So DD is 5 months and for the past week at every single diaper change she pees the second her diaper comes off. Today she peed, I cleaned her up, changed the cover on her changing pad, and she peed AGAIN! Does anyone else's DD do this? I know boys do this a lot, but I didn't think girls did!!
Re: DD peeing every diaper change
Annoying, huh? As I understand, it is the cool air that makes it happen. I have baby rags (cut up an old towel) and keep a piece handy when I pull off DS' diaper. Another thing I'll do is open the diaper up, but not take it off until I get through the 'now seems like a good time to pee' waiting period. My goal is just to not waste a brand new diaper the moment it is on!
BTW, I also use those mini-towels for wipes, spit-up, BM leaking... I hate to say an old, beat up towel is my most useful thing, but they are pretty handy.
Ha! This exactly. My favorite incident actually involved some ill-timed projectile poo making a nice arch on the wall.
I use this all the time! I had my mom bring me a bunch of my old beach towels, because the are so soft. I cut them up and lay one down a each change. I use it b/c DS likes to leak a little poo sometimes, and to pat his bum dry before using the A&D cream. Also use it for spit-up and what ever. We go through 6 burp clothes a day, and we only have a few cute ones so I save those for when company comes or we go out.
My DD does this from time to time, so I always open up the new diaper and put it under the old one, so when I pull away the dirty diaper there is a clean one right underneath.
We also have these to place atop the changing pad cover. They work great, but I rarely have to change them because they rarely get soiled (because of the aforementioned trick). I also use them for naked time.
