Leaving intact 10 month old ds

[mysticmomma]

We'll be leaving him for a few hours with my father and stepmother on Sat. I want a very descriptive, yet very short sentence to describe how to wipe him after a diaper change if it is necessary. I am going to say unless it's poopy they don't need to wipe at all. He has been left with my mother for an hour, and she's seen me change his diaper, and I've seen her change his, and she always wipes appropriately, so I wasn't worried about it then. My father and their son are circ'd.

I just tell people:

"If it's just a pee diaper, no wipes needed - just put a new one on."

"If it's a poop diaper, wipe his parts like you'd wipe a finger. Do NOT retract him. Don't push back any skin! It will cause tears inside and may even cause it to bleed, because it's all still fused together in there."

I always make sure to mention that because it makes people:
1. Stop and think about it.
2. Know they don't want to cause the baby any pain.
3. Know they CERTAINLY don't want to have to deal with blood.

Bolding mine... my only problem with this statement is... how many doctors have we seen that pull it back just a little to take a peek. Most people don't think of that as retraction.
