Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

If babies asleep the nappy waits. Mine wouldn’t sleep with a dirty nappy but if they were wet I’d rather change the outfit because of a leak than wake them!

You could do overnight diapers during nap time when you take him out. But I usually wouldn’t change my baby’s diaper if he’s napping. Before nap I’ll change it and after nap I’ll change it.

Never wake a sleepy baby!!

Just wet?! Let them sleep. They WILL wake up if they’re uncomfortable.
I choose to change clothes if there’s a leak over having a too tired, cranky baby any time hehe

Never wake that sleeping baby! If he’s comfortable enough in a wet diaper, then leave it! Soiled poopy diapers are a different thing in my opinion. But pee is 100% okay! If you’re worried, then always put Vaseline as a preventative around the typical sensitive areas. No diaper rash!

I always change the nappy mid feed, sometimes my boy falls asleep and 9/10 it wakes him back up

I’d only change it if it was a dirty nappy. It’s the same overnight I’ll only change it before bed and first thing in the morning as my baby won’t fall back asleep after having his nappy changed.

If it’s not poop, leave it!!

Thank you all for the replies! That’s what I usually do I let him wake up on his own and then change his diaper

Only if it’s poop, otherwise nope let them sleep and change them once they’re awake x

Naps at nursery

My little boy will be 10 months old when he starts nursery, he currently needs holding/cuddling to fall asleep then I can place him down in his cot to nap once’s he’s fell asleep. He won’t settle on his own it just results in him screaming crying. But I’m worried about when he starts nursery, will the staff there do the same at nap time or will he expected to self settle himself to sleep?

Is this normal?

My 3.5yo son is normally very loud when he's in a park, soft play, family friendly holidays. Sometimes a bit too loud and doesn't understand some kids aren't reciprocating it. But I received his nursery report today and they say he's shy and likes to play alone. So I don't get it. He does in 2 days a week. Is this normal?

When did your little one get their first teeth and crawling, walking?

Let’s talk milestones! I am quite anxious about mine and generally I hate teething late and walking late is pretty common, or the new normal!

Not peeing at night

My son is almost 3 months old and isn't peeing at night. He slept 5 and a half hours and barely had a wet diaper. He pees normally during the day, just worried about nights.

Cheated on while pregnant

Yesterday, I found out my boyfriend was not only mine, but someone else’s. I’m pregnant and so is she. Has anyone else been through this? I literally feel like I’m dying & am scared of the amount of stress all this crying is causing. How do I possible get through this being 5 months ? 🙃

Sleepy baby

My 6 week old is very sleepy (and has been since birth). She has periods of being very alert during the day, but once I put her down for the night at 7pm I struggle to wake her for longer than a 5 minute feed until 7am despite the usual methods (nappy change, wet wipe, taking off a layer). I always try to wake her to feed after 4 hours, otherwise I expect she may sleep for a very long stretch without eating. She is gaining weight but went down a bit in percentile the last two weeks (from 42% to 33%). Does anyone else have this experience and any advice? I am obviously very lucky she is a good sleeper but I am also focused on ensuring she eats enough which is challenging if she is in deep sleep for 12 hours a day!
