Baby girl private parts cleaning

Mine often gets poop stuck between her labia so yes you have to "open" and clean in between the lips
@M 🍃🌷🐈⬛ @Aggs So I open the lips and clean but sometimes she keeps the legs too tight and it’s impossible to open them. I try to clean the poop in between as well.
Hi!! I also just had a baby girl! After some research and asking girl moms i was told to clean any poop i see throughout but never remove any of the white things drs say it comes off on its own no need to mess with it
@Noelle my baby is almost two months old now. Should I not touch the white thing? Is it okay for it to be there for this long?
I always clean between as a rule because in nappies poo can get inside there and I often do end up cleaning a tiny amount of poo from there. Just gentle with a wipe one one finger. The build up however will change and come away over time. Clean between but don't worry about removing all of that white build up. I always still cleaned there gently once to make sure there was no poo when she had the white build up. If some of it comes away then thats that but don't worry if you wipe it and it doesn't. Same in the bath. My babies took a while to come away completely but I still cleaned there every pooy nappy!
Raise her legs and hold with your arm and open with your fingers. Or put one leg to the side. You have to clean the poop or else its an infection ready to happen. And at 2 months dont worry about the white stuff, clean it as well if you have to
I clean as much poop as I'm able to see, including spreading the outer lips and giving it a wipe. When doing the upper part and around the vulva, I always use clean parts of the cloth, nothing that's already touched skin. We've never had an issue.
Thanks everyone! Yes I do clean the poo inside the labia. Hold her legs and spread it. Thanks :)
You don’t need to remove the discharge or white buildup. It will regulate on its own. Just use gentle water around the area. I only ever clean inside if her poop gets in there, in which case just wrap a tissue or a wipe around your finger and gently clean it.
