Question: Is It OK To Not Change Diaper At Night?

While you might not be too keen on it, you can leave a wet diaper alone through the night, and simply change it in the morning.

If they have had the ‘full’ toilet experience in the night, you must change it.

Should I change poopy diaper at night?

On one hand, your baby may have soiled her diaper while sleeping (it’s more than likely to happen at least once per night). And on the other hand, you don’t want to wake them unnecessarily to change them. Unless your baby is extremely wet or has pooped, you can probably let them sleep.

How often should I change baby diaper at night?

You don’t need to wake your baby up to change her nappy at night. But when she wakes for a feed, take the opportunity to change her, otherwise she may wake up later because she’s uncomfortable.

Do you Unswaddle for night feed?

Feed unswaddled during the day and swaddled at night.
