diapers for baby boy? - Children's Health Message Board

Can anyone recommend a good diaper to use for a baby boy? Just about every time he pees it goes up his back and soaks through his clothes and soaks what ever he is laying on. I have tried all different brands...huggies, pampers, etc. I also fold his diaper down to the inside like they say to do for a boy. I have this problem every day , I am constantly washing sheets, blankets, everything, sometimes I even have to change his sleeper a couple of times at night because of this.

I had this problem with my son only when he was newborn and we had him on his side or back and he couldn't roll over by himself, so during the night he'd pee and poop and it ran up his back, I learned to ALWAYS use waterproof crib mats so I only had to change him, not his bedding.

Alynnr,

Did you put the waterproof pad on top of the bedding? I'm curious as well because I'm having a boy

I have always liked luvs they worked the best for me its been 4 years for me but i always liked the plastic type instead of the cotton type for the boys.

Do you point his pee pee down towards his feet or leave it pointing up???

You should point it down, this keeps the pee from coming out of the top and sides.
