I'm a little embarrassed in asking, but any suggestions on how to change a little boys diaper? I feel like I don't know how to change my son he almost always pees or poops as I'm changing him. He previously got a rash so I'm always in the look out for wet diapers, but never seem to get it right. I've dirty so many cloths and blankets and used so many diapers as well. I go through a big box of diapers in a week. 😞. I change him before feeding and after.
@alimarilyn7820, thank you. If it's that fast I will definitely buy it.
you can also use aquaphor for the rash. clears it right up within like 6 hrs. or so the results were for me. but in time you'll learn how your son is when it comes to changing time. (:
I would suggest switching to cloth if you're hating these problems :-)
Mommy's I just did it 🙌. I waited about 10 mins till he was done eating. slide a new diaper underneath then put a wipe on top of his wee and made sure he was dry then applied rash cream and strap his diaper on. it was a success hope it continues lol. I appreciate all the advice
all a learning experience. my son peed on me several times before getting it right. before you change him, slide the new diaper under him then unstrap the diaper he has on. helps for a quicker change. also, I always waited about 15 mins after feeding him before changing him again. every baby is different but that seemed to help from being peed on. also, once the cold air hits there little pee pee it makes them go again. so don't feel guilty. it takes time but you'll get used to it. your doing a great job!
& today I learned how well corn starch works for diaper rash, If he ever gets it again. just put it on his bottom like baby powder after his diaper change! it's a miracle worker :)
@christylee94, @elenasmommy @emmajeremy2627 @love_bug15 @myliltadpole1116 thank you ladies I will definitely take all your advice and put it to work asap, I do want his rash to go away and I want changing time to be a way to engage with my son, not be scared or discourage to change him
I always slide the new diaper under my sons bottom before even unfastening his dirty diaper, we had him bomb the bedroom and our comforter the other day (I was hit) lol. And that would have helped me then at least by slightly shielding . Desitin is always best pat dry and rub gently until it looks like it's well integrated with the skin. The look is different than if u just slide it on with a finger and leave it at that. Keep his member pointed down and covered . I like to have everything ready to go before even starting to change him. I'll even pull out three wipes as a base start in case he decides to surprise me. If he has a really bad rash try an oatmeal bath. Steel cut , traditional oats with warm water and let it mix . Just rinse him off before drying:) you'll get the hang of things mommy it just takes time!❤️
I don't have a son but my mom would always put a warm wash cloth on my brothers wee whenever changing a diaper so they didn't pee everywhere
desitin it will clear up the rash SUPER quickly and make sure to let it dry completely before u apply the desitin and put a new diaper on esp after bath time...it will heal faster if it get let's to air out sometimes.
@elenasmommy,thank you I will look for that cream I don't want him to get another rash again.
@emmajeremy2627, thank you that's a good idea with the wipe and I will make sure his wee is pointing down next time. thank you so much for your advice 😊
It won't treat a rash that he already has but once you clear that up it prevents another one from coming
Well I have a daughter so I can't help with the changing but A&D has a rash cream that prevents diaper rashes because it makes a barrier between the skin and the wet diaper and it works really good for me. You put it on Everytime you change them and it keeps the rash from starting.
make sure when putting a fresh diaper on you point his wee wee down as if it is up he will pee out the top of diaper. boys once they hit wind start peeing lol so better off unstrapping diaper and putting a wipe or leave his diaper covering a little and change him :) as far as poo make sure he's done before you change him. after they go I normally wait about 2-3 mins to make sure there done.
I have a stupid question so please don't judge...but my baby boy pees his diaper every so often. even right after I change his diaper he will pee a little bit. how much does he need to pee before changing a diaper so I'm not wasting diapers? or do I change him even after the smallest little pee he makes?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
How many stitches??
I tore during birth and my doctor didn't tell me how many stitches I got. I asked him when he was down there sewing and he brushed it off and changed the subject.
Many will disagree with me, but I think changing tables are absolutely pointless. I never once used one with either of my girls and didn't buy one for our baby on the way. I always changed my girls diapers wherever we are...couch, bed, etc. I always have a basket in the main living areas with the diapering essentials. Works great!!
Moms! My baby's bottom is just so torn up and hot:( this rash won't go away fast enough! It hurts him so bad when he screams he throws up multiple times while getting changed! I don't know how to help him quick enough! Help!😭😭
no problem. ^-^
