We use the cloth wipes to clean the bowl. We've moved our diaper pail to right outside the bathroom. But you're right, we don't use as many as when we were exclusively CDing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603515 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:39:31 +0000 Weagle 603515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought some from GMD and a few from Zulily. I think about 40 total. More than enough. Receiving blankets would work just as well. We mainly use plain water, but have some Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion on hand for particularly sticky situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603339 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:06:36 +0000 immabeetoo 603339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use water &amp; made my own with flannel/terrycloth &amp; flannel/nubby fleece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603323 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:04:37 +0000 pelikila 603323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: The only time we had to work at it was when DS had the gritty poop from teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603298 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:00:54 +0000 birdofafeather 603298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a combo of BG ones, flannel leftovers, and Birdseye organic cotton. We have around 50? We use California baby bum spray diluted 10:1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603136 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:39:35 +0000 Freckles 603136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: i second the thirsties wipes. So good! </p> <p>However, they arent as good getting into the crevices when there is poop. Cut up blankets may be better.</p> <p>We use water, and when we are out i use the bum genius bum spray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603097 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:34:15 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 603097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I just thought of another question. Assuming diaper laundry gets done every two to three days, how many wipes do you think I'll need? (This is primarily for one semi-newborn; our two-year-old is now in disposables until he potty trains, so I won't be using them as much with him.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603072 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:31:23 +0000 mediagirl 603072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was newborn, we used receiving blankets cut up (not sewed) and water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603063 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:30:11 +0000 pelikila 603063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought Thirsties Fab Wipes and loved them. We used them with plain water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603030 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:25:56 +0000 autumnlove 603030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a ton from Green Mountain diapers. We just use water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-603001 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:20:29 +0000 allison 603001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a ton of these: <a href="http://www.thanksmama.com/OsoCozy_Flannel_Wipes_Pack_of_15_p/bbt-011.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.thanksmama.com/OsoCozy_Flannel_Wipes_Pack_of_15_p/bbt-011.htm</a></p> <p>We use a spray bottle with water + a little Dr. Bronner's Baby-Mild soap mixed in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-602985 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:18:51 +0000 prettylizy 602985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just cut up some receiving blankets and keep a bottle of water on her change table. I didn't sew them or anything so they fray a little, but honestly, they're wiping poop so I don't care! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-602979 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:17:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 602979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut up old receiving blankets and sewed them together. </p> <p>I also received some grovia cloth wipes and they were amazing!!! Super soft and absorbent.</p> <p>Our solution was a little baby soap, water and essential oils. I mixed it up, lemon, tea tree, eucalyptus or lavender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-602970 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:16:07 +0000 mrsmate 602970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used cloth wipes but bought them, mostly from BRB and IKEA. Just water in a spray bottle. We always sprayed the wipe, not the diaper area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-602926 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:11:09 +0000 anbanan15 602926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use them. Just water. I had a wipes solution but LO had issues with it and with all the allergy ring rashes we were having from food our doctors recommended just water. </p> <p>We use Thirsties Fab wipes and GoodMama wipes (100% loop terry not the designer ones). We had some Kissiluv flannel wipes and I intended to make some from flannel receiving blankets, but I hate the way flannel gets pilly after a few washes so we sold them (wouldn't want that on the bum). I think OBV and CV is just awesome for a wipe! Grippy yet thin enough and one wipe is all you need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes#post-602883 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:04:25 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 602883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do any of you use cloth wipes? Did you buy them or use your own fabric? </p> <p>I'm going to cut up some old receiving blankets (the small useless ones) and try it out. Any tips? What did you use for solution? (Water, dissolvable wipes solution, your own recipe?) </p>
