How to lessen the disruption to baby’s sleep when a diaper change is necessary in the middle of the night?

This is tricky and I remember being as quiet as I could to prevent waking my child (to no avail at times)! However, keeping the room dim, using warm wipes, and minimising noise can be helpful to minimise the levels of arousal of your baby. Tricky if there’s a big mess! If your baby does awaken, try to maintain calmness and avoid playful interaction with your child. Maintain the same routines in settling your baby back to sleep, and consider sleep training if your baby is above the age of 4 months. Baby’s awakenings would also mean your sleep is disrupted. Therefore, please look after yourself, and take turns if possible.
