Allergic to wet wipes
My LO has had pretty bad nappy rash. Our health visitor suggested we stop using water wipes because they contain citrus and some babies can be allergic and just go back to cotton wool and water. This has cleared up her nappy rash really quickly but is not practical for out and about. Has anyone had a similar experience and can suggest a baby wipe brand we can use that doesn't have citrus in?

@Ayesha it says she was told to stop using water wipes because her baby might be allergic to them
@Heather-Jayne sorry missed that bit. It’s been a long night 🥲 the sainsburys sensitive wipes work well for my boy who’s had issues with other wipes.
My twins have had bad nappy rash recently so I’ve been using cotton pads and water. I just take a little bag full of cotton pads, a small bottle of water and a little tub. Doesn’t take up much more room in the changing bag and doesn’t leak anywhere x
My LG reacted to aldi sensitive wipes initially so we went to pura water wipes for a bit till it cleared up. We then tried to the aldi extra sensitive which she's fine with and now use Costco wipes or aldi if we've run out.

I use the pleated cotton wool with baby lotion on for my baby (following on from my mum who has done the same for over 40 years) and I find it just as easy to take out and about with me! I have a little pouch that goes in my baby bag that I stick a couple of nappies/nappy sacks, some cotton wool and a bottle of lotion in and it’s dead easy to whip out on the go ☺️
