One of the nurses actually recommended not wiping just for pee diapers the day after our son was born, because the skin is so sensitive and the less touching (patting, wiping, etc.) the better and it just isn't necessary for pee diapers. So I never did and never have had a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407882 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:47:53 +0000 delight 1407882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wipe always and have a girl. Unfortunately she has a bad rash right now so I wipe, air her out a few minutes, cream, then diaper. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407880 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:47:12 +0000 JerricaBenton 1407880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting.

I have a girl. Never occurred to me not to... I assume the pee would get all over and it feels gross (to me) to not wipe her down. </p> <p>I would also wipe each time if I had a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407830 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:28:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 1407830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I use a dry part of the diaper to blot any moisture. I guess I'm in the minority but that's how my mom does it. If she was soaked I will use a wipe &amp; then blot with her new diaper.</p> <p>We've never had any issues with diaper rash. She's gotten a little red at times but it's usually because she's had big yucky poos, not her pee. I change her diapers frequently so she is never sitting in a wet diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407823 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:25:55 +0000 yellowbird 1407823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always! i have a little girl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407785 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:06:35 +0000 HLK208 1407785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I did/do for both girl and boy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407784 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 15:06:30 +0000 DigAPony 1407784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a boy and don't wipe if it's just pee.

If he's a bit stinky then absolutely I do but not normally. He tends to react to disposable wipes and the water plus cloth wipe takes too long for his attention span so I normally just skip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407600 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 14:02:47 +0000 Sapphiresun 1407600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yeah. I've never changed a boy diaper, not experienced what it's like to pee like a boy so it could very well be different. But I'd still think the diaper would trap the wetness against the skin more than it will when he potty trained and peeing away from his body. But if you've never had an issue it must be totally fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe/page/2#post-1407524 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 13:20:24 +0000 MapleMoose 1407524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: LOL!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407518 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 13:17:52 +0000 Alivoo01 1407518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: @Sapphiresun: I think if I had a girl, I would, but I have a boy and the thought doesn't occur to me bc boys won't "wipe" even when they're older. They just shake and move on. Even if it means getting driplets on their underwear.</p> <p>@travellingbee: No diaper rash is a good thing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407491 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 13:03:58 +0000 petunia354 1407491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thought of NOT wiping never crossed my mind! We have a son and we wipe every diaper change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407430 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:45:16 +0000 coopsmama 1407430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't wipe C after every wet diaper change. He's never had any irritation or rash and it seems to be working out just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407419 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:41:03 +0000 Pepper 1407419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Red is just irritation... the splotchy bright red/looks like it's bleeding rash is diaper rash (in my experience). I always put cream on him if he's red to prevent it from turning into diaper rash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407417 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:40:51 +0000 travellingbee 1407417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: Good to know. That sounds very unpleasant! I have an almost 11 month old and I still don't know what diaper rash is! LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407412 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:39:32 +0000 Pepper 1407412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy and usually! If he hasn't had a change in awhile then yes, but sometimes no (especially if the diaper isn't that wet). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407407 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:38:28 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1407407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: girlfriend, you'll know when it's diaper rash. We've had it once with our son and it was terrible. It was bumpy and it bled. My lo's bum is red every morning but goes away after his quick bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407404 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:37:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1407404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ALWAYS!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407395 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:34:39 +0000 travellingbee 1407395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I ask a stupid thread-jacking question? When you say, "S/he's never had diaper rash" do you mean, a diaper rash that needed treatment? I don't know if my LO has ever had "diaper rash" per se but occasionally he's gotten a little red (just on his bum in between his cheeks) and it goes away with some butt-paste. Is that actual diaper rash or just some irritation? Sorry, again for thread-jacking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407379 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:30:17 +0000 travellingbee 1407379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boy-- usually. Although it gets harder and harder since he is a moving target. So sometimes, if it isn't too wet, I just slap that new diaper on and send him on his way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407375 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:29:46 +0000 Sapphiresun 1407375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always. </p> <p>Haven't you ever peed in a public bathroom that was out of TP, and it felt kind of gross/stingy after? I just assumed her pee was acidic too, so I've always wiped. At home I'll do it just with water and pat dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wet-diaper-do-you-wipe#post-1407362 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:26:16 +0000 sandy 1407362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a girl and I didn't wipe after every wet diaper. If it was super wet I used a cloth wipe. She has never had diaper rash. Now she's 26 months and potty trained so of course we wipe after she goes pee in the potty </p>
