One of my purchases
from the Baby Show last October were some baby wipes called WaterWipes.
Suitable from
birth, all you’ll find in these wipes is 99.9% purified water and Citrus Grandis
seed extract, aka grapefruit seed extract.
I wasn’t THAT
impressed, I mean, how excited can you really get about baby wipes, but that
was until I was shown the list of ingredients included in all other wipes, even
sensitive ones.
Chemicals
such as;
Parabens: chemically manufactured preservative
Lanolin: grease from animal fur
Phtalates; Chemicals used to make
plastics more flexible and harder to break
Benzoates: Chemically made preservatives
Tricolsan:
A cancer causing antimicrobial agent
Alcohol
Perfume/Fragrance
And
many, many more chemicals.
Given that you are recommended to use
only cooled boiled water and cotton wool to cleanse your newborn baby’s skin, I
was horrified to find out that baby wipes, something you would use on your baby’s
skin with every nappy change, contain such horrible chemicals and irritants!
I wouldn’t want these chemicals on my
skin, let alone my delicate newborns!
Needless to say I ordered a huge batch
there and then, and I haven’t looked back.
I’ve used WaterWipes on Franky from day 1 and he’s never
had so much as a hint of pink on his bum. No soreness or irritation, nothing.
In fact, they’re so good, maternity wards and Neonatal Intensive Care Units in
the UK and Ireland have started using WaterWipes and recommending them to
parents!
You don’t get a much better endorsement
than that!
The natural baby wipes are scentless,gentle and
soft to touch and I would recommend these to every new mum.
They work just as well and are just as
effective as other leading brand wipes but without all the horrible chemicals.
Using these multi award winning wipes is a no brainer as far as I’m
concerned!
You can buy WaterWipes from Boots or
Amazon and cost approximately £2.49 for a pack of 60.
