Everytime i pick up my newborn, he has pee all over his back and I have to change his clothes? Why is this?

Question

I have tried different sized diapers and thats not the problem. Do you know why this is happening, hardly no pee is in the diaper its all over his back and clothes instead.

Answer 1

Make sure you tuck his little pee pee bug down and facing toward the middle/absorbant part of the diaper before you strap it onto him.  Also, try a different brand if you havn't already.  My son used to pee right out of Huggies when he was a newborn, so I switched to Pampers and love them.  Swaddlers are the best, and then once you get to size 3 use Pampers cruisers (thats just my opinion though!) Good luck!

Answer 2

Different brands fit different babies differently. Try a different brand of diaper. If you are using newborns, they might be too big. Maybe try using premie diapers.  

Answer 3

Tuck his p***s down when you put the diaper on. The diaper should be on tightly--tight enough so that there is an inch or less between the tabs when they are pulled around to the front. It also may not be an issue of trying different sizes, as trying a different brand.  

Answer 4

my first thing would be to make sure the diaper is secured tightly enough. if they are loose they will leak!

Answer 5

MY SON'S DID THAT TOO... try a different brand. Pampers works for him... and make sure you make his pee pee point down just incase.  

Answer 6

he needs to be

"pointed down".  lol.. I had the same issue with my son and I couldnt figure out what the problem was.  point his p***s down ans bang...problem solved (and less time spent doing laundry)

Answer 7

Be sure you are putting the diaper on properly - front in front, back in back. Also be sure that they are not tucked inwards all around.

Answer 8

Also could be a problem with the opening of his urethra - it might be on the underside of his p***s or even as far back as on the perineum,  rather than at the end - this is called hypospadias.  It causes wee to be in all the wrong places and can result in urinary infections.  You should be able to tell by having a look at it, but if not, your GP should be able to check it out for you.  Otherwise, I guess it's just the nappy (sorry, diaper!).  

Good luck!

Answer 9

make sure that you tuck his little dingy down that way he doesn't pee out the top of the diaper.

Answer 11
