If you just put your baby to sleep, and you think you heard a poop, do you wake him up to change him???

Personally I’d let him sleep. If he starts fussing then I’d check and change. Might just be a fart and not a dirty diaper.

Same I let her sleep and will change her when she wakes herself. That's why I put butt paste on before bedtime!

Change him

Let them sleep, they will let you know if they are uncomfortable and need to be changed. And I agree with Kristen ^^, butt paste is the best!!

Honestly in my opinion, I would check if he needs to be changed, if so then I would change it. I wouldn’t want to sit in my poop for hours. And that’s how rashes happen.

@Abby Nau thank you. I haven’t had rashes yet but this is a good reminder of why to do it. I appreciate your info

I don't change but that's cuz my girl farts A LOT and every time I check it's empty, as someone else said, if they're uncomfortable they'll let you know

I think it depends on the baby, my son doesn’t nap for very long so I don’t change him unless he is uncomfortable. Chances are he’s going to wake up in less time that it would take for him to get a rash.

I put a barrier of Aquaphor before putting him down for the night so I can let him sleep without diaper rash then I change him when he wakes on his own. I usually only have one change needed at night.
