A. is using diaper is bad ?
NiyatiMom of a 8 yr 10 m old girl7 years ago
A. Ordinary baby wipes has a lot of chemicals, better if you may use Cotton water or water based wipes such as Mother Sparsh. No doubt that water is the safest element, so cleaning with water or water based wipes is best.
SnehaMom of a 8 yr 8 m old boy7 years ago
A. use mother sparsh water wipes. These are substitute for wet cotton
NiyatiFather of a 8 yr 10 m old girl8 years ago
A. My wife and I use Mother Sparsh 98% water wipes for our newborn daughter. We choose to cloth diaper so the 98% water in these wipes are the perfect partner.
AnuMom of a 8 yr 5 m old girl8 years ago
A. I have used mother Sparsh water wipes for baby and my baby never got any rashes. You can try it once as they are very good.
priyanka AgrawalMom of a 8 yr 10 m old girl8 years ago
A. wipes or no wipes depends on two things.. ur climate and availability of hot water.. if the climate is hot.. using water is best.. but not many times as baby will catch cold if climate is humid or cold use wipes more... so mix the use of both as per comfort of baby
Madhuri singhMom of a 8 yr 7 m old girl8 years ago
A. first clean baby's butt with wipes then wash with water and baby wash or baby soap after poop.. because after cleaning with wipes also left some residues which can cause rashes
ArchanaMom of a 8 yr 8 m old girl8 years ago
A. Have small cotton clothes. Wet it and use for poty. Then clean that cloth with lifeboy soap and let it be sun dried. Use again when dried
AnuMom of a 8 yr 5 m old girl8 years ago
A. no doubt wipes is loaded wid chemicals....using cotton and water is best for baby cleansing and water is surely 100% safest element for baby cleansing. From last 6 months , i am using Mother Sparsh 98% water wipes....d problem of redness is reduced to 90%. BEST PART ABOUT MOTHER SPARSH WIPES IS.....ITS TOTALLY WATER BASED WIPES. using cotton and water or Mother Sparsh wipes both r equally gud. other brands contain chemically formulated lotion and right from birth it is not advise to expose baby soft skin to such chemicals
AadivtaMom of a 8 yr 5 m old girl8 years ago
A. There is no harmful effects of using wipes for your baby for cleaning their butts. I am also using wet wipes of Mother Sparsh brand as it is 100% ayurvedic and paraben free. It is enriched with Vitamin E and no alcohol content in it.
hetalMom of a 10 yr 2 m old girl8 years ago
A. Use wipes when you are outside.. and it's suggested to use water based wipes..you can use mother sparsh water wipes..and at home, use wet cotton..
AKSHITA JAINMom of a 9 yr 1 m old boy8 years ago
A. since your daughter is too young , try to use cooled boiled water mix with a drop of Dettol antiseptic liquid to clean her private areas Everytime u change her diaper also do apply coconut oil all over here's diaper area Everytime as right now her son is very tender and soft and if she gets rashes she won't be able to tell her problem and would cry uncontrollably

Rupesh KunchamFather of a 10 yr 9 m old girl8 years ago
A. Try using these two methods: 1. Use baby diaper rash powder instead of creams. 2. Let your child have enough air and give gaps between changing diapers. Use DERMADEW lotion.
sushma vuppalaMom of a 8 yr 5 m old girl8 years ago
A. pls use water to clean when there s availability of water. use wipes nly in case of emergency . yeah.. natural ways r anyday better n chemicals r chemicals.. :)
NehaMom of a 9 yr 7 m old boy8 years ago
A. wipes r safe n soft but not as soft as baby's skin when we wipe their skin with it, it causes rash coz baby's skin is very tender n very thin so pls avoid them as much as possible at least when u r at home. once or twice a week is still fine but not everyday.. have a healthy n happy baby!!
MariaMom of a 8 yr 10 m old girl8 years ago
A. I have used wet wipes for my baby since birth. I use Mothercare wet wipes. Fortunately she has never developed rashes due to it. At times I also wash her under running tap to clean her bum, but I avoid that since she poops 3-5 times a day and making her wet under water again and again fears me of her catching a cold.
LYNNMom of 2 children8 years ago
A. Nothing wrong in using baby wipes. I used wipes while traveling as well as at home since its more convenient. once my kid was big Enuf to be taken and washed I started with water. Try n use water based wipes instead of d scented and chemical based ones.
nadiaMom of a 11 yr 7 m old girl8 years ago
A. I am a mother of 3 year old, I advise u pls avoid wipes as much as u can. If not travelling or ur home pls wash with water. Wipes do causes rashes no matter how best the brand is.
AyeshaMom of 3 children8 years ago
A. Some wipes can cause rashes as I have experienced with my baby. It's better to wash with water and let it dry for a while. Restrict usage of wipes to only while out.
HeenaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy8 years ago
A. Yes wipes are safe.. somewhere elders are also right for their recommendation to use water to clean baby.. you should use water based wipes..instead of lotion based wipes... Try mother sparsh water wipes..these wipes are really very good and so highly recommended
Ramya SureshMom of a 8 yr 9 m old boy8 years ago
A. Wipes r convenient but not sure whether it's safe... Just like diapers it's better to restrict the usage... Anyway they have chemicals in it.
SurpreetMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy8 years ago
A. wipes are best left for usage outside. you don't wanna introduce any unnecessary chemicals to your baby's body. my baby had rashes with wipes and then again with cotton best is to use nice warm running water, like we do . and then pat dry and let the area get some air . your baby will thank-you
Jyoti ChawlaMom of a 8 yr 6 m old girl8 years ago
A. wash ur baby potty area in running water use wipes only when u go out...m also doing same..!!
GeetMom of a 13 yr 7 m old boy8 years ago
A. Yes please stop wipes. As your baby is still 5m old so you can use wet cotton clothes
NikithaMom of a 10 yr 10 m old child8 years ago
A. Hello... In earlier days they had no option of using wet wipes and they were using some older methods or water... But now we have an option of using wet wipes and it's not harmful.. It's comfortable and safe for baby too.. So no harm using wet wipes... You can use any long you want
