[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's cultural with the wipes.

I had a nanny that refused to used them and washed baby's bum after each poop. I thought it was strange but she was wonderful so wasn't worth making a big deal over it[/quote]

OP here,

That's good to know.  It was definitely weird for me. I asked the mom where do you keep the wipes? She looked at me and said we don't use wipes, please wash babies bottom after diaper change. It doesn't matter if the baby peed or poop. So uncomfortable, carrying a kid with poop on his bottom to the kitchen sink. Poop all over the kitchen counter and trying to wipe him with napkins, getting the water temperature in the sink correctly, and rinsing baby, dry baby with towel and finally baby wearing diaper. I want it to leave right after that incident. I held myself in and finished my shift at 5:30 p.m.

Geez oh Pete.

1. Turn on the water, warm it up to the right temperature, have a baby washcloth handy.
2. Change the child by the tub, on a mat on the floor.  Take off the diaper.
3. As you take off the diaper, use the edge/front to wipe a bit.  Lift the child into the tub, supporting appropriately.
4. Rinse/wash and diaper.

The whole process takes roughly the same amount of time that using wipes does.[/quote]

Maybe for you that would be easy and great.  As a nanny myself, no thanks.  I won't do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable and will give me the double of work.  I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that every change of diaper.  And too much bacteria around, sink, bathtub, changing table, everywhere.  No thanks. [/quote]
