About not wiping babies after they pee

adamwife · May 2009

I asked my babysitter, who is also a nurse's aide, if they wipe adults when they have only peed in their diapers. She said "Ewww and yes."

What are people's thoughts on this? Is there a difference to you between adults and babies?

if I wipe mine everytime I change a pee diaper, his skin gets really irritated. I've been back and forth on this one

I wipe her everytime, just like I do me.

Hmm, it does sound gross not to wipe an adult, however I was told not to wipe DD1 when she pees and I don't. It's hard enough to get her diaper off and on.

I guess its not all that different but baby pee is WAY different than old people pee. For one its way more concentrated and mineralized. Ns pee has never had an odor to it like old people/adult pee.

Baby butt skin is different than Adult butt skin.

True. Could be because most people are dehydrated and have more toxins in their bodies.

OH! I love "bless your heart" - it's a cute way of being super condescending. Coupled with a head pat = pure awesome high horseity!! LOL

Adults wipe with a dry piece of paper so that we don't drip pee on our clothes or down our legs. It's not like you're using a wet wipe and cleaning out all your little folds.

So that doesn't compare to using a wet wipe on a baby who is going to be back in a new diaper in 10 seconds.

I don't wipe my baby after pees. Urine is sterile.

Same here. That's gross if you don't even though it's sterile IMO. ?

The nurses' aides wipe with wet wipes when they change diapers, not dry TP. And then the adults go back in a new diaper. Just like a baby.

Yeah I just realized I read the OP wrong. I was thinking of people who say they wipe themselves after every pee, so why wouldn't you wipe your baby.

Back to Reading Comprehension 101 for me.
