People have more money than sense!

A friend is having her first baby and was happily showing a few of us her latest purchases. As well as some very sensible and necessary items, she has bought some very sweet vests and clothes. So far so good.

However, the rest of us were a little bemused by the baby wipes warmer. It warms the wipes up so that baby doesn't get a cold bum when they get a nappy change.

My DC are older teens now so maybe things have changed but really?

Just sit on them....but i did use a baby mat on the floor rather than a changing table

I'm all for wet wipe warmer, when mine were babies many moons ago I used cotton wool balls run under warm water, I wouldn't fancy cold wet wipes on my bh meself.

Cherry I remember DM using something like that on my younger siblings when I was a child. This would have been in the early 1980s.

Does this thread remind anyone of hot towels in Indian restaurants? Obviously hot towels are too hot, but the principal must be the same - I wonder how they heat their towels.

I use baby wipes to clean weepy kitten eyes and I bet they would appreciate warm wipes - I aready get them the expensive water wipes as I was worried about anything in normal baby wipes being bad for them.

I started off using cotton wool and water but because I have up to six kittens at a time (I foster) I was getting through loads of cotton wool balls and it was fiddly changing the bowls of water and avoiding cross contamination if one had an eye infection and the other kittens would knock the bowl over. So I started using wipes but I rip them into a few strips to make the packet last longer.

Or "dress, knickers, socks, hair, shoes! " for 9 year olds?

A shusher! Can you get one for teenagers too?

Isn't that a big cork bung?

I want a shusher for everyday life. In fact, I want a shusher emoji on Mumsnet. It could replace the now-ubiquitous biscuit!

My babies would have thanked me for a wipe warmer, just today my 1yr old was screaming COLD COLD as I wiped her bum doing a nappy change. Actually if I'm honest I put a few wipes on the radiator before I use them in winter but now it's summer the radiator isn't on!

How about a gadget that nags put your shoes on

Or every time the kids go to walk out of the door to school in the morning

Are you sure you've got everything you need in your school bag

I've often thought I should record myself shouting "shoes on", "teeth", "we are LATE", to save my voice of a morning.
