Handling a baby involves taking care of his hygiene as well. Just diapering your baby will not be adequate. With each diaper-change, your baby’s skin could be left vulnerable to rashes and dryness, and if not cleaned well, it could put the child at the risk of bacterial infections.

Moreover, if you have to be on the go constantly, then cleaning your baby might not be possible all the time. Baby wipes come handy when you cannot clean him in other ways or while you are traveling. Here we bring you more about using baby wipes, how often they are used and how safe they are for your child.

What Are Baby Wipes:

They are wet wipes meant exclusively for your baby’s sensitive skin. Baby wipes contain solutions that could either be cleansing reagents or alcohol-based formulations. They are usually packaged with a dispensing mechanism so as to keep them as sterile as possible.

The concept of baby wipes arose sometime around mid-20th century when more people were travelling with babies. They needed something that would make frequent cleaning of babies easier. Since then, several baby wipes, catering to the needs of various economic strata, hit the market. Some companies even launched washable baby wipes. However, wet wipes for babies were found to be having an edge over others as they can keep babies’ skin hydrated.

Why Does Your Baby Need Wipes:

Frequent cleaning with cotton or cloth can not only get messy but could also make your baby susceptible to rashes, dryness, and irritation. Your baby needs to be cleaned gently, so that the natural moisture is retained. Most importantly, your baby must feel comfortable at all times.
