Allergic to wet wipes

My LO has had pretty bad nappy rash. Our health visitor suggested we stop using water wipes because they contain citrus and some babies can be allergic and just go back to cotton wool and water. This has cleared up her nappy rash really quickly but is not practical for out and about. Has anyone had a similar experience and can suggest a baby wipe brand we can use that doesn't have citrus in?

I use the pleated cotton wool with baby lotion on for my baby (following on from my mum who has done the same for over 40 years) and I find it just as easy to take out and about with me! I have a little pouch that goes in my baby bag that I stick a couple of nappies/nappy sacks, some cotton wool and a bottle of lotion in and it’s dead easy to whip out on the go ☺️

it says she was told to stop using water wipes because her baby might be allergic to them

sorry missed that bit. It’s been a long night 🥲 the sainsburys sensitive wipes work well for my boy who’s had issues with other wipes.

My twins have had bad nappy rash recently so I’ve been using cotton pads and water. I just take a little bag full of cotton pads, a small bottle of water and a little tub. Doesn’t take up much more room in the changing bag and doesn’t leak anywhere x

My LG reacted to aldi sensitive wipes initially so we went to pura water wipes for a bit till it cleared up.
We then tried to the aldi extra sensitive which she's fine with and now use Costco wipes or aldi if we've run out.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
