How many cloth wipes do you all have?
I have 8 all up, just cheap thin best & less face washers... we only use about 1-2 per poo so I am pretty sure this is enough for my daughter...but I was just wondering how many everyone else has :)
I really don't know - I don't have an exact amount. I think I have about 12-15 polarfleece wipes that I made. Plus I use flannels. It's a bit of over kill for us as dd2 only poos every 2-3 days, and even though I use about 2 wipes each time I think i could seriously get away with just having those 2 wipes!!

That is sort of how it is for us too...my DD only poo's once a day usually (except the other day she did 3!!! lol) so I don't need many at all...plus it's toddler poo's (most of the time lol) so only needing 1 or 2 wipes per poo session.

I am going to borrow my mil's overlocker and start making my own!
I have about 12 lil wishes face washers but will wait until she is out of the newborn pooey stage cos I would use them all in one day lol so I am using disposables for now.

I've got more cheap white spotlight facewashers than I can count - but I wash them with my nappies, just once per week.

I have about 20, but we only use half of them, and most of the time we end up using the face washers in the bathroom cause we can't be bothered wandering down to the nappy change table to get a wipe :p
I got a few free packs of Baby Beehind wipes with my pack and they are pretty good really. Pick up poo better than the face washers....:thumbsup:

i go through wipes like they are water! I use a combination of flannels as well as an old blanket I cut up and just today I cut up some chux to use too. I have no idea we have, but its a fair bit and I am forever running out. That said though, I use them at every nappy change, pooey or not as well as hand and face wiping and in the bath every night. I think the wipes fairy lives at our house too - they are always dissapearing.............
We have 30 IKEA white face washers (3 packs of 10) plus a few more flannel/ fleece and bamboo terry wipes that were thrown in with nappy orders. I never get through them all, but I could even use the face washers as boosters in pockets if I really needed to LOL.
I use wipes at every change too, pooey or not, I like to freshen him up. And I use them in the bath, as face wipes after a messy solids meal, or if he vomits, or gets sticky fingers, or to wipe a runny nose, or whatever. I always have a few in my bag, and they turn up everywhere.
I have about 25 fleece/flannel wipes. He only does about 1-2 poos a day now but I use a few every nappy change for a freshen up and a clean face :thumbsup:
Just counted, lol,
12 little 15 x 15cm fleece wipes
12 face washers
4 proper cloth wipes..
Does me with a 4 weeker with washing daily..
HTH
I've gone through heaps of cheapies in the last 11+ years so I only buy good quality face-washers now (have longevity in mind!) - I found that the cheapies can be harsh on baby's soft bums esp. with nappy rash.
I'd have approx. 20 goodies I use now but I only need them all when we have 2 bubs in nappies (every couple of years!).
We have a fair few. I use them for boosting too. I thought we had heaps but I think we need a few more. My faves are the ones I was given from WAHMs but also have different ones I have picked up locally.
About 30 too... one per nappy plus a few extras - I use them all, as I wipe at every change, and her face + hands after a meal etc.
I think I have about 10 and we go thru them VERY quickly since starting solids- going from poo x1 every couple of weeks to poo x3 every day!
I've been thinking of making some out of some of my old terry nappies- they certainly wouldn't be hard to make!- just have to get around to it :rolleyes:
