Hospitals use Medline Ultrasoft Dry baby wipes and antiseptic baby wipes.

The type of baby wipes that is the best are WaterWipes original baby wipes that contain nor harsh chemicals.

Other best baby wipes are Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Diaper Wipes, Pampers Sensitive Baby Diaper Wipes, Pampers Aqua Pure Sensitive Water Baby Diaper Wipes and the Honest Company Baby Wipes.

Baby wipes are so effective because they contain a type of soap and also the fibers are interlaced to make for a stretchy, soft and cushion like wipe which is gentle on the skin.

The flexibility of the baby wipes also helps you clean every crease and curve of your child's bottom.

Baby wipes are made for delicate, sensitive skin, so they don't have those harmful and irritating chemicals.

They're also antimicrobial and disinfectant, so they're perfect for cleaning up around the house

Cotton pads such as baby cotton pads or a wet washcloth are better than baby wipes and they are natural and gentler than baby wipes.

Water wipes are also good for baby's who get rashes from other baby wipes.

It is okay to use baby wipes all the time as the baby wipes will wipe pee off the baby as well which can cause rash.

However after you use a baby wipe on your baby or toddler it's best to dry them off or allow a minute of air time before placing the new diaper on your child if possible.

The difference between wet wipes and baby wipes is in how they are formulated and the ingredients.

Baby wipes have moisturizing ingredients that are safe for a baby and child's skin and wet wipes often also have antibacterial properties and ingredients so they can be used to clean surfaces and reduce the spread of germs.

You can use diaper wipes or baby wipes on your baby's hands.

Diaper wipes are not just for cleaning a babies bottom and you can use diaper wipes or baby wipes for wiping the baby's face, hands, legs, stomach, body and even your own hands etc.

Your baby's hands can smell due to dirt, drool, lint, bacteria etc that get onto the babies hands.

Your baby might also put their hand down their diaper and cause bacteria to get onto the hands or even traces of poop that you don't see.

Babies hands get so dirty due to clothes lint, dirt, drool, sticking their fingers and hands in their mouths as well as normal skin secretions.

You should wash your baby's hands as often as you wash yours such as before eating, after changing diapers, after playing etc.

However you can use wipes to wipe your baby's hands in between hand washing.

You should not stop washing your baby's hands.

Baby's hands always need to be washed but sometimes you can just wipe the hands down with some baby wipes or a wash cloth when they get dirty.

Babies need their hands washed as often as adults and children.

As a general rule you should wash a baby's hands before they should touch something that should stay clean such as food or another baby, and after they have touched anything that might have contaminated their hands.
