baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting!

I bought soft little flannels at the Warehouse - they came in packs of 5 or 10 for a few dollars each. I have about 40 or so cos I am lazy with washing!

Farmers had some white soft cotton cloths (about face cloth size) in a 5 or 10 pack too. They are just overlocked around the edges, so probably pretty easy to make too if you just found some soft fabric.

you can get some really cool ones on trademe, search through cloth nappies and they should come up too. We ended up just cutting up an old nappie that had ripped ( yes, we used the "old style" cloth nappies, folded cloth squares ) and then putting them in a container to store until i needed them. no more work than disposable wipes, as you normally gather everything together when changing a nappy, so going and wetting a cloth with warm water only takes 2 seconds longer. whatever fabric you have around, but preferably something with a little bit of grip to it, but of course make it soft...

My friend uses the wash clothes that u can get in packs of 6 from T&T for about $6. I have started to get some of these,..open the pack cos they feel way softer than they appear through the plastic pack!

My midwife told me about the nappy liners you can buy from the supermarket, they look like chux clothes. They come from Johnson&Johnson in a pack of 100. In a white box about $7. Thats what im going to try to start with.

Yep Bekkie, I use those - just plain nappy liners.
Not entirely practical for toddler poos so I have larger flannels too!

I'd say go with looooots of thin flannels. The thick, normal type of flannel is just too big for getting into creases to remove stuff. (You'd be suprised where it ends up!!!)
