we do the qtip thing with every bath every other day to avoid fused labia. also wiping down and opening it with EVERY SINGLE DIAPER CHANGE is very important.

My daughter had the projectile pees early on and her labia was partially closed. My pediatrician told us to use a q-tip to tug it down (and open) periodically.

How do I tell if her labia are fused? She definitely is peeing like a fountain.

Open her outer labia and LOOK INSIDE!
If the inner labia don't open to the vagina they're fused.

google LABIAL ADHESION and check it out.
this is the less graphic i could find...

My daughter peed on me while we were still in the hospital.

OMG DH has never changed a diaper before and he was so happy to learn we were having a girl so no pee to the sky thing. Great surprise when she peed all over him, the changing table and the wall on her very first day at home. LOL
I will never forget DH holding her naked by her armpits away from his body coming to me all disgusted with a yuck face and a whinny voice SHE PEED ON ME!
And if you're not fast enough she'll even do the volcano poop thing. Goodness these kids are so funny!

No, but my DD spent a brief period while potty-training of peeing in her small potty while standing up.

Glad that's over.

LOL! That happened to us once! Luckily only once, though. If her legs are separated instead of together, the flow might not be as likely to go straight up.

Happened all the time when she was a newborn. Projectile poop in the face during the 3am changing is even better though...

All the time. We have to be super careful with DD. Interestingly, DS has never peed on me....

Only once (my son did it all the time).
Now if you want to talk projectile poop, my daughter wins hands down

Mine has done that.

Anyone else have a baby girl that pees straight into the air at diaper changing time? I thought only boys did this.
