Baby poops when soothing to sleep. Do you wake them and change?

I change them when they wake back up. Unless it’s bad!

Depends how long the stretch of sleep will be. My LO will sleep for about 4 hours at the start of the night so I wouldn’t let him go this long. But if he will only sleep for 20 mins-1 hour I would probably wait. Sometimes I know he’s super sleepy so won’t really wake up. My daughter was completely different as girls bums get so much worse if poop is left there for too long.

I always imagine someone leaving me in a poopy diaper so I change her immediately to make sure she is the most clean and comfy at all times

If I know they’ve pooped for sure, I change them. You can have a peek through the side, if you see poop, it’s big enough for a change. If you don’t see anything, I’m guessing it’s just a fart or the poop is tiny enough that I would ignore this time.

My daughter is such a contact napper during the day, that if she has finally fallen asleep somewhere other than my arms but it sounded like she pooped… I look for signs of a blowout, but otherwise will leave her 😅. If she was uncomfortable, she’d wake and cry. Nighttime is different, if it’s going to be a longer period of time/ a few hours, I’d change her.

i’m changing right away unless the sleep is short. you wouldn’t want to sleep with poop on ur butt for hours

If baby has a dirty bum for an extended period of time they develop diaper rash from it. Diaper rash can get so bad that is causes the baby to bleed. So change them now to avoid a much more uncomfortable situation later.

Keep the lights down low, and go very slowly with the changing to not wake them. Sleepers with a 2 way zipper are your best friend!

Are you absolutely positive it’s a poop and not a fart? Because usually they wake up if they poop

Otherwise go slow and try not to wake them

I’ve been changing anytime I know for sure it’s poop because she somehow manages to get it all up in her vagina and I worry about uti/ infection
