How can I prevent UTIs in baby boys?

UTIs are often caused by bacteria like E. coli, so maintaining strict hygiene is essential. Always wipe from front to back during diaper changes—a practice that applies to both boys and girls—to prevent bacteria from spreading to the urinary tract. Ensure the diaper is changed frequently and immediately after a bowel movement, and check that a potty-training child isn't accidentally touching splash guards contaminated with bacteria.
