sensitive wipes

My daughter is 5 weeks old and so far we are only using water, cotton wool and washable wipes. At home I will continue to only use the washable wipes but we will be travelling home for Christmas and it will be much more convenient to have disposable wipes. Obviously there are several brands with sensitive ones but which ones are really good?

I swear by the Huggies 'Pure' wipes.

Nice and thick. No perfume.

I never liked huggies wipes - always put my finger through them - and tended to use pampers sensitive. I then moved on to using supermarket own sensitive wipes e.g. tesco, asda as well as Boots own make. They were all fine

Huggies, Pampers, tesco, Asda etc all have horrible chemical nasties in them that dry out baby's skin - look at the ingredients list. We just used cotton and then washable wipes(basically like a face cloth). If you do want to use disposable wipes go for a totally natural one like Jackson Reese - no chemicals at all and you can get them in Sainsburys.

thanks bubbleymummy. I'm only using washable ones too. But for flight and train I think it's just more convenient with disposable ones. So I am going to check those Jackson Reese ones.

You can put water, olive oil and a smidge of whatever baby wash you want in a small spray bottle spray on baby wipe off with dry reusable wipe - very easy. or if as precious as I was carry flask of warm water and olive oil round with you. Use anything going now TBH.
