I change baby after his dream feeds if nappy feels heavy. However, I always end up waking him up in the process. Is this inevitable?

Sometimes. Usually just if he's in a deep sleep and hasn't went too long without a feed x

I think it just depends on baby.. With my first, I was always able to change a nappy in night without waking her but with my second it is pretty much impossible! Think I have only managed to do it once after a dream feed !! I find first baby was quite a heavy sleeper tho and second wakes far more easily. X

I always change my baby before the feed so be goes back to sleep with the bottle :) but he does have reflux so have to have to stay up for30 mins x

Mine always wakes up but if he’s really sleepy he just falls straight back to sleep after the change x

We put little one to bed at 6. I started trying to do a dream feed at 9 when I go up to bed and leaving my little girl until morning to change as we always woke her but her nappies kept leaking. I now change first then feed. She sometimes wakes slightly when changing her but generally stays pretty sleepy now- think she’s just used to it now. And then we feed and it generally sends her back to sleep if she has woken. Most of the time she stays asleep now so I think the routine has started to stick with her. She will then sleep til 5/6. I was advised day time to feed them change as you want them awake but at night change then feed as it helps them get back to sleep so we have always done that order. Also if we did feed and she falls asleep, we haven’t got to worry about waking her back up to change as we have already done it. Xx

I don’t change his nappy during the night and change it first thing after his morning feed. 🤷🏼♀️

It’s a good idea to change their nappy first in the night before a feed, then feed and burp then u can put them straight down sleepy!
