For many parents, the convenience of using wet wipes during midnight diaper changes is tempting. But when it comes to middle-of-the-night diaper duties, there’s a hidden issue that many are not aware — wet wipes are cold and the coldness from wet wipes not only startle your baby but also cause loud cries, disrupting their precious sleep. Parents will need to spend time to comfort them back to sleep again after diaper change.
Why do we need to change diaper in the middle of the night?
In the newborn phase, it is normal that baby poops after he/she feeds. If a baby is breastfed, he or she does not poop as often as a formula-fed baby. Parents are ought to wipe their bum and change them into a new diaper when they pooped (no matter what time this happens). Imagine that as a repeated cycle for every 2-3 hours a newborn baby has to feed.
Why wet wipes turn cold?
When you store wet wipes in an air conditioned room, whether it is day or night, they naturally turn cold. That sudden chill can startle your baby, waking them up in the middle of their sleep cycle. If you’re up at 2 a.m. trying to keep your baby calm, this is not only a discomfort for your baby but it is also exhausting for parents.
What you need instead to change baby’s diaper?
Switch to using cotton and lukewarm water. Ready a flask with lukewarm water in your bedroom. When it is time for a change of diaper, pour the lukewarm water out from flask into a container, dip a few pieces of Suzuran Baby Antibacterial Cut Cotton into the water, squeeze the excess water, and wipe baby. This creates a gentle and soothing cleaning experience for both parents and baby. The cotton feels soft on the skin, and the lukewarm water won’t shock your baby awake, helping them stay calm and settled during diaper changes. What’s more, parents can sleep right back after diaper changing!
By making the switch, you’re not only ensuring a more comfortable experience for your baby but also minimizing sleep disruptions—leading to a more restful night for you and your partner.
