    I used water for the first 3ish months- it's the best thing for little newborn bots. Then I switched to bubblebubs foamy wipes wash.

    I have some of the coconut Bubble bubs stuff that I got from the gorgeous Lee, and I have to say, that while it smells beautiful - would love to try them all, it really doesn't do anything that water alone or a bit of baby lotion on the cloth doesn't IYKWIM?

    i've used fragrance free sorbolene creme with tissues as an alternative...keeps the bum nice and moist and creates a protective barrier.

    Kim, ur right it doesnt do anything water couldnt do, but i find with cloth nappies the pee smell is stronger and sticks more IYKWIM? and fragrance free wipes wash leaves behind the pee smell, the fragranced ones just freshen them up a bit

    As Meow said, I believe that just water is best for the first little while. (Though I occasionally used a bit of sorbelene to get rid of "sticky" poos).

    I have made my own spray bottle that has water (about 400mL), 3 squirts of sorbelene and 1 very small squirt (1/2 a teaspoon) of a nicely scented baby wash in it. (At the moment its that GAIA bedtime bath). Heaps and heaps cheaper than the premade stuff. You can just buy a spray bottle from a supermarket in the gardening or cleaning area. HTHs.

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. DS is 18 months old so im not too worried about using things other than water on his bum and i was thinking the same as skybie that just water might not take the wee smell away.

    Skybie that tropical punch sounds devine *runs off to mister google*
