OK, I feel kinda dumb now!

Every once in awhile (maybe a few times a week) Liam's outfit is wet in the back. But the diaper isn't that heavy with pee. I just figured it leaked somehow.
Someone at work said something about how to change a baby boy and said I have to hold his penis down when I put the diaper on him so when he pees it won't shoot up out of the diaper.
OK, I never even thought of that or heard of that. I feel like a dunce now!

They told me that at the hospital and the few times I have done it he wet his whole body. I just let it go where it wants and it has worked for me. I think more frequent changes or no liquids before bed might also help.

I never pointed it down so don't feel bad... what I found that was causing leaks once in a while was when we put too much vaseline or A&D ointment on, the peepee was dripping around the back and out the diaper. If you're using ointments try not to use too much - maybe that's the problem.

That happened to us the first day we brought him home. Luckily, we figured out to point it down that night.
