Tissue and Sorbolene

Midwife on the weekend said she doesnt recommend baby wipes...News flash to me! Hadn't even thought of there being other options.

She said to use tissue and sorbolene...

How does that clean the butt though???

You could always just use a facewasher or buy some velour wipes from a WAHM

One of the ladies in my MG used cotton balls and water - no cream at all

We use non chemical disposable ones for when we are out but just use face washers or some yummy soft velour ones when we are at home.
I strongly suggest you don't use any harsh chemicals such as Johnson and johnson products on your baby xx

Yeah, the chemicals they put in those things are terrible. We used cloth wipes at home and the Nature Babycare wipes when out.

Have always just used cloth wipes and water when at home and out.

DD is prone to very sensitive skin, and I have sever eczema and she was having allergic reactions to a/b. We used sorbelene & tissues, or just washed her in the sink (she wasn;t so thrilled with it, use warm water), but there is a lot of chemicals even in the sensitive wipes. Huggies would cause big flare ups, best were Aldi ones, but even those were bad. Her bum (like all our skin) has germs on it. As long as you have washed and wiped away all the poo, and she has regular baths, I would say it was fine.

we use cloths with warm water. much gentler, we wash them with the nappies (and so virtually free!) and no chemicals :)
