Are water wipes better for newborns?
For very young or sensitive skin, wipes that are ~99% water with minimal additives are the gentlest option and least likely to irritate. They can be pricier and feel less "cleansing" on big messes.
Can I flush baby wipes?
Generally no — even many "flushable" wipes don’t break down like toilet paper and can clog plumbing. Bin them unless the packaging is explicitly septic-safe and you trust it.
