what do you clean your babies face with after feeding

i have been using wet ones or a wshcloth with water, a friend says she uses (diaper) wipes... can you do that?

I just use a warm washcloth. Someone gave me a buttload of J&J skin care wipes at my shower so I was using those for a while but they have a scent to them and I would rather not use scented stuff for his face. He hates it, no matter what I use!

Diaper wipes are fine since they're alcohol free.

I personally use a wet paper towel.

I guess you can do that. I just use a warm wet paper towel.

It depends on the wipe she is using. Most wipes are full of chemicals and chlorine - which I don't think is good for the bum let alone the face. But I digress.

Can you do what she is doing? Yes. Should you? I don't know, I lean towards no but if the kid doesn't have super sensitive skin - then it might not be any different than using on the bum/genitals. Hopefully she doesn't get it in the baby's mouth ICK.

I just use diaper wipes. We have the sensitive ones so there isn't a scent or anything so I don't see why you couldn't use them.

my kid has crazy super sensitive skin and we use wipes all the time. it's the only thing that doesn't cause his face to get dry and scaly.

Wet washcloth with water only. Wipes irritate their faces and we have enough problems with that. Plus the added advantage is they love to chew on the cloth for a minute or so and that gives me cleanup time!

we use wet ones...

if its dinner time I just let her be messy and stick her right in the tub and use the washcloth.
