Diaper changes

How are you guys “cleaning” your babies? Are you wiping the poop away throughout the day? Are you using washcloths to wipe? Personally I bring them into the washroom sink and wash them with soap for every diaper change and now i’m curious if I’m exposing them to too much soap. Crazy me going down a rabbit hole of tiktoks… One of the tiktoks said her baby girl had gotten uti from potty training along with bubble baths because of the pH levels in the soap. And I’m changing diapers washing my babies with soap 7-8 times a day But how else do ppl clean babies???

When I used disposable diapers I used diaper wipes, when I used cloth diapers I used cloth wipes that got washed with the diapers. I only gave my baby a bath with a diaper change if the diaper leaked and poop got everywhere.

@Kalindi thank you!

I don't use soap every time I wash just lukewarm water ,once a day i use soap

we use a spray bottle and a cloth. She’s had a diaper rash/yeast infection and wiping too much has irritated it so we spray with warm water and dab so that it heals.

That seems excessive. I use water wipes and then use a cloth with soap when I bath her but only on her bum.

I just use wipes for diaper changes and that's sufficient, and baby soap in the bathtub only.

That's alot of soap. We just use wipes and then give her a bath every 2-3 days where I wash the area with soap to make sure it's all clean.

Wipes for diaper changes and then a couple baths each week for my little one.

Use soap once a day. Water at other times

I use dry wipes that I just wet with water. Soap every 2ish or 3ish days but not directly on sensitive parts.

Soap just once a day during bath for my LO. We either just use wipes for poop if it's dry or wash at the sink with only water if it's like a wet poop. Babies/toddler have very tender skin, too much soap can dry their skin out.

I use wipes and I have a no rinse foaming cleanser if it needs a little extra cleaning. It was sent home with us from the nicu and I liked it so much I started buying it.

I just used baby wipes

Thanks for all your replies! I’m curious how do you keep baby smelling fresh with wipes even when they’ve done a number 2. The smell lingers quite often when I only use wipes

@incognito rinse the wipes with warm water and leave them quite damp after cleaning the area dry with soft towel or paper tissue 🤔 😅 my lo doesn't smell after this method of cleaning her mostly when we're out and about 🤪

Rather than using soap just use plain water and no soap that's what I do
