DD just turned one and now we just bring her to the sink and wash her face and hands with water too. We used to use a wash cloth on her but she hated it and it never fully cleaned her hands/face. mauxie on "How do you clean up your LO after meals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-up-your-lo-after-meals-1#post-2419185 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 18:30:29 +0000 mauxie 2419185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Now that DS is almost 2, it's not that messy. He just goes to the bathroom sink after and washes his hands and mouth area. We have a few placemats at home that get rinsed/laundered after, too. For restaurants though, we still take baby wipes. I don't know when I'll ever stop carrying baby wipes haha.

Maybe a lil before then. Don't recall exactly. But if he's super messy, I pre-clean up with a wet wipe. youboots on "How do you clean up your LO after meals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-up-your-lo-after-meals-1#post-2418248 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:53:17 +0000 youboots 2418248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have 10 washcloths from Amazon. They go right into the laundry bin after each meal. I do laundry enough that 3 days worth is great. If she's not to messy I just use her bib.

I buy them in bulk and keep a big package on the counter. I don't think I could keep up with millions of wash cloths, and the germ factor would ick me out.

I can use one and it does her hands, face and highchair tray. Now i just need a better presoaking system to get them cleaner!

I'll use one for a day usually then toss it in the wash, unless it's a really messy meal. DH never switches it out and would use the same one forever if I didn't put it in the hamper and get a new one. For messy meals she may also wash her hands at the sink but we don't have a stool in the kitchen, only the bathroom, so it's just less convenient. Plus we have to wash her face anyway. She's 2.5.

We use those for wiping his face and hands after meals. They were also really useful to have on hand during the spit-up days. Just wet them in the sink and wipe him down. They get tossed in with regular laundry after a single use, so no fear of germs growing on them. snowjewelz on "How do you clean up your LO after meals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-up-your-lo-after-meals-1#post-2418218 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:42:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2418218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do wipes/paper towels/warm wash cloth too. I mean, sometimes I really need ALL of them to clean DD up! mrsrain on "How do you clean up your LO after meals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-up-your-lo-after-meals-1#post-2418211 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:39:55 +0000 mrsrain 2418211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter is still ilunder 2, so we use a wet wash-cloth to wipe her down. Sometimes I'll use wipes or paper towels of the mess is really bad or we don't have clean towels, but I feel like I get a better clean with the wash cloth. We have a big stash, and tend to use 1-2 per day, as needed. I don't like to spread germs either!

I use one for a couple of days and then toss it in the laundry. ETA: these are separate from our kitchen washcloths and are only used for cleaning up DD after meals.

It sometimes takes a couple of wipes, if it's an especially messy meal, x3 meals per day! I want to be more conscious of this and try and use a washcloth. I'm weird about germs on things though, but if I switch out daily then it really shouldn't be an issue! How do you clean up your LO after meals? When do kids start going to the sink to wash hands on their own?
