Feeding and nappy changing - what order?
Hi there
Just wondering what order everyone does things in. With my first son he had severe reflux so we HAD to change his nappy before each feed as if we TRIED to change his nappy aftera feed all the milk just flowed back out of him. If he pooed during a feed he had to stay in that nappy for at least an hour as it was the lesser of 2 evils! My mum kept saying to me that we should move changing him to after a feed cos babies always poo while feeding - first son didn't always poo during feeds at all but I can see that changing after a feed could be preferable.
My second son is now 2 weeks old and exclusively breast fed and we struggle to keep him awake during a feed so we have fallen into the pattern that when he comes off one boob we change his nappy to rouse him and then he feeds from the other side. However, he often then poos during the second boob and then we have to change him again. He gets very nicely sleepy while feeding and then when we change him at the end he ends up wide awake again and difficult to settle.
So I just wondered what everyone else does and why???
