Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Help!

I swear I know how to put on a diaper but for some reason, when DS tinkles it always seems to come through onto his clothes and or swaddling blanket, sometimes on me too. I pull the side snug and make sure the legs poofy things are out. He's about 7lbs, 3oz so I don't think he needs preemie diapers.

Anyone have issues with this or have some advice? I am at a complete loss. Huh?

  • Make sure when you diaper, his penis points down.

    Are you making sure to point his penis down?

    This.  I had the same problem with DS when he was little.  This helped tremendously.

  • This was always happening to us with my older son....the only diapers that worked for him were huggies.  So when I found out we were having another boy I stocked up on huggies!!!
  • We were having this issue with the newborn diapers, but once we moved up to size 1s it stopped since they're more absorbent. 
  • He was circumcised about 3 days ago. God I feel stupid even asking this, but is it OK to point his penis down while it's still healing? It seems like that would hurt him.

    I am definitly going to go guy huggies!

    I don't think pointing up or down makes a difference to his healing circ. ?Pointing down always looks the most comfortable to me, so it should be fine. ?And FWIW, we did great with pampers. ?
