Can we talk about boy-parts again?

First --  thanks for all the advice you guys gave Cooper about his diaper issues.  We went up a size (sorry, stayed with Pampers as we tried Huggies and they leaked).  The bigger size seems to be working and thankfully we were able to exchange the big box of the small size!

Now -- onto another "diaper issue".  

You know how there is always embarassing things that parents do to mortify their children?  Like the obligatory bathtub pictures you bring out when your child brings home their first "date" ? 
Well if Cooper finds out I ever mentioned this topic....he'd be so embarassed! 

Several of you said to point down his penis when I diaper him.  BUT....well his little penis is like a turtle inside a shell --- there is NOTHING to point down.   I don't want to insult my son's manhood....but really... I can't point it down unless it's ready to fire....  ya know?   

Any advice???  

For now I'm not worrying about it since the new diapers seem to be stopping the leaks....

Below is the obligatory bathtub mentioned I'm sure we all have of our children!

No worries -- I don't point Daniel, and couldn't even if I wanted to.. even at 18 months old.

Well, there's the "growers" and the "show-ers".  Cooper is likely in the 1st category and so was my oldest.  You won't have to worry about pointing it until you're trying to potty train LOL

Cute picture!

Hugs,

I never heard of that "point it down" thing... besides it wasnt big enough when he was in diapers to even attempt it. LOL

But now that he is 5.... it is growing just as his other body parts... so everything "matches". 
Anyways... I never pointed it down. And it "hangs" down now. So I wouldnt worry about it if I were you

No advise really but I love the story and all. LOL!! Love the picture though!!!

What a cute pic of him!  Awww too sweet!

I'm so glad you've been posting these topics......After 2 girls I'm having a boy......and well.....I've NEVER changed a boy's diaper in my LIFE!  I've been a little stressed about not knowing crap about boy parts and what not.

So, I've been taking in all the good replies from you're post.......

Good luck!

Ash... Keep that pistol covered while changing him or you'll regret it!  LOL

Ditto for what the others said...I do not really think at this early of an age there is much to point down. I *tried* with Emad but really just making sure the diapers were the right size and on properly seemed to help. Later when we did have a few accidents I got the vinyl diaper cover undie things and they helped avoid leaks on his pj's. Hope that helps.
