    I'm lucky my baby hasn't got any rash is only 5 months though so pampers sensitive grand for me. Is it 4.99 a pack as that's very dear considering I use a pack every 2/3 days

    Only really good if your baby has VERY sensitive skin. They're very expensive! Neither of my daughters have had a horrible nappy rash before, we've gotten bad but that's because of teething and not because of wipes. Lidl sensitive are great at €1.19 a pack.

    Holy cow! Can I ask what you use that number of wipes on? A pack of wipes lasts us around a week...1 or 2 (maybe 3 if it's really bad) wipes per change, 3-4 changes per day, 64 wipes per pack....that's at least 5 days??

    Just guessing that's why some would feel it alright to pay up to €5/pack for the more natural wipes. :D

    I'd change her everytime she feeds or if I notice she wet or dirty so prob 8/9 times a day use prob 4 wipes if wet and maybe 10 if she's dirty. I prob change her to often but sure no harm in it. She's only 5 months so you prob do it less when they older. First timer so not sure

    I'm a maniac for baby wipes for the whole family :) Go through about 4 packs a week and only 2 are for changing. I wet them and use them for washing hands and faces, cleaning up her high chair etc. I use them for removing my mascara, and other hygiene uses. Tesco sensitive @ €1.19 are the biz. I like the Lidl ones but prefer a packet with a clip on top as they don't dry out.

    huggies pure baby wipes are excellent for sensitive bums and bad nappy rash.
    They are also nice thick sheets so go further,I find the orange pampers ones useless for lasting because the sheets are tiny and I use twice as many.
    We usually wait for special offers and buy them and papmpers sensitive once they hit 1 euro a packet and stock up:)

    The Huggies Pure were on special last Thursday in Tesco, 2 packs for €3.50. I only use sensitive wipes on the girls... no Johnson & Johnson either, don't agree with the girls...

    I also through about 2/3 packs a week... I use them for cleaning hands and faces out and about, bums, my make up, etc wipe freak...

    For everyone here who uses copious amounts of wipes - I just can't resist commenting on this...what is the point of saving a few cents here & there on formula, nappies, etc if you then purchase *loads* of wipes, which you could easily do without? Bulmersgal - there is really no need to use 4 wipes on a wet bottom (air does just fine, or maybe 1 wipe if it's *really* bad), and 10 wipes when dirty...really??? :eek:

    And sure, I realize the handiness of keeping wipes in the car & bag for quick face cleans, etc, but if you're trying to keep an eye on budget and/or bargains, surely a dampened cloth/terry/flannel would be the better (cheaper) option?

    I know we all have different techniques & all, but surely if cutting costs is what this thread is about, the wasteful (& costly!) use of unneccessary products should be addressed?

    I agree....that is an excessive amount of wipes!! I use one wipe for a wet bottom...more to just freshen her up than anything.

    For the bad poops I never use more than 4 usually! I just use them properly. Neer ever used 10!!! The most I used was 7....and that was when she did so much that she pooped all down her legs and right up to her neck!!!

    Phew, thought it was just me who noticed this! I use cotton wool and water and only use the wipes if he's done a major pooh or when I'm out and about. I think I went through more way back when I had a social life and used them for taking make-up off:D

    The Huggies Pure (yellow/cream pack) are also in this offer. They are usually €3.18 a pack so you can buy 3 packs for the price of 1 if you want.

    If you want to save money, there's no need to bother spending a fortune on follow on milk. From a year old, there's nothing that follow on milk provides nutritionally that can't be achieved with ordinary cows milk and a good diet.

    Follow on milk is for 6 months plus, it's growing up milk that's supposed to be for older. I think follow on milk is almost identical to the first stage stuff, it was only brought out to get around EU advertising laws.

    It's not exactly buy 1 get 2 free. They're €1.06 each, they're usually €3.18. But if you pay €1.06 you don't get the two free... or at least that's the way they were advertising it in Finglas Tesco!!!

    ETA: Mothercare in Charlestown (Finglas) Shopping Centre are doing the Sangenic Nappy Wrapper with one free cartridge for €12.99.
