How dyou wash/clean your baby's face?!

[moomin35]

With a wipe or cotton wool and water or something else?

Cotton wool and water, flannel, wetwipe. Whatever's to hand really.

Cotton wool and some water

Was going to say I pin him down and do it quickly, but I think your baby is younger, in which case flannel and water normally, wet wipes if I'm mid nappy change.

Washable face wipe

With a wipe or flannel

Wipe after meals. Muslin after milk or non food related. Sponge and water in the bath.

DS1, cooled boiled water and cotton wool
ds2, water and muslin/ sponge
ds3, a quick flannel round
if I had a 4th they might just get a spit and polish.

Wire brush and Dettol.

Water or wipes.

Warm flannel. She hates wet wipes and screams her head off.

Cooled boiled water and cotton wool until she was about 9 months old, then I relaxed a little bit and moved onto sensitive wet wipes. PFB, obviously

Is washable face wipe a new name for flannel??

Hemlock - erm no. We have washable wipes ie for nappies, but also use on face now no nappies. A flannel is thick and for in the bath for an all over wash.

Ahh modern invention... I'm easily confused!! X

I don't think a washable wipe is a modern invention... What do you think people used before erm disposable ones?

Whatever I have handy. Wipes, bib, muslin. In the bath i lather up some bath stuff and rub their faces like I'd do my hands.

I use washable wipes too. DD1 had sensitive skin as a newborn and I spent a lot of time cursing the uselessness of cotton wool for wiping bums. Only discovered washable wipes when DD1 was much older. One of the things I bought for DD2s arrival was a set of washable wipes. (I got them from cheeky wipes). I have a set of white cotton ones for bums, and another red microfiber ones for face. I use them on both DDs. (Obviously only the face one on DD1 as she is 3.5yo).

And this is from someone using disposable nappies.

Ds1 toddler- flannel or baby wipe. Cotton wool if I have it out (if he has nappy rash)
Ds2 baby - cotton wool and water.

Cotton wool and water. Not cooled boiled, straight from the tap. After all, she has baths and could go swimming at this age (12 weeks).

Microfibre cheeky wipes for hands and face.
