I have made wipes, won wipes and wash cloths for wipes, I have warm water and a peri bottle, a jar, a spray bottle, wipe cober and several different wipe solutions containers for wipes....I have watched Dirty DIaper Laundry how to make your wipes pop...found here
Boldly we went forth into the cloth
diaper journey at the hospital! I even packed some cloth wipes but the baby
wipes in the hospital were very soft and chemical free so we used them
instead,I actually brought the diapers as an "If i feel up to it"
thing so I fully prepared to use sposie wipes while admitted. I got home and
when the last disposable wipe was finished (day 5) I pulled out my baby cloths
and soaked them down and proceeded down our crunchy path. OH NO there was a
road block! I HATE THE CLOTH WIPES. One they are ruff on baby (the softy soft
sposie wipes are much more lux) They are too pretty and poo looks not right on
them... I know that part sounds strange but nothing is as weird as newborn poo
on the face of a little fishy wash rag or on the bright yellow of a WAHM
flannel wipe.
Other more important reasons, I can’t find a solution I
like, I run out of solution at strange times (3am much, I am a poor planer) the
idea of pre-moistening them seems wasteful for some reason or wrong to me like
they will mildew, I however never seem to get enough butt wash on the wipes,
also and HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON... my baby had a rash as soon as I
started using them. I dont think they get his booty clean enough. Am I doing it
wrong? I dont think so. As soon as I switched back to pop up sposie...Soft nice
smelling sposie wipes! My baby’s booty is clean and not RED, Now I have a
different set of problems
I sometime forget to remove the sposie wipe; it gets in the
diaper wash and LINT CITY!
I got pilly lint fluffies all over my pockets and Flats its
FLUFFING RIDICULOUS!
This makes me want to scream! Also they are MAD EXPENSIVE they are like 3
cents each and my baby goes through a pack a week, thats $3.00 a package! My
husband gladly buys them but I feel guilty for using them, THey are sneering at
me from the wash My pretty baby cloths sit idel and unused in the box by the
changer and I am at a loss
Torn between hating cloth wipes to wash baby and hating
spoise ones for everything else!
I will update yall if I kick the pop up habitl
I'm with you girl! I made cloth wipes but I'm still using my Kirkland signature wipes from Costco! I LOVE them! LOL. Oddly enough I do use my wipes for cleaning and such but on the bum? Umm nope!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely hate disposable wipes and love my cloth wipes! I keep mine premoistened and they don't get icky. I can use one cloth wipe over 5-6 disposable wipes. And I definitely think they are softer! Maybe it's the fabric you are using. Look into Thirsties wipes...so soft!
ReplyDeleteJenny, I am sure I will "graduate" to cloth wipes when Ray gets a little bigger, I am going to try baby kicks wipes I also might try really really wetting a stack in a container rather than doing one at a time. Baby washcloths deff are too ruff for my new baby's booty for now at least!
