Water wipes are too dry

Has anyone else found Huggies water wipes so dry? I feel awful dragging those wipes across my baby’s bum over and over after a poo, he’s screaming everytime and I can’t help but worry it’s the constant rubbing of these shit wipes!

Has anyone else found this/what wipes do you use?

He may just had nappy changes but I worry it’s the rubbing of these dry wipes, I do use sudocream on the areas we rub a lot

I agree they are awful! Pampers water wipes are brilliant x

I am the complete opposite, I love the Huggies pure wipes! I was a little reluctant as I had heard bad things about them but they really work for us. I have also been using the pampers aqua wipes they are very wet so could be better for you x

I use Asda little angels. No issue - apart from sometimes they all stick together 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😂

Huggies are horrendous!
Pampers are good, water wipes are my fave but the price is not 😅

Yes i absolutely hate Huggies wipes! I used to work in nursery’s and Huggies were the absolute worst! Pampers water wipes are much better xx

See I hate pampers & love Huggies! 😅 funny how we all have different opinions on the same wipes!

I have tried to many different wipes since my LG was born and the best ones I found are pampers (aqua) I use half as much as I would any other kind x

Yes I did any wipes are drying I found water and cotton wool the best for my little girl xxx

I swear by water wipes

Hate them water wipes! Sooooo expensive as well.

We use mama bear ones from Amazon x

We’ve been using Huggies Pure for about 18mths now with no issues. We used boots own brand for a little while and they were great too.

I find Huggies to be dry general. I never use their wipes

I use toilet paper and then bidet baby’s bum after, and then dry with a cotton cloth

I like Pampers Sensitive, Tesco and Aldi wipes

Aldi extra sensitive wipes are great for the price, its 64p for 60wipes , very gentle on the skin and not drying

Pampers aqua wipes are fab

Kinder by Nature wipes are good.

Aldi/Lidl extra-sensitive wipes are great

We use mostly mama bear off Amazon buy 12 or 18 packs at once

We use cloth wipes. I wet them how I want. They are saturated, but not dripping. I only ever need 1 wipe for a massive poop I fold and wipe as many times as I need to as the cloth is thick. Good thing is I buy them once I don’t ever have to think about running out or needing to buy them ever again I just wash and reuse.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

She has 3b brown hair and wants kpop demon hunter purple

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
