When changing a nappy......

Wipe for poos.

Wipe for wees only when i feel like it.. lol. I put Gaia cornflour powder on him & most of the time his bum is still dry & powdery anyways. What a waste of powder if i wipe it

This is why I use plain water and a washer - cos some of the commercial wipes/solutions etc are likely to do this.

I didn't wipe for wees. Alia will only accept warm wipes and it was too much bother to warm up a wipe just for wee. That and I'm just slack

I almost always let her run around nappyless for a bit to dry out though.

I haven't changed nappies in a while.. but when I did I never wiped for wees unless it was obviously very wet. Never occured to me really!
