I'm staying at my mom's and we have James in a little bassinet.
Since we brought him home last week he has been wet almost every time we pick him up from the bassinet.
It's usually around his back or side.
His onesie and whatever pajama and his lightweight blanket are wet. We can't just change his diaper, we have to change his clothes as well.
I kept thinking it was pee but tonight when we took him to change him, his little indicator strip was still yellow (not blue). He made a poo but there was no excessive pee.
We are using NB Swaddlers from Pampers - He's only about 6.5 lbs right now so they have to fit.
Anyone know what it could be?

Are you making sure you point his penis down? That thought just came to mind, could make it so the indicater doesn't show up as wet.
He could just be a sweating baby. My son sometimes sweats when he sleeps. How I tell if he is hot or cold is by how his hands/feet feel. If you think he is sweating try and just put a recieving blanket over him, or use it to swaddle him.(That is if you are swaddling still.)
we have the little gauze strip of ointment on his circumcision so it acts as a barrier for his pee.
I really couldn't tell if it's pee or sweat. Mom seems to think it's sweat. We change him in lightweight clothes and won't swaddle him tonight to see what happens.
His little hands are cool to the touch too
Just wish I knew what it was.
