The best baby wipes for sensitive skin

NewFolks
By

Baby wipes are multifunctional: They keep babies clean, help spot-clean around the home, and clean your face and other areas gently. Whether you have rash-prone skin or if you have a child who has sensitive skin, the right baby wipe can provide relief. We’ve put together a list of our favorite baby wipes to help you find the best match for you.

Baby wipes usually come in convenient packs with flip-tops for easy dispensing. If you have a newborn, it’s practical to stock up on good baby wipes. Alternatively, if you’re searching for baby wipes for personal use, it’s also ideal to keep a stash available in your car, bag, and bathroom. Let’s take a look at our top picks.

postpartum supplies pregnant woman packing hospital bag

You have a cute homecoming outfit for Baby all picked out, the chicest stroller money can buy set up and folded in your trunk, and a room full of half-put-together nursery furniture just waiting for Baby's big debut. You are ready -- well, sort of. The countdown to labor and delivery is on, and while your nesting instincts may be in overdrive, you'll also want to ensure that you are set up to successfully navigate the postpartum challenges ahead. Now is the appropriate time to scoop up the essentials you might want or need at the hospital and your home to ensure that the postpartum-recovery process is smooth and pain-free -- well, as much as possible.
While many soon-to-be moms talk about packing a suitcase for the hospital, we advise having three separate bags ready to go. You will want to have some favorite creature comforts to help you get through labor and delivery (lip balm, headphones, etc.), you'll need the basics for Baby, and, separately, you should have products for recovery within reach. While stocking all of these items is important, we are going to devote this must-have list to postpartum essentials for moms -- because we want you to know what to expect from your body once Baby is born and understand how you can prepare for any and all aches, pains, and potential scenarios.
So grab a pen and paper, and get your postpartum checklist started. You will want to make sure you have these 12 things before you give birth.

Disposable underwear and/or pads
If you've typed the question, "what supplies do I need after giving birth?" into a Google search bar, you are not alone by a long shot. And if you are surprised to learn that disposable underwear is at the tippy top of the must-have list, all we can say is: Welcome to the new moms' club!
Yes, disposable underwear are about as sexy as they sound. And, regardless of whether you have a vaginal birth or C-section, you'll be going through these paper panties rather speedily; believe it or not, you'll learn to love them. As your uterus contracts, you will bleed as if you are experiencing a heavy period. While the hospital will have some flimsy, disposable pairs on hand, we recommend finding an option that's a bit thicker, offers more absorbency, and features a higher waist in case you have a C-section incision scar to work around.
