Congratulations! Well done for being up and on the Internet 48 hours later. Most of us are fast asleep covered in baby sick when not feeding or nappy changing at that stage0 -

Personally I topped and tailed with cotton wool and water till Lo was 9mths at least (not boiled though what a faff) just because it was cheaper and I found it no hassle at all. I then moved on to wipes out of neccesity as the wool balls just weren't covering the area well enough but quite often used wipes and water as I often found wipes too dry for my LO's sticky stinky offerings.
I now use flannels as if I do use wipes I have to use at least 5 to avoid getting the stinky all over my hands.:D.MSE PARENT CLUB MEMBER.ds1 nov 1997ds2 nov 2007:jFirst DDFirst DD born in june:beer:.0 -
At work we have flats above and adjacent. Last summer we had terrible trouble with the drains, toilet blockages, awful smells and other unmentionables. The water board came in and traced the problem to the drain being blocked by the girl upstairs flushing her baby wipes, they caused a blockage which meant the sewers backed up and came out into our workplace. Not nice.0
