What does everyone use for cloth wipes? Do you buy certain brands or cut up material?
We use face washers/flannels. Pick them up from the op shop, cheap shops, i was given heaps yrs before having kids from my grandma.
I use them ti wipe DD hands and face after food as well, clean ones of course but all go into the nappy bucket and washed together

I use flannelet that i picked up cheap from Spotlight. Just cut to size and then overloaked the edge. They are working great but need to make a few more before bub 3 arrives.

Today is my third day using cloth wipes:yes:
I use the little baby flannels that you can buy at Big W, I have an empty 500ml johnstons baby wash bottle that I fill with cooled camomile tea and pump it out onto the cloth to wet it. It works well and the camomile is meant to help prevent nappy rash:)
i use a mixture of Baby Beehinds wipes, ones made by Bekkyboo, and face washers....
we have an old huggies wipes container filled with water - although i want to try adding chammomile to it as well when Chloe is teething - however ever since chloe has been in cloth we havent had any nappy rash yayyyy

I use cheap baby face washers and I've cut up a whole heap of fleece to use as well. I make up a wipes solution and put it in a spray bottle. Squirt it on the face washers as fleece as I need them.
If you have old fleece baby blankets that are no longer in use, you can cut them up into desired sizes to use.

I just ordered some gorgeous sherpa monkey doodlez wipes which come in cute colours. Obviously cheaper if I made my own, but I couldn't resist these ones to get me started on cloth wipes! :o

I like the pump bottle idea! That is excellent, I will be using that one thanks :) I use the same little wipes as well as normal terry face washers. The little ones where especially good when DD was a newborn/baby. Nice and grippy but not too rough and nice and thin to get in all those baby creases.
