522. It was narrated that Lubâbah bint Hârith said: "Husain bin 'Ali urinated in the lap of the Prophet ﷺ, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, give me your garment and put on another garment.' He said: 'Water should be sprinkled on the urine of a baby boy, and the urine of a baby girl should be washed away.” (Sahih)
522 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي الْمُخَارِقِ، عَنْ لُبَابَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَتْ: بَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فِي حِجْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي ثَوْبَكَ، وَالْبَسْ ثَوْبًا غَيْرَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا يُنْضَحُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الذَّكَرِ وَيُغْسَلُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْأُنْثَى»

If a suckling infant boy (who has not been weaned) urinates over the garment, it is not necessary to wash it. A cloth urinated over by a baby girl must, however, be washed. We do not know for sure the wisdom behind this difference, but we are obligated to obey all the commands of Allâh and His Prophet ﷺ.
