I was thinking of washable wipes as we're going to do washable nappies in any case. Are they also a no-no for newborns?

Their own FAQ's seem to think it's fine but any other thoughts? (Aside from take it easy with the essential oils)

We've got that set, and I'm going to use them from when we get home, although I'm not expecting to start using the washable nappies until 2 weeks or so, will see how we get on and how big Beanie turns out to be!

I would say yes. Just be very careful on oil useage. You only need (aim for 1 drop but if 2 or so go in its ok) Don't put tons of drops in the water. In regards to oils lavender and chamomille are both gentle oils that calm any rashes. The motto with oils are less is best. I was thinking the same. Just grab a bottle of lavender from sainsburies/tescos/holland blah blah and just put a drop in each time in the water. Mix well and then use as normal. The tea tree I would say is aimed at going in with the wipes for the laundry or soaking in until being laundered as this is mildly antiseptic, antifungal, bacterial etc (can't spell this early)

Yep, only the clean oils blend (lavender and chamomile) would be in contact with the baby's skin, the other oil blend is for soaking the dirty wipes.

Hello yummy mummies to be, today I am celebrating 1 month to go to due date! A cool milestone to reach! Baby currently breech though so hopping lil monkey will move into position soon!

Im also planning to buy the cheeky wipes set and will use washable nappies, but not for the first couple of weeks or so just while we are getting into the swing of things. Hospital bag is part packed as well but no baby clothes washed yet.

Heya Poppet!! Same situation here! She is breech will be 36 weeks on Sunday. Are they referring you to the hospital yet? Or just waiting it out? Can't wait to get my poor cervix and anus back!!Being kicked there constant is not nice ...:eek:

Grrrrr, why do people think that it is ok to come up to me and say "you're getting fat now!" No, I am not getting fat, it is a baby, there is a difference.

Starting to make a list of everything that I still need to get - OMG, there is loads! I'm trying very hard not to get carried away and only buy things that we are actually going to need, but it still seems that there is a lot left to do! Been looking at the resuable nappies - thanks for the info on cheeky wipes as well, will be giving those some serious thought too!
