Yes mam.

meg1974 · October 2009

Yes. I figure, I wipe myself when I pee, so why wouldn't I wipe her?

Sometimes. The diapers wick the moisture away, so it's not like she's been sitting in a puddle. If I'm in a hurry I don't use one.

Yes, almost always. I've skipped maybe a handful of times if the diaper was barely wet and I was trying to change in a huge hurry for some reason.

I always do too, but I was reading another post (from a few days ago) about how she never uses wipes to change a wet diaper, and was wondering if it was weird that I did!

That makes sense. I thought this might be in relation to one of my old posts a few days ago where my MIL doesn't wipe at all when changing diapers, so I refuse to let her change DD's diaper.

gumiberg · October 2009

yes.

i am surprised by the no people just because it never dawned on me not to use one.

borc0080 · October 2009

Not every time.

mavilabride · October 2009

Yes.

It honestly depends. In the morning when she's been in a pee diaper all night long she practically gets a sponge bath from her navel all the way down and around. During the day if she's been in a wool cover (we use cloth diapers) not usually. I notice DH does every time so between the two of us I'd say about 80%. We use cloth wipes too but my concern with wet wipes is that it's a lot of non-soap soap to be putting on baby skin. And I guess just to be clear about the "drip dry" - we dry her off between each and every diaper change but do we wet down a cloth wipe and wipe her after every pee diaper? No.

Yes

No- I don't. With my first daughter I did, but she would always seem to get very sore or red looking on her little baby girl parts. Even if you use gentle wipes, they can be harsh on their skin.

Generally she look pretty dry anyway because the diaper picked up the moisture. If she actually looks wet, I'll use a wipe or a clean baby washcloth to dry her.
