I don't know what's happening... I'm feeling so granola-y lately.

I know some of you made your own wipes. How do you do it? How do you keep them from being freezing cold when you go to use them?

Cloth or the ones made from paper towels?

I was reading up and it seems like the paper towel ones get moldy after too long. I like the cheap washcloth idea--but would be willing to try the paper towel idea. We use a LOT of wipes. It would have to be something dh could do without a lot of thought... ok without any thought. I mean, I could make them up but it has to be easy access.

When I used cloth wipes, I simply wet them down before I used them. Just plain water! There are wipes recipes you can make up and put into a squeezie bottle, or pour over a days worth of wipes in a disposable wipes container.

There are lots of different fabrics that people use. Its totally personal preference! I like woven terry as it has good gripping power! One cloth wipe would easily do the job that 4-5 disposables ones would do.

You'll want to wash every 2-3 days so they don't get gross and yucky. Just put them in a dry pail with a lid. I like to line my pail with a washable liner as well. If you're going to go through the trouble of washing cloth wipes, then go full on with cloth diapers and even up the load!

I never did make-my-own wipes... but they're a really good idea. And with an infant... you have to do laundry all the time anyways... what's a few more washcloths, right!?!

When my kids had diaper rashes (which they didn't have too often) I used a baby washcloth with warm water instead of wipes 'cause the wipes would STING their little bums.

Using a washcloth was always MUCH faster than using the wipes.
