I'm in the process of getting some cloth wipes, and I was wondering... what do you use with yours?
With the ones that were in the hirekit, I just used tap water but I was starting to think that some sort of wipes solution might be in order... So what do you use? ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I just use water but some people no add a little Tea Tree oil to them too. I would say had few drops to water and keep in a container like those huggies pop up ones. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

I ususally just use water but you can also add a tablespoon of baby body wash and tablespoon of vegetable oil to the water. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We use just water too but i have seen some recipes for adding camomile tea and almond oil to water. I just leave the water in my old huggies pop up container too and wet as i ned, for going out i have a huggies travel container and i just dampen some cloths before i leave and pop them in it ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

i used to use water with tea tree oil in it, but now i use water with some baby shampoo/wash and a squirt of baby oil in it. it makes the water softer somehow, and is definately softer on the skin then before. ------------- Lyla - mum to Xanthe -  my big 4 year old

We wet a few face cloths at a time and store them in a huggies pop up container. Works really well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Theres a recipe that goes something like
400 mls boiling water, 1 tbs baby oil and bodylotion and you pour it over your paper towels to make them into homemade wipes. I used it on a pile of johnsons baby liners and use them to clean up messes with - in a huggies pop up container! Otherwise its just plain water |
