Hello. So I thought this might be the best place to ask this question. I had a baby boy on Nov 20th. My question is how do you manage to change a boys diaper without them peeing everywhere? It seems that everytime me or my husband change his diaper, he pees on his clothes and blanket. There has to be a way to avoid this.... I was raised in a family of all girls, including cousins so I have no experience with boys.. Help please!
Learn how to be QUCK and have something nearby to block.
That's about all you can do!
Keep them covered until the last possible second. Meaning get the other diaper out and ready to slide under and flip up. Also, a good indicator that they are going to pee is that they are more erect than normal. Weird, I know, but after 2 yrs and trying to potty train a toddler, you notice things.
Try to keep his little peepee exposed only while you clean around that area. Hold the new diaper over it, or a washcloth ( you should have plenty of those on-hand ) over it. That is what we do. Prepare all the diaper changing supplies before you take the diaper off, and that will cut down on getting pee everywhere! We learned this lesson after my son peed all over us and himself!

I am 26 and currently working to earn my birth doula certification. I love to help other moms.
I love my husband. I love my son. They are the greatest blessings in my life.
I never had that problem with my son... It was my daughter that peed every time we changed her LOL
I would just maybe try one of those pee pee teepees, or a wash cloth every time you take his diaper off.
I am a Canadian,breastfeeding (it IS best, there is nothing even close to that nutrition and bond), co sleeping, extended rear facing (if you don't rear face to the maximum of your seat, you're NOT doing all you can to protect your child), baby wearing, Non spanking (I want my kids to respect me, not fear me) ANTI- CIO, homemade baby food making, cloth diapering, organic (chemical free household!) recycling mama to TWO! My husband is my equal and best friend, not my master and I believe basic health care should be a human RIGHT, not a privilege.
