Best baby washcloths & towels according to redditors

I know this is random but I have a newborn as well and the first few times we gave him a bath, he cried bloody murder. Our friend saw a picture my wife posted of him in the bath, crying of course, and she suggested buying a towel that goes on their chest to keep them warm so we bought it. He now loves bath time. Just something to consider if your newborn isn’t the best at bath time!

Here is the one we have!

You should invest in some shower crayons

Probably something like these ones I had as a kid. They were indeed the shit.

This is the only way I get him out of the bath

I wear only a tank top when washing my face at the sink. Put on cleansing oil, rub it in then wet one of these Bamboo washcloths for babies, they are super soft! Swipe all over face, neck and chest.
Cleanse with gel cleanser then do the same with the washcloths. I repeat until all the soap is gone.
These wash cloths are so soft that they don’t irritate my skin. I love them so much that I bought bath sheets and face towel as well.

My little girl just got her 5th tooth today! So far, this scalp brush thingy is her favorite thing gnaw on when a tooth is coming in. I also freeze breast milk into popsicles and she enjoys that too! I’m sure formula would work the same! Sometimes she likes to chew on a cold washcloth as well.

Yay! Congratulations!

I actually haven't bought any clothes for my little one yet, but I'm definitely going to be buying this because it's adorable.

You want both boppy's- you're good.

Mam pacifiers seem to be really popular- add a pack of those.

I loved earth momma nipple butter, I also recommend their calendula oil!

I recommend Natemia hooded towels- they are absorbent and large enough for my toddler. The rest are garbage and I use them for makeup towels now.

Throw one of these on there- this one I found was easiest for both kids- some of these cups have really stiff lids, not this one though.

Zutano booties! Kind of pricey but stay on so well, and hold up- I think mine have been through 3 kids (hand me downs) and are still going strong!

Avancy plates and bowls are BY FAR the best at staying suctioned- babies love to throw their plates and bowls off high chairs. Since they are a little pricier, a perfect shower gift!

Throw some plain ol' aquaphor on there, and some books (babies are boring, its nice to read to them) and you are all set!

I came across this lobster towel in one of my many internet forays; if you don't already know about it, you probably should.

Here’s something similar found in amazon, made for washing babies

Thanks for bolding that! Appreciate it much.

Also, baby wash cloths Are great. The little square ones made of microfiber material on one side and smooth on the other.

muselin ones would be wonderful! — wishlist ;)

I do!

these are the exact plugs I used You just smush them in until they form a seal. Super comfortable, never came out, and did their job!

I brought a small quick dry towel Not super sure how you would go about it otherwise, unless you dry with dirty clothes? Albergues don't provide towels.

You might not need a sleeping bag! I can't speak from experience, but it seems like it's hot enough in the summer that many people use sleeping bag liners just fine. I used a 50 degree sleeping bag in October and had it unzipped many nights. Don't rely on albergue blankets though... bleh

Pannolini, mangiapannolini igienico, doudou

Not sure if these are the exact ones I have but they are a lifesaver and come in handy if you are in a pinch. Plus its super soft Babygoal Reusable Bamboo Baby Wipes, Washable Small Size Saliva Towel Face Wipes,12 Pack Cloth Wipes 12bw01f https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PDIX9AM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EwdZDbA6VPRT4. Sorry fancy link wont work

I just hoard the baby towels from my local thrift store. (between .50$ and 1$ each) Most of them are synthetic fleece (think polar) but sometime they also got these (I have no idea how you call those). I make double layers and it works like a charm to absorb urine. Starts smelling after 5-6 days with two rats in the cage. 3-4 days with 4. I wash the ones that survives (the towels not the rats). They usually last ~3 weeks and then I cut whats left into tiny pieces for nesting. For the poop they use their litter 95% of the time. I just put a box and fill it with aspen bedding. I change the bedding whenever I change the blankets but it literally never smells.

Nothing even remotely special. Hudson Baby Bamboo Hooded Bath Towel and Washcloth, Purple Owl except a 6 pack I think (although we have this towel too)

They've held up well after three years of getting washed at LEAST once a week. Not soft anymore but not fraying and still plenty absorbent!

We use a tiny bit of Aveeno but put it on a konjac sponge. It makes lots of lather and is super gentle!

They do make an adult one!.

My daughter used this Tummy Tub 'til she was around 3 (she's a tiny bit in the short side). That seemed to help. I still use it as a barrier between her and the faucet, making bubbles to pour into the big bath, and to have a ready reservoir of rinse water on hair-washing nights. She also likes digging the water out of it to splash.

We still use something very similar to this folding bathtub in our regular tub to this day. Also wastes less water. And the Tummy Tub is used to collect the water from the faucet and pour it in from.

We have a spout cover, too, and it makes me less nervous, but she also went through a phase of jerking it off, making it pointless.

I wanted us to get one of these organisers, since they service as a kind of barrier as well as a distraction.

Paints/crayons helped.

Good luck!

Yayyyyyyyy! How exciting!!!


this is just too freaking adorable :)

My daughter loved this when she was a baby

This is silly and fun!

You are going to want this for sure. Helps cover up diaper smell!

For the due date.... I'm going to say.... May 21 because that's my birthday! :D

Baby Shark Robe

Hit me with anything from my WL if I win, and thanks for the contest!

I really like the name Patrick, but I'm also biased because it's my brother's name haha

If they made an adult sized version of this, I'd wear it.

This is a super generic idea, but I think using chalkboard type labels on off white cardstock for food or something would be a really minimalistic and unique way of presenting things.

Thanks for the contest!

Did it come with a blanket? This one is also by Doudou et Compagnie but has the same light brown eyes your nephew's bunny has. I typed "Doudou Et Compagnie Rabbit" on ebay and got plenty of matches, just shipping out of the UK.
