Greetings Mommies!

My 2.5 year old son has ubber sensitive skin. What wipes do you use on kiddos with super sensitive skin? In the past, we've just used washcloths or purchased very expensive wipes from a medical supply company...but, all his docs say he needs something more to clean the area.

Thanks!

Deanna

So What Happened?

Thanks to everyone who responded...it was a pretty good mix of thoughts. My son has bootie ezcema, which I guess it pretty rare, so finding the right wipe has been tough. I've tried a ton of stuff (huggies, pampers and others), but I think after doing a ton of research we're going to have to go with a wash and the wipe from Seventh Generation.

You guys are awesome!

My son has somewhat sensitive skin. We use Super Sensitive Body Wash from California Kids and Seventh Generation wipes and diapers. He has not had any rashes using any of these products. If you try them and they work, you can do a subscribe and save program through Amazon.com. This has helped us save lots of money and shipping is usually free. I also stay away from lavendar in any of the products because my son would have reactions to bath and body products with lavendar in it. I also used Vaseline to protect his skin from any moisture that occurs when he's in the diaper (of course the one without fragrance).

Dear Deanna,

I'm not sure that this will help you, but its worth a try. My husband has SUPER sensitive skin, so I have been careful with our little girl. At the hospital they gave us these great gauze wipes to wet for wiping. We used them, and then used the dry ones to wick away any moisture before applying organic diaper rash cream.

Once we got home, we ran out of the gauze pads and found a great and inexpensive substitute. We take Viva paper towels and just break off the small segments and cut them in half. This results in a giant stack of paper squares that we use to dry her little bum.

The wipes we use are the Pampers Sensitive skin and thus far we had only one rash incident (from a rubbing diaper.)

Moisture is the worst enemy for diaper rash, so perhaps this may reduce it for you. Good luck!

My youngest has supper sensitive skin!! I have tried several baby brands and the one that works the best is HUGGIES for sensitive skin. I have tried the pampers and a few others but they all gave him a rash ~ the worst ones for him are the Kirkland brand from Costco, but the other two kids used them fine =} Also the diaper itself might be causing some issues too, again we can only use the Huggies on this baby! Good luck to you and be blessed.

I've used the Pampers Sensitive skin too. And it was fine.

You might also want to try diaper area "wash" items. Like this California Baby one:

Or these:
http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/baby/baby-gentle-cleansing-...

http://www.drugstore.com/qxp71651_333181_sespider/mustela...

http://www.mustelausa.com/diaper_change.html

http://www.kiehls.com/_us/_en/baby/baby-gentle-cleansing-...

these are "washes" (some you don't have to rinse off. And these are good brands). or use it along with a soft paper towel to then wipe him dry after.

Good luck, these might be options to try, versus they typical diaper wipe type products. Or do a search on "diaper area washes" or "diaper area rinse-free washes" etc.

All the best,
Susan
