    I just use water, and wet them at the tap on my way to changing him (the bathroom is about a meter away so it's not a great hike). I keep a bottle of water next to the change table JIC though. I used to use a mild chamomile infusion (which is great for nappy rash and smells brilliant), and kept it in a small sports bottle next to the change table, but the ants decided that they liked it too so I went back to water. I suppose I could have kept it in the fridge, but that just seemed too complicated LOL.

    Once used the cloths go straight into the nappy bucket, pooey ones get a rinse first. I have a packet of biodegradable disposable wipes in the nappy bag for emergencies, but I also keep a handful of dry cloth wipes and a bottle of water and just wet them as I need them. I think I've used maybe five of the disposable wipes in total, and the packet has been in the bag for months.

    I keep a pump water bottle on the change table and I squirt a bit of water onto the wipe and a squirt of bubblebubs foamy wash on his bot. I then chuck the wipe in with the rest of the nappies in a flip lid bin I have in the laundry. As he only poo's once a day I often reuse one wipe twice as I use half for one wee and then the other half later! I use sposie wipes when I go out for now.
