at night, do you change your baby every time he or she feeds?

Question

Mine eats every 2 hours. I am changing every time but wonder if I need to. Started off between sides but as of recently my LO spits up every time I change him between! Now I've been changing beforehand more frequently.

Answer

I change her right before she's fed. I only change her afterwards if I know she poo'd during a feeding.

Eating usually makes her pretty sleepy, whereas a diaper change makes her alert, so I'd rather get her in a clean diaper before a feeding.

She eats about every 2-3 hours and **needs** a diaper change at that frequency as well. She's a month old today.

Answer

I always change before feeding. I don't want to wake her if she falls asleep or make her spit up. If she poops I will change her after, of course. My DF and I just had an argument about this and he says I'm being mean by changing her first and making her wait to eat. Bullshit. She won't starve in the 30 seconds it takes to change a diaper.

Answer

I do because my baby can't stand a wet diaper and will wake up sooner if I don't.

I also started changing before due to spit up. Try to keep her upright a while after feedings.

Answer

I always change before a feed!

Answer

I always change before so it wakes him up a little bit so he eats more. He usually falls asleep at the breast and don't want to wake him up to change him. If he poops right away or during the feeding then of course I'll change him.

Answer

Yes, only before I nurse to avoid waking her up after nursing.  It was a struggle in the early days. I'd change her before feed, then she'd poop while feeding 😣 If your LO isn't pooping and it's not too full, I wouldn't unless you need to get her awake to eat. Now she stopped pooping at night for the most part 😀

Answer

I have always used overnight diapers with my son. They have been a life (or really a sleep) saver! The late night feedings always make him sleepy again or even fall back to sleep, so I definitely don't want to wake him up to change him if I don't have to. I let him sleep unless the diaper is poopy or he spit up a lot. Huggies has my favorite 12 hour protection "snug & dry" diaper. Hope this helps!!

Answer

If I change him after he is fed, not before bc he will scream his head off. And I change him once out of our 2 nighttime feeds at either 3 am or 6 am feeding but not both. If it was poop I would change regardless 💐

Answer

I used to but he barely wets his diaper at night now so I only change it if it's decently wet. He saves his poo for the morning.
