Baby boys and peeing on you during diaper change...

[Munki'sMom]

All my friends with baby boys (their boys are circ'd too) say they get sprayed with pee at almost every diaper change. I just had my first lil boy, not circ'd, and so far he has not sprayed us ONE time!!!!!

Got me to wondering if being circ'd makes them more sensitive to air, wipes etc... that would make this happen more??? Since my baby is not circ'd is he just not as likely to pee on us during a change or have we just be lucky so far? LOL!!!!!!!!!!

From my personal experience, it has more to do with the individual child than their circ status. Both my boys are intact; DS#1 was a sprayer, DS#2 is not. A friend with a circ'd boy says he has never sprayed, and another friend with a circ'd son says she can barely get the diaper on fast enough.

It might also have something to do with the parent's diapering habits - if you take the diaper off and leave it off for a long period of time, you're bound to get peed on eventually. Or if you don't recognize that tell-tale dry diaper to mean that baby is about to pee... well, everything is about to be soaked!

My non-circ'd son has peed on my husband numerous times.

My son is intact and never sprayed during a diaper change. My circed nephew used to spray all the time.
There was a thread similar to this a while back and some people did say their intact sons did spray some though, so I think it just depends on the boy.

My not quite 3 week old intact son has gotten me several times already. I am so used to girl diapers, I don't have the quick cover up quite down yet.

Both of my sons are intact...DS1 was a sprayer (it helps to keep a washcloth nearby, drape over his penis as soon as it's exposed), DS2 is not a sprayer.

My intact son has definitely peed on us quite a few times.

I take care of entirely intact preemies. Parents get peed on daily. Nothing whatsoever to do with circ status.

Our son who is intact has def peed on me numerous times, as well as, quite a few family members. Not so much anymore now that he is a little bit older. It was more frequent when he was a newborn.

I used to have this theory. Nathan is intact, and I've NEVER been peed on. But, apparently, my theory has been dubunked.

[Sharlla]

Neither of my intact boys have sprayed.

My son is whole and I was sprayed a lot! I started laying a cloth wipe over him during changes. He also pooed on the changing table a lot. Which wasn't bad because it saved a diaper. (I just used dish cloths as changing pads and washed them with the diaper laundry). My daughter has never peed or pooed during a diaper change.

[Claire and Boys]

My oldest has never sprayed me. My youngest though sprayed HIMSELF right in the face when he was 2 weeks old

[3pink1blue]

my ds has only peed on me once. i can't tell you how many times he's pooped on me though!


my nephews are both cut and one was a sprayer, the other is not.

DS 1 dry with diaper changes except when dh would walk away to throw the diaper away before putting a new one on. DS2 Sprayer almost every time regardless of the amount of time exposed. I am a maternity nurse and I work in the Newborn Nursery a lot. Some babies pee some don't. I just have to try to be as quick as I can. I brought that with me when changing my boys but DS 2 still peed every where all the time. It was the only thing about him that I could count on!!!

I don't think ANY of my kids (I have a boy and a girl) ever peed on me during diaper changes. I did EC, however.

Elimination Communication!

I also don't think it has anything to do with intact status. As a believer and practicer of Elimination Communication, we believe that babies pee after a diaper is removed because they don't want to soil themselves and would rather pee outside the diaper. Of course, newborns are going to be peeing very frequently anyways so I also believe that some of them may be just coincidences in timing

[Alyantavid]

My boys are both intact and I was only peed on once. With my youngest, his very first diaper change.

[njbeachgirl]

DS is intact and only peed during a change once, when he was 2 days old.

[Eman'smom]

I think it's the kid, ds is intact and sprayed himself, us, walls, floors, ect, during just about every change for quite a while. I however know many boys intact and cut that never spray.
