English translation:if your baby is wetting his/her bed,
Explanation:
flip him/her and let him/her wet himself.

Herhalde böyle bir alternatif kullanırdım. İngilizce'de alt/üst farkı gözettiklerini zannetmiyorum :)

"If your baby is wetting on the bottom, flip him/her and let him/her wet on top" is another modified version perhaps for more sarcasm. "Altina yapmak yerine, ustune yapmak" gibi... :))
