Healthy alternatives to traditional wipes

When it comes to keeping your baby clean, consider these healthier alternatives to conventional wipes:

  • Cotton Glove with Soap: Use a soft cotton glove moistened with mild soap and water. This gentle option allows you to effectively clean your baby’s skin without the harsh chemicals found in many commercial wipes.
  • Soapy Water Spray and Cotton Cloth: Create a simple soapy water spray by mixing gentle soap with water. Use this spray with a soft cotton cloth for easy, safe cleaning. This method is not only effective but also environmentally friendly.
  • Unbleached, Unscented, Alcohol-Free Wipes: If you prefer pre-made options, look for wipes that are unbleached, unscented, and alcohol-free. These wipes are less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Avoid harsh chemicals.
