Didn’t anyone ever suggest just crumpling the wipe in your fist to warm it with your own body heat before using it?? My input to any friend who ever asked for advice has been: “Three must-haves: Baby Bjorn, Baby Jogger and Diaper Genie”.

Love this! I too had a wipe warmer that I thought I “had to have” but it stayed in the box and gave it to another mommy that thought she “had to have one”!

Funny article, but I wouldn’t change the wipe warmer at all! As a matter of fact, that’s the one gift that I give all my friends having babies. No need for unnecessary stress and screaming!

P.S. I did not leave my daughter after she was asleep and floating, just to clarify. I freaked out when I came back and saw that!

(Found you through Sabrina Soto’s recommendation) So twice my grandmother gave me common sense advice regarding my kids. When first home from the hospital I was waking my son every two hours to eat, as the nurse instructed me to do. My grandmother thought that was ridiculous and said he will wake up and cry when he was hungry. The other was when my four year old fell asleep in the bathtub and was floating. (Shame on me for leaving her there….I thought she was old enough). As I recounted the incident to my grandma she told me that my daughter wouldn’t drown. She’d wake up if water went up her nose. She is probably right, but anyway, I just love her common sense ways.

I got one for my first baby in ’99. It burned the damn wipes and was recalled 3 months later. Somehow both of my babies survived

Love this blog! I never wanted a wipe warmer because I thought, what happens when I’m changing a diaper somewhere other than my home, and GASP! the wipe would not be warm?! That was the beginning of my parental independence. This year, with my children in 5th and 7th grade, I took another stand: no more binders larger than 1.5″. I don’t care if the list said 3″, I’m not doing it. I don’t need my kids to fall backwards when wearing their backpacks. You go girl, love your first blog!

Great blog! I am totally with you, yes I got the wipe warmer, however I never plugged it in because I didn’t want my daughter to get use to it. Then one day you don’t have a warm wipe and all hell breaks loose. I know I am a mean mom, but hey they have to get use to cruel world early!

Three years is a long time! Haha ours only made it to about 3 hours and it broke. We just registered for baby #3 and laughed at all the stuff we thought we needed for #1.
