Not unless you want the little angel trailing nasties all over the area you are changing them at, especially the angels that crawl. Next, get out at least one baby wipe for a wet diaper, and two or three baby wipes for the other kind of diaper, depending on the severity of the job at hand. NOW take the baby s dirty diaper off. After you get the dirty diaper off of the baby, put it out of reach of the baby. For wet diapers, wipe off the baby starting from front to back, even for boys.
Boys can get problems in the upper area too from feces getting around, or in, their urethra.
Even after thoroughly wiping a baby that has had a bowel movement, some residue may remain. When wiping later for a wet diaper, the residue that we don t see can get on the baby boy s urethra and cause him some problems if wiped from back to front. Obviously, it is the same for girls. For the diapers with the nasties in it, get the upper area first. With girls, wipe in the folds and work your way outward.
