Can I skip diaper wipes when it's just a pee diaper?

I always wiped my kiddo's with a wipe when they pee'd. Pee is irritating on the skin. Especially if you have to wear a diaper and have it stuck to your little bum. I've also used a wet cloth or put them straight in the tub (when it was close to their bath time). Either way in my opinion you want to clean it off. Even if there is nothing visible there, it's irritating to the skin. =)

Well, if you mean to use a washcloth and water on a pee diaper all the time, then I would say yes, that is perfectly fine. However, not cleaning his skin at all after a wet diaper wouldn't really be ok. Boys, don't wipe when they get older, but they are not sitting in their urine. Just think about it like this, if it were you wearing the diaper, would you wipe yourself off after you urinated? =)

Absolutely you can skip it. As a matter of fact, diaper wipes often make rashes worse. It's really okay to use plain water for all diaper changes. That's exactly what was used before wipes were invented.

All the best.

I wouldn't treat a diaper rash by switching from a disposable diaper to a cloth diaper, as a cloth diaper doesn't wick the moisture away from his skin, causing the rash to linger for longer. Disposable diapers wick moisture from his skin, allowing the rash to heal more quickly. I'd use Boudreaux's butt paste--that rash will clear up like nobody's business! Let him air dry as much as possible--after baths, let him run around without a diaper for ten or fifteen minutes, same with changes. It is generally ok to skip using a wipe with wet diapers, as urine is extremely clean. Just make sure that things are well dried.

We rarely used wipes on pee diapers with our boys. I mean, guys don't wipe when they're older...

Our boys never had diaper rash, so I'm not sure what to tell you. I would say to use a wet washcloth rather than a diaper wipe if you really feel like wiping is necessary.

you can but that is not gonna help clear up the rash.. the best thing is to let him go with out a diaper.. If you can handle it.. the area needs tobe dry...

try ointments that have aloe and zinc in them to help... A&D ointment also helps..

the one thing that helps my son when he gets a rash is browned flour.. you take some flour in a heated pan till it browns then when cooled you use it as baby powder.... I dont know why but it has cleared my sons diaper rashes in a day..

Also there might be somethng causing the rash I noticed with my son when he got oranges for lunch he got a rash.. so fruit with high acidity i wont give him right now.. unless i can stay on top of his diapers and change them the minute he poops...

i love giving my son naked time hes 1 yr old and its funny watching his cute lil butt run... he loves it too that now diaper changes are a fight cause he will try to run to be naked LOL.

If it is just a pee diaper here and there it is ok but it can cause a child to rash if they have sensitive skin. They make wipes that are unscented for sensitive skin. I kow this is hard for a boy but after you change a pee diaper let him be free with no diaper. There is a term called airing out and thats what he needs to do. I would just give him 15mins of freedom after each diaper.

Yeah if he has sensitive skin, I'd skip the wipe for a simple wet. And if he has a diaper rash especially. I think it will be fine.

Urine is irritating to the skin. Thats why we wipe it off with wipes, beyond that it makes their skill smell because the ammonia is absorbed in.

The best treatment for diaper rashes is to change more often, feed less acidy foods and to keep the diaper off as much as possible.
