    Speaking of baby wipes i once bought a packet of sensitive baby wipes to wash make up off my face and it burnt my face. I was shocked.

    Baby wipes are brilliant for cleaning leather lounges and shoes & also cleaning carpet. Scary huh?

    Yep - babies bottoms (and their sensitive genetalia region) are no place for the toxic ingredients in commercial baby wipes. The bigger the brand the worse they tend to be.
    Its a catch 22 - they can cause inflamed skin and rashes - so then you need to buy some of their toxin-filled nappy rash cream.

    Go cloth and save $$ and chemicals!! Natures Child organic cotton cloth wipes are good - very soft. And their organic Bottom Balm is divine - I use it on my lips!

    Wow, so I'm being a good mum rather than a skinflint for buying some flannels for the cost of a packet of wipes and using those over and over!

    I used cotton wool balls when DS was a baby, then flannels with warm water when there wasn't an issue with more flannels than nappies in the bucket.
