Breast wipes

Meg&Austin

We are going go Mexico in a few weeks and I was looking at breast wipes for easy boob cleaning if she needs fed by the pool after I had been in the pool.... Any recommendations or should I go wash with soap and water every time?

Thanks for any input!!

Why do your boobs need a wipe down? Is she going on the pool? Of so, she's guaranteed to get more water in her mouth than she will from your boobs. I think this is a case of over thinking.

I disagree, I think at least a rinse with water after swimming in a chlorinated pool is warranted, not to mention, will taste better for baby. Edit to add, maybe not needed, I'm not really sure.

I actually asked the nurse about this because we were going to the beach and I was worried about the salt water. She suggested I go ahead and atleast rinse off before nursing. I didn't have LO outside for long so it wasn't a big deal to rinse off first. Enjoy your vacation!!

Thanks ladies. Yes she will be in the pool some. As of now she still eats every 2 hours so didn't know if I should run to the room every time. I know she won't be out there all day but between going to lunch and stuff will be her break from the sun too. I had seen some boob wipes when I was getting some things from Amazon for the trip and didn't know if anyone had any experience with them.

My biggest problem in Hawaii was sand...now that is tricky to scrub off boobs after swimming in the ocean!

I would probably just keep a bottle of water handy and rinse off before feeding if you've just been in the pool. I wouldn't bother with any sort of fancy wipe, and wouldn't use soap either.
