zero waste swap: wipes

Babies are messy. Really messy. And they use a lot of wipes. When you use a wipe for each and every spill, they add up. So if you’re looking for a way to reduce waste with a baby, you can use cloth wipes.

why to use cloth wipes

• Cloth wipes reduce waste; they can be washed and reused over and over.

• They’re better for sensitive skin. Traditional wipes have harmful chemicals including plastic and formaldehyde; cloth wipes are much healthier.

cloth wipes for diaper changes

• Cloth wipes are an easy switch during diaper changes. They’re way more effective than traditional wipes.

• You can put them in a wipe warmer with your own solution; you can also keep them in your restroom and grab one before each diaper change.

cloth wipes for messes

• When your baby make a mess or spills on his or her face, you can use a cloth wipe instead.

• You can keep them in a basket or container with a spray bottle of wipe solution.

cloth wipes on the go

• Cloth wipes can be used for diaper changes or to clean up spills or wipe off your baby.

• If you take them out, you’ll need a wet / dry bag.

Hi! I'm Gigi; I'm a postpartum doula, mother to three toddlers, including twins, and a wife to my high school sweetheart. I’m a #swiftie who loves cheesy novels.

As a former teacher, I bring realistic, evidence-based, and actionable advice (and LOTS of handouts.) I help families get all the tools they need to prepare, so once baby arrives, they can focus on resting and bonding instead of researching or stressing. I’m here to streamline the newborn learning curve and help birth parents, partners, and other family members. There isn’t ONE way to have and raise a little human. I’m here to guide parents to find THEIR way so that they can thrive in the fourth trimester and beyond.
