Moms of girls - re: wiping

[jam's mum]

There's a Louis C.K. routine about changing baby girls' diapers. Not linking because it's not family safe (it's on youtube) but it is hilarious

Most of the time we don't wipe for pee. No rashes She does get a bath every night though, if that makes a difference.

[HeatherDanae]

I don't. Only if she's really wet. Otherwise just when there's poo.

We don't wipe after pee diapers except when they wake up in the morning.

Yep, we always wiped at every change, poop or no poop.

This is us also. Wipe after morning pee. Sometimes I will dab dry if she looks wet, if she seems dry she just gets changed.
I am glad people talked about cleaning folds.. Let's me know I'm doing things right!

I wipe at every change and I make sure she wipes on the potty.

Wow, some of you go to a lot of work on your girls. I would never ever think to use a qtip to clean them. I always went with the theory that if poo was going up the vagina her body would clean itself out for me. I'd go change her diaper in an hour again and her body would have pushed the remaining poo out on its own. That seemed a lot less invasive than getting out the qtips. It never occurred to me I should be cleaning inside things.

And I totally would rather cange a girl over a boy any day. With ds the poo get all stuck in the wrinkles of his scrotum which shifts all around while wiping. Takes way too many wipes to clean him up.

To the OP question. I wipe at almost all diaper changes (wet or poo) but if it was just pee and the are fighting the diaper change I just let them go. Missing 1 or 2 wipings a day won't hurt, I figure.
