or just saying fuck it. I went with fuck it, picked her up and changed her and put her back down and the entire time she was fast asleep 😂

Mine wasn’t especially prone to diaper rash and it was often a big struggle to get him to sleep so I’d probably leave it at least for a bit more sleep. Wouldn’t want him sitting in it for hours or anything. If your situation is opposite I’d say proceed accordingly

Nopeeee don’t do ittt

I always just change while they are still asleep usually she’ll wake but once she realises what’s going on she’ll fall back asleep again😂 xx

Change as you would Normally if they were awake. Preventative care and comfort are more important. They eventually go back to sleep. Trust me they thank you 😊 good luck!

I would never wake my babies up cos my god they are the grumpiest little beings ever if I do 😂 if they were uncomfortable they would express that

My little girl is prone to nappy rash but I hate having to wake her from a nap if she’s done a poo! Normally if I’m planning a nap, I’ll make sure she’s got a decent amount of Sudocream or something similar to protect her skin if she’s done a poo so I can let her sleep 😊

My daughter is not a great sleeper so i waited until she woke up to change her, otherwise she would not fall back to sleep

It's possible to change them without waking what I usually do with my daughter is slide a changing pad under her bottom and use warm wipes when she's sleep and I make sure to go extra slow with the whole process so I don't wake her 😭

Yes I know it sucks waking that sweet sweet pea but you definitely don’t want a nappy rash 🥴😊

I would change. Diaper/nappy rashes are never fun 🥺.

A grumpy baby is definitely better than a diaper rash!! It sucks but changing a 💩 diaper is definitely priority

Also forgot a WIPEY WARMER or warm damp cloth (reusable and washable) help keep them from fussing. Cold wipes are definitely a RUDE awakening. And if there is a rash don’t use baby powder!! Please avoid it. Talcum powder is bad for breathing in and causes ovarian cancers. Just please be aware.

Thanks for all the comments ladies! 🤗😁🥰 well noted - from now on…💩 will be wiped even if little one is asleep! 🫡☺️
