My 10 month old who sleeps through the night has starting going to the bathroom (poo) in the middle of the night and being that he sleeps in his own room I dont notice until the morning. Any ideas on what I should do? This has happend 3 nights in a row.

my daughter has just started doing that too, and then she wakes up with horrible diaper rash. the best thing you can do is cover his entire private area and bottom with lots of diaper rash cream, it will make a barrier to prevent him from getting diaper rash, or at least he wont get it as bad. you can also use vaseline instead of diaper rash cream, it does the same thing.

Go check on him before you go to bed and if you wake up at any point in the night. Maybe you can find a pattern and figure out about what time he is going.
Does he have a bath before bedtime? If not, maybe adding a warm bath in the evening followed by a massage could help encourage him to go a little sooner?

Let the little guy sleep.
If it's bothering him he'll wake up and let you know.
I wouldn't wake him just to change him or you'll disrupt his sleep pattern. And you don't want to do that.
Here's a suggestion.
Before bed apply a generous coating of Penaten cream or what ever cream you use. This will create a barrier so baby doesn't get a rash.

If it happens early in the night, maybe you should try feeding him dinner earlier, so he has a chance to do his deed before he goes to bed...
My son used to do this too every once in a while. You have to go in and change them. If they sit in it all night they wake up with a wicked diaper rash. You could try rubbing diaper rash cream on his bum really thick before you put him to bed, that way it wont hurt him and just let him fuss through it?

Try feeding him earlier than you normally do for a few days and see if that helps. Don't let him drink alot of juice or water right before bed. Try giving him milk instead. If he gets hungry before bed when you start trying this, give him some toast or ritz crackers, something bland that won't make him go.
Good luck!

Get him to go before he goes to sleep.
