    As an aside, tesco baby wipes were brilliant when my little angel decided to draw all over daddy's speakers with red wax crayon...

    oh and the cord clamp is there the shut out the chance on infection BTW. Up here they no longer cut off the clamp on day 2 just leave it to fall off with the stump..

    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 stage :D

    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.

    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.
  • I think most people throw baby wipes in the bin with the nappy bag, don't they?

    I would hope so but it only takes one.
