Any tips on getting a newborn back to sleep at night?

Question

She’s super fussy but usually only at night.. it’s extremely hard to calm her down... i was told not to change her diaper at night unless there’s poop... do you wait until the morning hours to change your little one? Do you have a routine that works good for you? Please tell me this is only temporary 😭 i get so sad seeing her so upset.. she has really bad gas

Answer

Yes, I never woke baby up unless there was poop. By 3 months my little one only pooped once at night, and I just changed it at a natural wake cycle.

Answer

I change LO before her bottle at night so after her milk she can just stay asleep. She always falls asleep while eating at night. But I keep a sound machine and just a night light on.

Answer

Try Windis! They are a life saver!

Answer

For sure don’t turn on the lights. If I turn on the lights my son seems to think it’s time to paaaaartay. Put the stuff you need where you can get them in the dark (diapers, wipes, etc).

Answer

With my son I always changed him throughout the night. I wouldn't talk or turn on any bright lights just a night light. And I always put him in sleep sacks with the zippers when he was smaller so there wouldn't be such a struggle getting him redressed after changes.
