Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for WaterWipes. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
As a mom, my job of always wanting to find the best for my little ones never ends. With Dylan when he was small, we suffered from diaper rash incidents and I just remember how red, irritated, and uncomfortable he was — it was just heartbreaking to see my little baby like that! When I was pregnant with Kennedy, I did a bit of research before she arrived to see what we could do to prevent diaper rash from happening again. And so far, what we’ve been doing has been working! Read on for my tips and as well as a product we’ve switched to using that has made a huge difference in our diapering situation!
- Change diapers often. I always have a spare diaper with me wherever I am and make an effort never to go longer than 2.5 hours without changing Kennedy’s diaper. Kennedy doesn’t always fuss when her diaper is dirty, so I usually need to be mindful of how long it’s been since her last diaper change. But, the problem with constantly changing diapers is that I’m also constantly rubbing my baby’s sensitive skin with wipes — that led me to find a better wipe solution (see #2)!
- Use chemical-free wipes. I strive to live as naturally as possible and look to use products that are organic and pure. One of my biggest complaints with our previous wipes was that it was laden with preservatives and other ingredients that I couldn’t pronounce, even though it was labeled as “free and clear”! I stumbled upon WaterWipes and fell in love with the fact that it only contains 2 ingredients — 99.9% pure Irish water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract. For an area of skin that I was cleaning so frequently, I am now much happier using a wipe that is truly as pure as cleaning with cotton wool and cooled boiled water, just in a convenient wipe form!
- Let baby’s bottom air out for a few minutes each day. Whenever I have a few spare minutes post-diaper change, I’ll hold off on putting a new diaper on Kennedy and let her do a little tummy time on a towel with a bare bottom. It’s nice to get a bit of fresh air on her and sometimes I’ll also add in a little leg massage too to help her become more aware of the lower half of her body. Fortunately pee accidents with a girl aren’t very dramatic, but be careful if you have a boy!
WaterWipes are now easily available at Babies ‘R’ Us locations across the county and are even on special promotion right now — buy 2 packs for $6 (usually $3.99 each)!
I am also excited to announce that WaterWipes is offering one of my readers a $100 Babies ‘R’ Us gift card just by taking one of the actions to become a part of the WaterWipes community:

Augh! I want those chandler sandals so so badly! I wasn't going to get them but I am in love! I've never spent that much money on a pair of shoes, nevermind, sandals! I really shouldn't get them….I blame you Kileen, because I saw them on you first! And, I also am thinking that sonce I recently got a promotion at work to supervisor, but it's only $1 more an hour so it's really not a huge cause for celebration…..I was thinking that if my checks big enough to get them this Friday and if they're still on sale, I may get them……they're so so so gorgeous!! I might not be able to get them this Friday so we will see…..I'm only going to get them on sale!
