Hi everyone,
I recently started co-sleeping with my 3-month-old baby and it has been a game changer for me in terms of sleep. However, I'm still trying to figure out the best strategy for managing nighttime feedings and diaper changes while co-sleeping.
Typically, my baby wakes up 2-3 times per night for a feeding and diaper change. I don't want to disrupt my own sleep too much, but I also want to make sure my baby is comfortable and well taken care of.
Do any of you have any strategies or tips for managing nighttime feedings and diaper changes while co-sleeping? I'd love to hear about your experiences and what has worked for you.
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I started co-sleeping with my baby when he was about 6 months old, and I have to say, it has helped us both get better rest. When it comes to managing nighttime feedings and diaper changes, there are a few tactics that have worked for us.
Firstly, I invested in a comfortable nursing pillow. It has made feeding my baby while lying down much more comfortable and relaxing for both of us.
Secondly, I use a sleeping bra that has built-in pads for absorbing leaks. It helps me avoid any embarrassing leakage situations during the night and saves me the trouble of having to change wet pajamas.
Furthermore, I use cloth wipes instead of disposable ones for diaper changes. It's an eco-friendly option and saves me money in the long run. Plus, it's more comfortable for my baby's sensitive skin.
Lastly, I keep my phone off and avoid using any screens during nighttime feedings or diaper changes. The blue light from electronic devices can affect my baby's sleep patterns, and it also allows me to focus solely on my baby without getting distracted by notifications.
By integrating these strategies into my co-sleeping routine, I've found nighttime feedings and diaper changes to be less stressful and more enjoyable.
