There is no need to open the lips of your baby girl’s vulva to clean inside, and you should never try to do so. Just wash the skin of the diaper area and dry it carefully.
When you are washing your baby girl, take care to wipe from front to back – that is, toward the anus – when you clean the nappy area. This will avoid soiling the vulva, and minimize the risk of spreading bacteria from the bladder or vagina, which could cause infection.
