At the hospital when both kid were born they told us to just use paper towel and water for diaper changes. How long does this last before you switch to wipes? I can't remember with dd and it is such a pain.
I remember reading on here you point the penis down during diaper changes. I can't seem to do it! When ever I do, as soon as I go to pull the diaper up he lifts his legs and it falls up and to the side. Does this just get easier as they get bigger? Or should I kind of adjust him once the diaper is on haha?
Re: Baby diapering Q
As soon as I got home from the hospital, just make sure they are unscented, alcohol free wipes. Most baby wipes on the market today are alcohol free.
I don't know, this never seemed to be an issue for us. I would only worry about it if he is leaking out his diapers.

DS always peed up and leaked out of his diapers, soaking his t-shirt. I used to point his penis down, leave my hand there as I pulled the diaper up and then slid my hand out while the diaper was covering him. I hope that helps.
Haha...well there was that time while pregnant that I told dh I wanted to wear diapers to bed so that I didn't have to keep getting up to pee....
Alrighty, we are going to start wipes now then! We use pampers sensitive for dd, so I know those should be ok.
And while I was trying to angle him correctly tonight he peed all over me. And the floor. And the bed. And himself.
Thanks, this is what I will try next time.
