Do you use any baby "stuff" other than what it is intended for? For example I used Lanolin on my cracked heals and it worked like a charm! Lol weird but It totally works if you get dry cracked heels.

I will have to try the lanolin tonight! I have used it as chapstick/lip gloss when my lips were super chapped.
I use wipes for everything.

I'm sad I chucked my leftover lanolin!
But I have been using my leftover motherlove nipple balm as lip balm before I go to bed at night. It works really well.

Motherhood is not for wimps
I love my lanolin! I have a little tube I use as lip balm, I also use it on LO's chin to protect it from all of his drool, plus I use it on the backs of his hands if his skin is dry. I just don't like the thought of him eating lotion, so if lanolin is ok for nips and breastfeeding it must be ok for hands too. I feel like those tubes are bottomless. I have been using the same two I was given in the hospital for-ev-er and there is still plenty in them.

This! Baby wipes are a life saver for cleaning sometimes. Also I used to use my nipple cream on my lips all the time. I saw on pinterest that baby powder is great for getting sand off your legs and feet when you're leaving the beach. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to in the summer.

I didn't think of this! Haven't used it since I gave up BFing, so would be good to fine *some* use for it
And I agree with PP, I use wipes for anything! I prefer the Clorox disinfectant wipes, but the regular wipes really help with those initial messes (as well as sticky surfaces)
Don't know about anything else though - or else I can't think of it now, atm ~ EDIT! Wait, I forgot! I used baby oil to get rid of DS' cradle cap, and just this afternoon to take of his bandages without any pain (the oil soaks right through the bandages and wets the adhesive, for one smooth take-off w/out as much as a flinch from him!).
And I totally plan on using the baby powder to take care of the sand next time (so far, I only use it to help with the neck irritation from sweat getting trapped in his neck folds - it absorbs the moisture)

This thread is fascinating.
I've got to try this!
I use old microfiber inserts from CDs for dusting. They are dust magnets.
