How often to diaper change through the night of a 6 month old?

How often do you change the diaper through the night from around 9pm till 8am? Is it too long to leave it? Changing diapers makes my baby more awake and difficult to get to sleep again :/ was wondering if l can leave her in it for that long? Disposable btw

My LB is 8.5 months and we haven’t changed a nappy overnight since around 6 weeks old. For the same reasons, it was wakening him too much and harder to get back to sleep. As long as there are no leaks or a dirty nappy, then we leave until the next morning. Our LB sleeps 7:30pm-6/6:30am.

I don’t change my son overnight. Unless he pooped but he’s not pooped in the night since he was about 8 weeks old haha.

I change my baby at least once per night

My baby is 5 months old and we don’t change her diaper after the bath around 7pm till morning 7- 8am.
She wakes up twice during night lately but I just feed and she goes back to sleep right after.
I tried changing it a few times but it woke her up - and I’m too sleepy lol I have insomnia so I prefer less movements at night.
Sometimes it leaks but most of the time it’s fine. She had never experienced diaper rush. We use coterie!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
