Stop Your Baby Boy’s Diaper from Leaking with This Simple Trick
If you’ve noticed your baby boy’s diapers leaking pee, you’re not alone. A common reason for leaks is the position of their private part during diaper changes. Here’s a simple fix: point baby’s penis down, not up, to help keep everything contained.
Prevents Leaks: Pointing baby’s penis downward ensures that urine is directed into the diaper’s absorbent area, reducing the risk of leaks.
Keeps Baby Dry: Proper positioning helps keep your baby dry and minimizes the need for frequent outfit changes.

As a mom of 2 boys, I was cleaning up pee leaks on baby's belly, baby's onesie, and baby's cribsheet all the time, til another mom shared this tip with me. Point "it" down when you put on baby's clean diaper. When it's pointed up, baby's pee doesn't get absorbed by the diaper fast enough because diaper absorbency is weak around the waistband. If you point it down, baby's pee will get more instantly absorbed by the thicker more padded parts of their diaper. #boymom #newmomtips #firsttimemom #firsttimeparents #boydad #newborn #baby #diaperchange #diaperhack ♬ Beethoven Symphony No. 5 "Fate" - Kohrogi
Additional Tips for Diaper Changes
Cover During Changes: No need for a peepee teepee — use a spare burp cloth or wipe to shield yourself from unexpected sprays.
Check for Fit: Ensure the diaper fits snugly around the waist and legs. If leaks persist, try different diaper brands or sizes to find the best fit for your baby.
Use Overnight Diapers: Consider using diapers designed for overnight use to handle larger volumes of urine.
