How many wipes do you use a day?

I feel like we are just flying through the wipes.  We only use wipes when she poops or has a shart/skid mark.  If she is just wet I do not use wipes so I do not irrritate her skin.

 I would say we easily go through 40 a day or maybe more.  Is that excessive?

We use a million. You can make your own washable wipes. People use flannel, even recieving blankets. Cut them in 8x8 squares and sew the edges.

We use cloth wipes (also cloth diapers but I'm sure you could just use cloth wipes if you wanted).  Just squirt with plan water and wipe.  Typically only one required per poop.  The most I have needed was 3 but that was a time when he pooped several times after I thought he was finished!

I need to be more efficient with mine because I feel like I use a lot.  The only good thing is that DS usually doesn't poop every day which is the only time we use them (and for skid marks).

It seems like everytime I go to grab a wipe, it's the last freaking one. We go through them like crazy. Trace poops 2 to 3 times a day and I sometimes use wipes when he pees just to clean his area.

13 per change. So avg 8 changesish, 16 on average a day.

This. Plain water dis easier on his skin, too.

One for pee and two for pee and poo. If poo is out of control, then two or three. Really trying to watch how many we use just bc they add up quickly per diaper change.

We use cloth wipes and use one per diaper change (whether it's poop or pee). Avery is ebf and poops about ten times a day so I'd say we go through at least ten cloth wipes per day. When I used to nanny and used disposable wipes I would describe the boys' crazy poops as being a "five wiper" or "ten wiper" and even when Avery has HUGE poops, I still only need one cloth wipe...pretty amazing.

I mostly use 2, sometimes 3 or 4 with every change. She poops with every feeding though. So about 20 to 30 wipes?
