We don't plug it in though. Maybe in the winter we will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1025024 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:13:59 +0000 mrsjyw 1025024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didnt use a warmer, but we do have an oxo wipe container. and we love it! we bought economy size boxes of wipes that only have a plastic film as the opening and rip easily, so we use it for that in our downstairs changing station :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1025018 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:11:33 +0000 Cherrybee 1025018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: Its not the pee you gotta worry about, its the high velocity poop jets - I got showered in it yesterday morning and it actually hit the opposite wall too! Sometimes when we wipe her bottom it stimulates her to go! We put a nappy over her usually but sometimes I become complacent and that's when she explodes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024749 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:45:53 +0000 Bookish 1024749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: haha I think you'd get more use out of a hazmat suit ;) We did not have any desire for a wipe warmer since LO was born in the summer in Texas! I liked that the wipes cooled her down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024721 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:40:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1024721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we never used one because my nurse cousin said they can harbor bacteria growth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024701 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:35:19 +0000 Rubies 1024701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't NEED it...But I LOVED ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024670 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:27:47 +0000 autumnlove 1024670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our wipe warmers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024657 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:24:20 +0000 Mrsbells 1024657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I never used a wipes warmer. I didnt want to have to worry about carrying that around. I buy wipes in the big multipack box from costco and it comes with a new plastic dispenser box each time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024653 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:23:27 +0000 rachiecakes 1024653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: I didn't register for one because everyone said I wouldn't need one. Our house gets a tad chilly and I had a December baby. Diaper changes were the only time my sweet newborn would cry hysterically. I bought one. $20 to keep my sweetie smiling was well worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024647 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:22:25 +0000 mrskc 1024647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm the minority but I loved our wipe warmer. We had a fall baby and I liked using the warmed wipes on him. I would pour a little water into the container and it kept the wipes moist. We used it for the first 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024633 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:19:16 +0000 ALV91711 1024633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say a wipe warmer isn't needed. We never got one. </p> <p>As for what to do with a boy, just use a washcloth. Then if they do pee it doesn't go everywhere. Now I just hand him the washcloth to play with since he pulls it off anyway. Plus it had been a long time since he has peed without a diaper on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024401 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:24:14 +0000 ElbieKay 1024401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I know, the tent comment was a joke. I really don't know what I am going to do with a boy. My only sibling is a sister!!!</p> <p>@char54: That's what is currently on my registry (which I am slowly refining). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024396 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:22:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 1024396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: we had all sorts of tricks to avoid the pee shower! Our son peed as soon as cold air hit his wee-wee... didn't matter if the wipe was cold or not. At first we would open the diaper (take off the tapes) and dangle a wet wipe to touch him. He'd start to pee and we'd close the diaper again to catch the pee (just put it back over his wee-wee), then once he was done we would go ahead and change him.</p> <p>Pretty soon the wet wipe didn't work anymore and we got hit a couple times, so we started blowing on his wee-wee... and that worked! </p> <p>Peepee teepees are useless unless your baby is the stillest, calmest thing ever! I used to try using an open diaper as a teepee and it would go flying at the first kick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024384 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:19:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1024384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: Def nope on the wipe warmer. Also, the teepees are cute but totally impractical. Just use an extra washcloth or burp rag to keep him covered :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024377 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:18:35 +0000 Charm54 1024377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this exact same question! At first I was totally leaning towards getting one, but now I think I might just get the OXO tot perfect pull dispenser (doesn't warm) and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024348 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:13:34 +0000 ElbieKay 1024348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, this is reinforcing my suspicions.</p> <p>But I didn't know that cold wipes might make them pee! Oh no! And I am having a boy! Maybe I should buy a hazmat suit for changings. Or at least register for a teepee, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024344 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:12:42 +0000 rrachael 1024344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No ... I have one and prefer the dispenser to the more disposable ones ... But we leave it unplugged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024342 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:11:45 +0000 deerylou 1024342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a wipe warmer as an off-registry, shower gift, but we don't use it on the regular. However, I remember the first wipe we warmed, and DD actually gave a little coo, in response. I think she likes it, but tough dice, little one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024339 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:10:43 +0000 looch 1024339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not necessary, but I always wiped my son with warm water when we were at home, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024328 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:08:33 +0000 loveisstrange 1024328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally not necessary and can actually dry your wipes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024327 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:08:18 +0000 lemondrop 1024327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even necessary for us :) We just use one of the plastic ones that comes with 180 wipes and refill with a economy pack of wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024326 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:08:14 +0000 Boheme 1024326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, wipe warmers can promote the growth of bacteria....plus if you have a baby who is used to warm wipes at home, when you go out diaper changes might cause a lot of fussing. Warming them between my hands for two seconds gets the job done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024322 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:08:03 +0000 MamaMoose 1024322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you buy a big pack of wipes it comes with a plastic wipe dispenser. You want to store them in some sort of dispenser so they don't dry out. But a warmer seemed silly to me. My LO never seems to be bothered by her wipes, and the temp doesn't make her pee, so I see no benefit to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-wipe-warmer#post-1024317 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:06:12 +0000 ElbieKay 1024317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be using disposable wipes.</p> <p>Is a wipe dispenser useful, even if the warming is not? </p>
