Just cut up some old flat cotton naps into squares, buy some wipes cubes (https://www.mothersinstinct.co.nz/products/Dixie-Drop-Cloth-Wipe-Cubes.html ) and a box of tissues for flushing, and your problem is solved. ]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:43:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=598260&title=wipes#598260 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=598146&title=wipes#598146 Author: McPloppy

I just bought some cheeky wipes and just love them. So much better than chux cloths.]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:56:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=598146&title=wipes#598146 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=597888&title=wipes#597888 Author: cuppatea

I have used the johnsons nappy liners as wipes and I also have some cheap small face cloths that I bought from babycity that I use. Obviously the face cloths I use on their faces are a very different design so they don't get mixed up.

I don't add anything to the water, but a couple of times when Spencer was little and his bum was a little sore I would add a few drops of tea tree oil.

You don't need to soak them just chuck them in the wash then hang them out in the sun and the UV will kill any bacteria that is left. The only thing I do is put a couple of drops of tea tree oil in the nappy bucket to keep it smelling nice.]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:51:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=597888&title=wipes#597888 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=597682&title=wipes#597682 Author: sweetpea

Isn't it odd that some find this concept so strange when its what was used before the convient disposables ccame on the market. I am sure most of us had our bums wiped with just cloths that were washed. I certainley plan on using cloth wipes it just seems logical i will have the odd packet of wipes though just in case.]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 10:41:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=597682&title=wipes#597682 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=596696&title=wipes#596696 Author: mothersinstinct

I used the sherpa wipes, highly recommend them too. So plush and not thin like chux cloths, and disposable wipes. They seem to last the distance too, and just wash them with your nappies and use them again and again.]]> Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:14:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=596696&title=wipes#596696 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=596685&title=wipes#596685 Author: kiwivic

With my cloth wipes I just rinse off any poo in my laundry sink and then stick them in the nappy bucket until I'm ready to wash. ]]> Sat, 24 Jan 2009 23:20:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=596685&title=wipes#596685 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=596642&title=wipes#596642 Author: Ella1

My mw recommended making a lavender spray (just water with a few drops of lavender added) and use flannels.

I use chux or liners as wipes and wash them til they fall apart. I have a spray bottle of this wipe mix for wetting them
2 cups boiling water
2 chamimile tea bags
2 tablespoons almond oil
drops of teatree oil

steep the teabags and allow to cool, then add the oils
Never had an issue when I used this stuff]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:56:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593813&title=wipes#593813 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593677&title=wipes#593677 Author: McPloppy

I use chux cloths to wipe my wee girls sweet patootie and have not looked back. I have a bowl of water that started of nice and warm in the morning and stays at room tempthrough the day. In the bowl e have a little of her bath wash cause we noticed her smelling a little. i am about to buy her second packet og chux cloths today...the other packet lasted two months. I wash them and are starting to disintergrate now. I might look into the cloth ones.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:43:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593677&title=wipes#593677 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593406&title=wipes#593406 Author: first

I brought Cheeky wipes which came with bucket and first lot of teatree oil. THey are great and after five months of use they are still fantastic. I've used them since DS's birth and have never found that I needed more than the 20 it came with.
Clothe wipes seem so much more gentle on their bottoms. I used a disposable wipe the other day and he got a rash.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 09:09:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593406&title=wipes#593406 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593251&title=wipes#593251 Author: AandCsmum

Ahh so there is a special wipe you can buy, cool might look into those.

Congrats on your new baby! I've not tried Chux cloths but I do only use water on my cloth wipes. I just run a fresh wipe under a warm tap before each nappy change as I've always thought that a warm bottom wipe would be so much nicer than a cold one!! My favourite wipes for smaller babies are Little Cloth Kiwis sherpa/flannel wipes, they're less than $2 each and are so soft & cute! For older weaned babies I love Dandelionz velour/terry wipes as they're really grippy on solid poo and stay looking new forever! ]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:42:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593208&title=wipes#593208 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593081&title=wipes#593081 Author: Alianasmummy

I used those for ages with Ali until i got sick of them disintegrating and switched to the yummy thick ones from tweedle. But whilst they are young and needing lots of nappy changes they work really well. I just ran them under warm water so they werent cold on a new lil bum and wiped. Either that or a few drops of teatree oil in a bowl of warm water is a nice way to freashen and cleanse at the same time.
Congrats on the new baby!

I'm sure I read on here about home made wipes from chux clothes or the like and warm water?

I have a few boxes of liners from last time so thought I'd use them as wipes & recycle them until they need to be thrown out.

if some one remembers the thread can they bump or give me the gist of it, ie do you add anything to the water?]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:38:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23892&PID=593000&title=wipes#593000
