Love to Dream swaddle suits and nappy changes

I take my boy out to change him because I was having the same problems! I take him out of it in his crib and then zip him back in once I lay him down again after a feed and change and it doesn’t seem to disturb him too much
I open the zip from the bottom but then move it from directly under her bum to change as was also having accidents! The top half is still on but just saves spilling on it
@Lexie I do all of that with the clean nappy. I don't normally have a chance to wipe to trigger the reflex though as he pees as soon as the cold air hits him. I'm not having these issues with any other nappy change, just in the Love to Dream because I can't get all the fabric out of the way. Would be great if I could leave him in it as we sometimes dream feed, and taking him out of it wakes him, but I'm having to taking him out anyway since he ends up needing a full change every time I try it in the Love to Dream. I am aware about using anatomically correct terms actually and do plan to do that but at the moment he is only 4 weeks so can't speak/understand that yet.
@Jordan that's what I normally end up doing as well but was thinking if I could crack it leaving it on would be great as we sometimes dream feed but then taking him out to do nappy wakes him!
@Alexis that's what I do but I can't move it out the way enough to get it out the way of any accidents. It's too thick, and there's three layers to move out the way when you take his clothing into account too. I just can't get them all far enough rolled up out the way when the sleep suit is on. I don't have this issue when the sleep suit isn't on. It's just adding another layer of bulk.
I always put the clean nappy under them before opening the dirty nappy, have wipes/cream out & ready too.. if you wipe just under the front of the nappy before removing, it often triggers the reflex to pee. I generally have a little face cloth or something that I immediately pop over the pens to catch anything! It all takes practice and you'll be a pro eventually 🤣 I also don't pull up the love to dream or suit, just zip them far enough to open & remove legs! Also, I just wanted to mention (as ius incredibly important and not widely known enough).. but it's incredibly important that our children grow up using the anatomically correct terms for their genitalia, not nicknames. It's due to child protection and ensuring any potential harm is picked up on asap.
