Pee-pee teepees...

 Any moms of baby boys actually use these?  Or something like them?  I've had a lot of people tell me that my boy will likely try to spray the walls during a changing.  If you have found them to be useful, what brands and how many should I stock up on?

    They're a novelty gift.  Waste of money.  Too small to cover anything.  We used CDs, so I just used a washcloth/wipe or prefold to cover him. They out grow that quickly anyway.

    People had suggested to me to just keep lots of baby washcloths on hand at the changing table and use those to cover them. Believe it or not, I have made it 23 months with two baby boys and have not been sprayed a single time! After the first few months I didn't bother trying to cover them anymore b/c it just wasn't an issue. I usually let them air out for a minute or two before putting the clean diaper on. Maybe I just got lucky? :) (There was ONE time that one of my boys did pee with his diaper off but it went straight forward so I didn't get sprayed and it didn't even get on much of anything.)

    We don't have any. At just over 4 months, J. has peed without a diaper various times. It's happened during diaper free time. I don't care about that, as he lays on CDs for it.

    It has happened a couple of times during diaper changes. But I always have cloth wipes/diapers there to cover things. So it's never been a problem.

    Really, he's only peed on me right after being born!

    My sister also just put a washcloth over her sons when changing them.

    Definitely a waste of money ;-)

    Kiddo never really peed much during changes - I'd just hold the diaper over him a bit before removing it fully to let him adjust.  

    He did shoot poop across the room once - ha!

    We never used them with DS. He peed all over the place twice in almost 3 years. One of those times was while getting weighed at the doctor's office so a peepee Teepee wouldn't have done any good anyway.

    I don't think a boy will try to pee on anything. If they pee, they pee. I usually just laid a diaper over him while I was changing him if I was worried, but really, it was pretty rare.

    Waste of money. Just use a wash cloth or something else of that sort of thing.

    This exactly except maybe the part about outgrowing it.  Apparently DS enjoyed it too much!

    Probably a dumb question, but what are CD's? I'm thinking C is for changing but I'm drawing a blank on the D.
