I totally feel like I'm missing something here. I know I have limited experience under my belt so far... but... my dcks have almost always woken up once they pooped. I can only think of 1 time where I was aware that a dck had pooped and was still asleep (because it smelled awful). I can think of about 2-3 times where I opened a diaper after nap and found poop that I wasn't expecting. Unless I had been doing pretty active visual diaper checks (while they were asleep) for those couple times, there was no way for me to know.

I had one girl just under a year that woke herself 30 minutes into a nap with a poop... then took FOREVER to resettle (she was a screamer). Every nap, every day. It was exhausting. I slathered cream before nap and hoped she would sleep through it. Never happened.
