After about a week of using cloth wipes, I thought I would update as to how it is working.
* I do not like using wash cloths as wipes. They feel too abrasive and they're also quite bulky.
* It is much easier to use wipes that are already wet. I just make up a small tub of about 10 wipes or so, every other day. It doesn't get musty, and it's a lot faster when changing a little squirmy worm.
* In our house, cloth wipes are for Number 1 only. lol
* Flannel will fray, so after you cut your receiving blankets hem them; it's much easier to do when they're still nice and flat from being freshly cut. Also, it's a great way to practice you sewing skills without the end result really mattering. I haven't sewn since my pillow project in middle school home ec, so it was nice to get a refresher.
* Too much olive oil is just slippery and kind of gross. 1 tsp is plenty.
* An added bonus: The wipe solution helps mask other lovely odors hanging out the diaper pail.
We'll still have to purchase some disposable wipes, but for now I am loving using cloth. Try it, maybe you'll like it!
im glad you've decided on number 1 only! hehe
