I'd make sure it wasn't cold from the tap when refilling and it just sat out all day and she didn't seem to mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thermos-for-wipes#post-2014526 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:43:26 +0000 macintosh 2014526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with this specifically, but could you use an electric kettle? You'd have to make sure it's not too hot, though, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thermos-for-wipes#post-2014525 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:39:41 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2014525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a suggestion for a thermos to use for warm water, for dispensing onto cloth wipes? I want to use warm wipes for my newborn but I don't think I really need a wipe warmer, since eventually I'll just use a spray bottle of room temp water or solution (probably). Plus the wipe warmers I've found online all have very mixed reviews. I am getting tired of going to the bathroom before each change and waiting for the sink water to warm up. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-cloth-wipe-set-up#post-539779 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:22:09 +0000 bunnylove08 539779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a peri bottle and put some warm water and hospital wash cloths, i cut them in half to get more out of it and put them in an old Kleenex box so they come out like tissue </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-cloth-wipe-set-up#post-539750 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:18:08 +0000 Mrsbells 539750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried the california diaper area spray and the jury is still out on that. I use disposable wipes but also use cloth too.

We would refill as needed (usually day or day or so). We just used plan water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-cloth-wipe-set-up#post-539200 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:22:50 +0000 lolabee 539200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Oooh I like the idea of lavender oil!</p> <p>@MusicaV: I thought this would probably be easiest solution but I can just picture my clumsy self spilling it everywhere!</p> <p>@HabesBabe: That sounds like a great combo, loving coconut oil these days. What kind of wash do you use? How many cloth wipes will the Prince Lionheart hold?</p> <p>@Kemma: Do you bring a small container of the same in your diaper bag?

Prince Lionheart warmer, and the wipes are in a 2c water, 2 tblsp coconut oil, and 2 tblsp baby wash solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-cloth-wipe-set-up#post-538019 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:41:30 +0000 MusicaV 538019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a stack of dry wipes and a bowl of water.

I had bought some CJ's Plus Spritz (really liked it) and then when it ran out I just cleaned the bottle and now fill it will just water. Sometime I'll add a drop of Lavender oil of TTO, but usually it's just water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-cloth-wipe-set-up#post-537980 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:01:45 +0000 lolabee 537980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious about the different systems everyone uses with their cloth wipes? I've read some pre soak, some spray the babes bum and wipe etc. What works best for you? If you use a certain "spray" or solution other than water what do you recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-292316 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:21:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 292316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have ragababe cloth wipes (36 of them) and I make a solution with Dr brommers, aloe, almond oil and water. I just squirt it on the wipe and its worked for us so far. I use disposable wipes/diapers when we go away for the weekend or for long car rides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-292249 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:44:22 +0000 Tidybee 292249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this may be the stupidest question ever, but do you just wash cloth wipes together with the diapers? or do they require different treatment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-292194 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:16:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 292194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have about 25 cloth wipes and I'd be happy to have more! lol 15 are Osocozy flannel (they were cheap on Amazon) and then I have 10 that my sister made me from some extra receiving blankets I had. </p> <p>I've used the California Baby Bum spray but I had to quit using b/c it broke DD's bottom out &amp; CJ's Butter Plus Spritz. I now make my own wipe solution that I store in the empty CJ's Butter Plus Spritz bottle. I've been playing around with some different solutions... right now I have one that has:</p> <p>1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (I'm out of Coconut oil)<br /> 1 tablespoon EVO<br /> 1 tablespoon Dr Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap (mine has tea tree oil in it so I didn't add any more)<br /> 2 drops tea tree oil (omitted since my Dr. Bronner's already had it)<br /> 1 drop lavender oil<br /> 1 cup water<br /> (the Sesame oil has a really strong smell so next time I'll use a bit less)</p> <p>After using the CJ's plus spritz I really liked all the different oils it used b/c it really kept DD's bottom soft which she's prone to getting chapped &amp; rashes so I wanted my solution to have that same "oily-ness" to it, and the tea tree &amp; lavender help keep yeast away (the CJ's spritz had neem oil). Plain water seems to not wipe as smoothly IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-292123 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:38:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 292123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-291948 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:57:01 +0000 glimmersnaps 291948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use baby washcloths as wipes. We had received several packs as gifts and they are way cheaper than most cloth wipes. I have a small spray bottle with water and use that for cleaning. </p> <p>How many you need depends on how big they are (if they are small you many need multiple for a big mess) and if you will wipe with every diaper change. Also consider how many times per week you will wash and the number of poops per day you baby typically has. I guess we could write a formula to figure it out, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-291464 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:03:35 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 291464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use cloth wipes (half flannel and half baby washclothes) with a spray bottle with water. I'm not sure how many I have, actually...at least 20?</p> <p>If you use disposable wipes with cloth diapers you have to have a garbage for them. The cloth wipes are less work, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-291431 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 22:17:38 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 291431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until the past couple of months we used cloth wipes. We just had flannel fabric cut/hemmed and had a spray bottle with water. We would wet as necessary. We have a lot- maybe 40 or 50 but only ended up using about 20/25 in rotation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-291366 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:20:02 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 291366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>California Baby makes a bum spray that I use when he's particularly dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapering-wipes#post-291365 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:18:39 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 291365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have cloth wipes by a uk company cheey wipes. We have about 80 but 50 is plenty for a week. I keep about a dozen wet at a time with just plain water and clean the container and make fresh ones every other day. Plain water works best for us. </p>
