Wiping baby

milomia · March 2014

I'd like to avoid using wipes after every pee- what is the best way to use thin washcloths when doing this? With warm water? Would you put them in a bin and wash every other day, for example? On another note I am trying to find a store that carries Water Wipes - and advice?

Call me a bad mom, but I don't wipe if there's no poop. I did at the beginning, but her bottom
Was becoming irritated.

We don't usually unless there's poo involved but do wipe down the diaper area once or twice a day with sterile water and 4x4 gauze pads. Actually used them for wipes for a while because of some skin irritations but finally changed over to sensitive wipes.

You can buy 4x4's from Amazon or about any drug store and they are cheap

You can also order liter bottles of sterile water cheap or just use nursery water or distilled water.

I never wiped after pee either. Both of my kids are a bit sensitive and all that extra water/wiping made it worse.

I wipe down once in the morning and once at bedtime with a warm wet rag.

I CD and for wipes I just use the cheap RE washcloths from Target. The ones in the $3.99 8 pack. They wash up so soft. I just toss them in a designated hamper and wash with the diapers. you could just get a small basket and do them as their own load.

We CD and use cloth wipes (flannel). I don't buy fancy wipe solution -- I just keep them in a re-used plastic Huggies wipe container and use water with a few drops of baby shampoo to keep them moist.

I also don't wipe if it's just pee.

I use these too! My baby had an allergic reaction to Huggies Natural Care-go figure!
