To save on money and make the world greener, use reusable white cloths to wipe your baby's bottom.
It's easy:
1. Purchase a wipes warmer.
2. Buy lots of white face cloths. (A friend of mine used cut-up J-cloths instead.)
3. Wet them with water.
(You can add a drop of essential oil—like lavendar—to the water, and soak the cloths before going on to the next step.)
4. Wring them out, so they are wet, but not dripping.
5. Put them in the wipes warmer (fold them lengthwise).
6. I put a new garbage bin next to the change table and put the dirty wipes in there. Every few days, I would wash them. The stains always came out (sometimes, I used an eco-friendly stain laundry booster—sort of like OxiClean).
For really messy bottoms, use a disposable wipe first (or two) and then use the face cloths.
