Baby Wipes / Wool

We switched to wipes this week at 8 weeks but she's had a terrible nappy rash (Huggies brand) so we've gone back to cotton wool but might try a different brand? Following to see if anyone has suggestions

@Hattie from experience, huggies wipes are the worst on the market, I found them very thin and they would irritate my babies skin too! I've personally never used cotton wool and water, I use water wipes but usually Aldi or Tescos own versions, they are brilliant and reasonably priced. I will get pampers aqua wipes too when they are on a decent offer as they are quite pricey when not on offer, none of these irritate the babies skin as they are 99% water. Never purchased the original water wipes as I would need to take out a second mortgage to fund them🤣 x

Water wipes- started using day 1 - took to hospital noone said anything, no bad reaction on LO - used cotton wool and water at home for a couple of days but gave up as soon as she started doing multiple nappies a day as didn't seem very practical

I’m using these ones with water https://amzn.eu/d/0ezCxrbo and then just chuck them in the wash. They are great. And when we are out waterwipes. X

I have been using water wipes from about 4 weeks. They seem to work well with babies skin. They are expensive which is the only downside x

I use water wipes and have been doing from day 1. My little girl is almost 10 weeks and never had any issues. I will occasionally use cotton wool, mainly in the mornings when I’m giving her a wash anyway. I haven’t tried any other brands as can usually buy a bulk load of water wipes for a reasonable price on Amazon and have been advised by a few friends that with the cheaper brands they’re a pain as you always end up pulling more than one out of the pack which would drive me mad

We were using water wipes + cotton wool interchangeably since day 1 but noticed water wipes was starting to give her a bit of a rash so we changed to cotton wool at 3 weeks old and only use wipes when out

I switched to wipes after a week and my LG has been fine with them. I use pampers new baby and Aldi wipes and she’s been fine with both xx

We’ve used pampers, Tesco and Aldi water wipes since birth with no issues x

Used Aldi water wipes from day 1. No nappy rash so all good.

@Hattie we’ve used Fred & Flo, water wipes and pampers and all of those have been amazing for our little boy. Heard so many bad things about Huggies so never tried theirs before x

We’ve been using a mix of water wipes and cotton wool since birth. I used the Aldi sensitive wipes with my first but recently found out they have a chemical in them that should actually be cleaned off (phenoxyethanol) so we’ve switched to the Sainsbury’s version of water wipes which are much cheaper.

I went straight to Huggies wipes as they’re 99% water x

@Dreia the sensitive ones have it, the more expensive aqua wipes are dupes of water wipes and I think they’re ok!

Wipes since day one - a mix of pampers, water wipes, Aldi and Tesco. No issues x

I switched to wipes at 4 weeks. I’ve used Huggies pure for both my son and daughter and never had any issues 🤷‍♀️ every bub is different xx

Water wipes we’ve used since day 1 for both. LB never had nappy rash and so far so good with LG

@Dreia oh no!x

For poos at home we still use cotton wool and water but if she’s only urinated or pooed whilst we are out then we use Huggies pure, started using wipes when she was 3-4weeks old.

Sometimes I started using wipes probably week 2 but only at night as I couldn't get up to get water for the night time explosions....had to try a bunch and only water wipes don't give her nappy rash so have continued using them at night and out and about. When at home of she poos I just wash her.

We used Aldi wipes and noticed they were so harsh on her skin she got really bad nappy rash. We had to go to the doctors for creams. Since it cleared up we’ve been using water wipes and she’s been fine. They are expensive but worth it so she doesn’t get sore again.

Used aldis and asdas sensitive wipes since day one and had no nappy rashes and my bubs has sensitive skin

We use cotton wool and water and then the little ones (Sainsbury's) water wipes. X
