Anyone else stock up on baby wipes from Costco?

There is a $4 coupon in the newest ad and DH and I got 4 boxes the other day.  This baby is going to have one clean butt!  There is also a coupon for diapers, but we only got 2 boxes since we don't know how fast he is going to grow.

We have 4 boxes and I'm considering going back for 2 more. I forgot how quickly you go thru them with a newborn!

I think I go through them faster with a 1 year old eating too much fruit!

You may not want to buy so many until you know how your baby's skin reacts to the wipes. My son is fine with the new wipes, but the ones they were selling back in 2009 gave him a skin reaction.

And the Costco wipes they sell now are not a friend of N's tush.  you will be able to return them to costco if you have issues.

Yes I am keeping my reciept just in case.  DH was thinking we should get more, but I told him not until we see if LO is going to be okay with these!

This is us too. There is always a pack in the car for the "just in case" scenario!

I'm a little worried about this, too.  DH is dying to go to Costco and buy a ton of them (he 's Costco), but I'm worried about sensitive skin, since I have it and it was more sensitive as a baby.

Psst...if you end up doing cloth dipes (I saw the diaper party post below) you'll probably find cloth wipes much easier!  I was going to do sposie wipes at first but with CDing the cloth is way easier (and cheaper.)  I am actually switching to sposie wipes when out as well, I like them so much more.  You'll want to stay away from the chemical wipes for the first couple weeks anyway because of sensitive booties and just use water on cloth or cotton balls.

Good to know!! Thanks!

Do they mail these coupons or are they the ones they hand out at the door?  I swear my parents get coupons mailed to them, but I don't.  I've been a member for years and always get their dumb Costco Connection magazine.  What gives?  Grrr.

Ugh, I meant switching to cloth when out and ditching sposie wipes completely.

It's in their coupon book but I think they also hand the same ones out at the door. You can also ask for a book at the front/membership desk and they'll give you one if they still have them (good for when you forget your coupons at home!)

Correction:  My husband stopped at Costco tonight for a few other items and gave in to 2 boxes of the wipes.  Luckily they're unscented and hypoallergenic.  Hopefully we won't be returning them.

And we get a coupon book mailed to us about once/mo or so.

We use disposable Costco wipes on the go, but we use reusable, washable wipes at home (also CD).  We use a super easy recipe for cloth wipes:

 Castile Solution

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon Dr Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap (we use the scent free kind)

2 drops tea tree oil

1 drop lavender oil

1 cup water

I put it into the squeezy bottle that the delivery room gave to me to hose myself off post birth.  Works great!
