do you change diaper at each night feeding with newborn? if no poop?

do you unswaddle and change diaper?

Do you mean a diaper that is dry and intact, or one that has urine and is emitting ammonia fumes next to the infant's skin?

Not for a pee diaper unless it’s heavily saturated. I always changed the poop diapers.

If it’s # 1– No. We use 12-hour Pampers Baby Dry
If it’s #2 - ALWAYS and we use powder right after to avoid diaper rash. Luckily, ours does not have any #2s at night.

Once she stopped pooping at every feed, no. We also used 12 hr baby dry. If it seems really full then yes.

I did change for a newborn since it was consistently wet every feeding and it didn’t fully wake her. Around 3 months she stopped being soaked each time and also started being more alert and bothered by changes.

No freaking way. Maybe newborn as measured by days old. But certainly not weeks

Powder is no longer recommended, FYI. Inhaling those small particles is apparently not good for growing lungs.

Op here: I mean like the first month when they eat every 3 hours at night

And yes most newborns are wet at each time so assuming wet

Poop would def change

I always change after nursing on one side to wake baby up a little bit to nurse on the other side.

I did. Looking back, I shouldn’t have bothered.

Nope. After the poop-every-time-you-feed thing stopped (6-8 weeks?), we stopped changing diapers after night feedings. Those things are so absorbent these days, there's really no point.

I did, but we cloth diaper. Baby hated being wet and let us know of his displeasure.
