If a dck poops during their nap, do you change them right away or wait until they wake up? I have a dcb (15mo) who is one of my short nappers and has to fall asleep in the book area and then I transfer him to his pnp after he falls asleep. Well he fell asleep and when I went to move him I noticed he pooped. I tried to change him as quietly and calmly and quickly as possible and when I laid him in his pnp he stayed awake. Hes STILL awake 45 minutes later. I'm about to scream. If this kid stays awake and never naps I will lose my mind. I really feel like I should have let him sleep in his dirty diaper because this is ridiculous.

I always change poopy diapers right away, I would be upset to find a red bottom after nap. Most of my kiddos have sensitive skin and they get a rash if they are not changed asap. -
See that's how I feel too. I always change poopy diapers IMMEDIATELY. I hate red bottoms. But now nap time is almost over and this boy still hasn't fallen back to sleep. He's only 15mos and he only naps once a day. I can only imagine how the rest of his day is going to be.Comment

Flame away... I do not wake kids to change their diaper- ever...Comment

I have a nap time pooper too! I have learned wait on nap time & change him last. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.Comment

Change right away. I would never leave a kid in poopy diapers for a second longer than I had to.Comment

i'm not going to flame you, but I think we need to ensure we are making choices on what is best for the child, not us.
If you think it's best for the child to get the nap in instead of having a clean diaper, then by all means let him / her snooze. Each child is unique and should be treated so.Comment

Change right away. It stinks when they don't go back to sleep. Does he do it often? I had a few years back that would go everyday about 30 min into nap and would scream the rest of the afternoon. We adjusted nap and after he went, then we changed and laid down.Comment

Any regular naptime poopers I've had seem to settle into a routine where they can be changed and go back to sleep after a few weeks. I would just be quiet, quick and make it a part of his nap routine.Comment

I change them right away. I would have probably laid him back down in the book area to fall asleep and tried to rinse and repeat his normal naptime routine.Comment

He doesn't normally poop at nap time. Generally before lunch. But mommy let him sleep in a bit this morning so I'm sure he was off from that. (this is my kid that used to be dropped off between 9-930 just woken up, hungry, and refusing a nap). Now she brings him earlier and he's been doing good with falling asleep. He still only naps about an hour and 20-30 minutes but its better than it was before. Today he's only gotten 8 minutes... 8MINUTES. This is also my biter. So I'm really worried about what the afternoon has in store.Comment

I agree- if I had a child that got a rash or something I would. I have had a lot of nap poopers and they all do it in the middle to end of nap. If I woke them they would be awake and grumpy for the rest of the day- I don't think that's in their best interest.
They get changed immediately before and after nap.Comment

I have a 2 yo that is a pooper at nap time. I adjusted lunch time earlier by 15mins and nap time pushed back 15 mins seemed to work for me.Comment
