WHAT ARE BABY WIPES?

Baby wipes are disposable, moistened, tissue used for cleansing the skin of babies and toddlers. They are an easy way to wipe a baby’s face when he/she spits up or eats messily. Babies also tend to drool a lot especially when they are teething which can cause skin rashes. This is why using baby wipes to clean off a baby’s face is a convenient way. Baby spit-ups are guaranteed to happen. They easily remove spit-up from the clothes and leave no smell.

WHAT ARE BURP CLOTHS

Burp cloths are used to keep things clean when the baby spits up. However, depending on how you feed and burp your baby, there are different ways to use them. You can place them over your shoulder or right below their chin.

Burping the baby by placing them over the shoulder is the most common way to burp a baby, especially in the first few months. However, this method tends to get messy and washing them can be an issue especially if you can’t invest so much time. Plus, using the same burp cloth multiple times eventually disturbs the skin pores present on the baby’s face and can irritate the baby’s skin.

Why Use Baby Wipes Instead Of Burp Cloths

When it comes to spitting up, babies do it anywhere. They can spit up on the couch, the carpet or those beautiful baby blankets. That’s where either a burp cloth or baby wipes come in handy. Baby wipes are more convenient and hygienic than burp cloths. Cloth napkins or burp cloths are not disposable and need to be washed after use. This can cause a risk of skin infections due to the repeated use of a single cloth, multiple times. Burp cloths also tend to become rough after repeated use and are not good for a baby’s tender skin.
