    We use the pampers sensitive skin wipes and lately the wet papertowels aren't cutting it with cleaning their hands after a meal. So I have used the wipes figuring that it was for sensitive skin so it was probably ok, and I just try to keep their hands away from their mouth for a minute so they can dry. My question is, would you use them also to clean their faces? Like I said the papertowels aren't cutting it anymore and they don't really tolerate their faces being cleaned either so I figure I need to do what is most effective and that takes the least amount of time.

    Oh yeah, you can use wipes on their faces. Heck, my kids chew on them. Wipes are non-toxic and pH balanced so you aren't going to hurt them.

    Another thing that works is getting a washcloth wet and wiping them that way. Just make sure you let the washcloths dry before tossing them in with your laundry.

    I've ALWAYS used wipes on their faces.

    Have you seen the Pampers commercial where they show the ages and stages wipes and they use those on the face...

    I even use the wipes to clean Katie's neck after she eats because the formula drips down there.

    I use them all the time. All three of my kids will stick their tongues out when I do, like they are trying to get a taste.

    Yep, I use wipes on the face too, especially if we are out somewhere.

    We use wipes for pretty much everything in our house (they have become a general cleaning product for babies, furniture, countertops, pets, etc . . . I think I may just keep buying them after E and C are out of diapers :D .

    We use wipes on their hands and face. It is great for cleaning up after really messy meals.

    I use the Kirkland brand to wipe EVERYTHING! I would be using a roll of paper towel a day if I didn't use the wipes.

    Oh sure! I use them all the time.

    There is a permanent box of wipes in my kitchen.

    At home I use wet paper towels with a little baby soap in them, but when out and about I always use wipes on their face.

    We use regular wipes, so I'm afraid the chemicals will be too harsh on their faces. With sensitive skin wipes, it's probably OK, but I'd still rather use damp washcloths. We wash hands & faces in the bathroom after meals, and just keep a stack of baby washcloths next to the sink. When out & about, I use Wet Ones (which are probably exactly the same as wipes -- I never checked).

    I use the wipes on Trey's face but Lane's face breaks out with them-even the sensitive ones. So I use wet paper towels usually but if it was messy and at least once per day, I use a small cut up square of the disposable baby wash cloths and then rinse with wet paper towel.
