Baby wipes are one of those things - once you start using them, you need them all the time. You come to wonder how you managed before you had them, and continue using them well after your babies actually need them. They are just so convenient. There are many kinds of baby wipes:
Homemade baby wipes are the cheapest option. For some purposes, they are just as effective. Cut up a shirt, a sheet, or an old fashioned table cloth to make perfectly good wipes. To avoid unravelling edges, you can use fabric that doesn't fray, such as fleece, or some types of jersey. You can also use pinking shears or do a quick hem or overlock. These wipes are perfect for mucky faces and grubby hands but for bottoms, you might prefer a fabric that is softer to the touch. Homemade sewn wipes can be made with a different fabric on each side: an absorbent side (flannel, towelling, jersey, etc...) and a water repellent side (possibly fleece). Having a fleece side will be very handy to clean your baby's bottom. You can make them of different sizes depending what you are planning to use them for. In our experience, a piece that is roughly the size of your hand is convenient for nappy changes. Washable baby wipes will save you a lot of money. They have many uses in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the car, at home or when you are out and about. They are made of relatively thin material so they are easy to wash, barely add any weight to your regular laundry and dry quickly. Their durability means that 24-30 wipes will go a long way. Flushable wipes are a convenient alternative. When you are out with your baby, using flushable wipes can be the easiest option. Most flushable baby wipes are free from harmful chemicals that could irritate your baby's skin. They are gentle on the skin and gentler on the environment. Biodegradable baby wipes are not suitable for flushing. Most of them are also free from harmful chemicals and will break down in 6-12 months in a biologically active landfill site. When purchasing disposable wipes, it is best to read the package carefully. Some brands contain chemicals which might irritate your baby's skin and/or be absorbed by his body.Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and parabens are among the chemicals you may want to avoid.
Having an assortment of several types of wipes will probably be the most convenient option.
