Do you wipe baby every time you change their diaper even if they only peed?

Question

I’m having a debate with my mother because she doesn’t think it’s necessary if they just peed so she just puts on a new diaper. 
I think that not wiping when the pee could lead to a rash.
And yes I know, my baby, my rules and she will if I ask her to. I’m just trying to see what the norm is. 
What’s your opinion or what do you do?

Answer

Uhm yeah....when she goes to the bathroom does she only wipe with toilet paper when she poops? 
This is a dumb argument.

Answer

Once in a while I just skip it since I bath my baby every night but I just stared doing that when she turned 10 months when she was younger I would wiper every single time

Answer

We cloth diaper & use cloth wipes... I don’t always spray the wipe to wet it for just pee, so I’ll just give him a dry pat down sometimes. Especially if it hasn’t been long since his last diaper change. If it seems like he needs freshened up, I’ll definitely give him the full wet wipe.

Answer

Girl, yes, boy, no. My boy is sensitive to overwiping. So I only wipe every other time.

Show her pictures of urine burn/scald on skin

Answer

Only if he’s been asleep for a long time because I don’t wake him to change pee.

Answer

I skip the wipe maybe once just because with extra moisture down there can cause bacteria to grow, causing yeast. It’s not s “dumb” argument.

Answer

I’ve gone without wiping my daughter before and it left her super red and clearly uncomfortable. Thankfully it didn’t turn into a full blown diaper rash but it was definitely red from I’m assuming the ammonia in her urine. 
Even if you only use 1 wipe, id say use a wipe every time.
