    @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!

    We have a boy and no do not wipe after just pee usually. 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.

    Girl and yes, every time, as well as dry her off.She is prone to rashes so I need to be careful.

    Depends on whether the diaper has absorbed all the moisture or not.

    I have a boy and don't wipe if it's just pee. We've never had any problems.

    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 & then blot with her new diaper.

    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.

    Always. 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.

    I would also wipe each time if I had a boy.

    I do sometimes, especially if its really wet or she has been sitting in it for a while.

    Always with a boy! Recently, he's developed a really nasty case of diaper rash that took a whole lot of time and cream to clear up.

    Nope, and she's a girl. Looks like I am in the minority too. LO has never once had a diaper rash though.

    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.

    Boy and no we don't wipe for pee diapers. 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.
