I’m just going to say it.

We’ve all been thinking it.

We all know its true.

That whole “wipe from the front to the back” thing is a load of hooey.

I have 2 daughters.  98% of ALL the poopies I have changed look like they came out of the front rather than the back.  How am I supposed to “wipe from the front to the back” when the poop trail starts an inch below the belly button?

Seriously.

Save that hygiene message for the potty-trained crowd.  Its worthless for a baby.  Yet I see it in every baby care book and hear it from my doctor everytime she gives Giggles the once-over in the down-under.   Yes, I know sloppy work can cause bladder infections.  Please tell that to my baby, since she is the one who put the poop there in the first place, not me.  Which direction I wipe is not really a critical issue.  If Giggles and I both get out of there without poop under our fingernails, its a good day for personal hygiene.
