Apparently you need to shake more than twice ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1788288 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:32:16 +0000 BoogieBea 1788288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wiped for him when LO started going on his own. So, now he wipes himself. He also learned the shake from watching his dad so he actually does both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1788258 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:20:36 +0000 X0X0X0 1788258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow...I had never stopped to think about this since DS is only 4 months. I had to ask DH what he does...because I'd prefer DH to him how to pee. I guess he won't be teaching to wipe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1782185 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:00:21 +0000 clover 1782185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very eye opening, I had never thought about it before, now I have to ask my husband what he does! I have always heard if its more than two shakes then they're playing with it (not sure who is counting though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1782054 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 14:42:15 +0000 Happygal 1782054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even know that some men wipe! I learn so many things on HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1782043 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 14:33:37 +0000 MsMini 1782043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S sees my husband stand to pee and shake, but he sits is far and we have been waiting a few extra seconds post pee for any drips to fall. I am afraid if he shakes pee will end up everywhere ;) I am going to have to get over it I think!</p> <p>My husband claims I am crazy and that he doesn't smell different, I will probably sneak in the odd flush able wipe "wipe down" a couple times a day just to indulge my crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781527 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:53:08 +0000 Boogs 1781527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine shakes and wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781467 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 11:34:22 +0000 Purpledaisy 1781467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a son but I don't understand why guys don't wipe?! There's still pee there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781305 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:37:34 +0000 sorrycharlie 1781305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: ha I don't even know if this baby IS a boy yet, but my gut feeling says yes so I'm reading along..and wondering what I'm in for!! lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781197 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:07:44 +0000 Mamaof2 1781197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to add that DS was trained sitting down but he quickly went to standing because that is what DH did. I remember the 1st time I was in the bathroom and DS shook his penis I kind of chuckled and DH said "yeah, I taught him that" DH was VERY proud of himself :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781139 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:47:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1781139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy.... we're not there yet, so hadn't thought that far in advance. Learning to raise a boy is going to be a whole new experience for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781073 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:27:34 +0000 psw27 1781073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never even thought about a man wiping. I just assumed they all do the shake... Gosh. Raising a son is going to be a whole different universe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1781053 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:23:37 +0000 .twist. 1781053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I think, personally, I will teach the shake. I'm not actually sure what our older boys do though? I know they sit to pee even though DH has tried to encourage them to stand now, but I think growing up in a house with only a woman makes it seem like that's how it's done! So I do know they sit, but after a pee only, I'm not sure if they wipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780986 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:02:20 +0000 Sammyfab 1780986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha...my husband also believes in 'the shake' and that wiping after pee is unnatural.</p> <p>We do get him to wipe (which is usually a really quick swipe as he pushes the toilet paper into the toilet) after pee and then I may wipe again once he's off the toilet. I also find he's a little stinkier than I'd like him to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780968 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 08:58:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1780968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I'm pretty close to my former guy coworkers; and they said they saw a guy grab some paper towels when he walked in the bathroom, used the urinal, then wiped himself with the paper towels. They thought it was sooooo weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780709 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:52:09 +0000 swurlygurl 1780709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, my Aunt was a single mom and taught her son to wipe afterwards, and he says he got teased in school for it.<br /> But, I think I would want my son to - it's not like there's magically no pee there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780665 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:29:57 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1780665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not even remotely potty trained here but we do pat with a square or two of toilet paper after we're done. DS is pretty insistent about it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780641 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:15:54 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1780641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never occured to me to tell him not to wipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780615 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:58:19 +0000 ustechie 1780615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wipes. It's his favorite part! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780594 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:50:00 +0000 looch 1780594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hit or miss, sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Are they supposed to, or not, lol? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780591 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:48:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1780591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grapecrush: Monkey see monkey do. My husband wipes at home and shakes in public. Our son will most likely follow his daddy.</p> <p>@MsMini: what does your husband do that your son can observe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780575 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:41:44 +0000 GrapeCrush 1780575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>G always wipes when he pees in the potty. I think it's because he sees me do it. I just give him one square and he wipes himself. If I say he doesn't need to, he insists. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780561 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:39:06 +0000 littlek 1780561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahhaha.. The shake.. That's what we will teach DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780558 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:37:02 +0000 Mamaof2 1780558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: haha That's what I was going to say - we taught DS to shake his penis off after peeing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780459 Fri, 25 Jul 2014 02:32:02 +0000 mamimami 1780459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he shake? Haha I have not noticed a problem but I do count a few extra seconds after he says he's done before moving on with the pulling up of the pants :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-your-son-wipe-after-peeing#post-1780404 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 23:20:39 +0000 MsMini 1780404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, we just this week potty trained S, so far so good, no pee accidents at home, just 1 at daycare so far, waking dry from naps and in the morning. Poops are a work in progress. My issue is that I find he doesn't smell as clean as I am used to/would like. We haven't been making him wipe after pees (my husband insists that wound be weird) but I have to wonder if we are missing something. Maybe it is my sensitive pregnant nose, but there has to be something to help! </p>
