Do you dry after you wipe your baby?

I was watching a youtube cloth diapering video and the mom suggested after wiping the baby clean you should pat it dry. 

My wipes aren't soaking wet and I've never done this with DD. I am just curious what others do.

I don't, usually, unless they already have a rash. I will let them air out for a second and put the diaper on. If they were prone to rashes or had skin conditions, I would, though.

Might be a waste of time... but I use the diaper I'm about to put on her to blot her dry before I fasten it on.  I'm mostly worried about creases staying too damp.

I air dry or blow and make sure she's dry. Plus she thinks it's hilarious when we blow on her butt...lol.

Yes

I laminated a few of the greeting cards that DS has gotten from relatives, so he could play with them during diaper changes and they could also be handy to fan him dry.

I used to do this to Logan, also. He liked it and it made me feel creepy so I quit. Haha.

We do, it's M's favorite part of getting his diaper changed and thinks it's hilarious. We just use a dry wipe or washcloth.

I spray their bums and then wipe with a dry cloth.

Nope.

But he usually crawls away, so he gets air dried a bit that way.

Yes always

Sometimes, but I should make more of an effort.  I agree its a good idea. She just moves so much now, I'm usually just struggling to get her clean the diaper on.

We use dry wipes unless it's a really nasty poop then I'll wet it but I always dry.
