Baby diapering Q

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?

    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.

  • First I just have to say that it struck me really funny that you titled this baby diapering.. you know as opposed to diapering your dh. :) I always used wipes. It drove me nuts that they didn't have real wipes in the hospital.

    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.

  • Our hospital used wipes, I never heard of the wet paper towel thing so we used wipes from day 1. I've always used unscented though just b/c I have weird skin sensitivities so I wasnt sure if DD would as well.

    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.
