Sayyida Umm Qais bint Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I brought my small child, who did not eat food (i.e., was an infant), to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated him in his lap, and the child urinated on his clothes. He called for water, sprinkled it over the clothes, and did not wash them.

Brief Explanation
An infant who has not yet learned to eat or drink anything (other than milk), it is sufficient to sprinkle water over his urine. However, this ruling is only for male children; the urine of female infants must, in any case, be washed. (Raaz)
