Nappy Change or Feed first?

At night, do you feed first and then nappy change? Or nappy change and then feed? I feed first and then nappy change, but lately after the nappy change my LO is wide awake and really hard to sooth back down. But my issue is that when she wakes up hungry she really has a good cry so feed like I don't have time to nappy change her because I don't want her crying to wake up my toddler in the other room.

I feed half or most of it, he usually pushes away to get wind up. I change his nappy then and give the rest of the bottle after.

I don’t have to do this anymore as my boy sleeps through but I used to do Nappy then feed, nappy changes always woke him up a bit, then he was awake enough for a good feed, and by the end of the feed he would be sleepy again to go back to bed

Depending on when I last changed him and he isn't saturated or had a poo I leave him until the morning as nappies will absorb urine. When I do have to change him I do it before a feed.

I used to do half a feed, nappy change, then the other half. But as he’s got older (4 and a half months now) that would annoy him and if I left it til the end like you said, he’d be wide awake. So now I do nappy change before feed. He’s often not happy about it but I do it as fast as I can. So far he’s never woken my 5 year old but she has white noise and her door is pulled over. I envy those of you who don’t need to change your LO in the night. I have to change at both feeds otherwise he soaks through 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Nappy change first but only because my little one has bad reflux and will be sick as soon as he lies down, he’ll feed to sleep and I hold upright on my shoulder for 20 mins before setting him back down.
