I heard today from someone that baby wipes warmers and lavender baths are bad for children with cf, and i went online to try to find some info about that, and came up with nothing. Has anyone every heard of this and why?

I think on the lavendar & menthol baths, the packaging warns about using it on children with asthma. We used the J&J menthol baths when DS was stuffed up. With the wipe warmer, I'd assume things could probably get warm and grow in there. I saw the wipe warmers in the store, but was mean mom and just used ice cold wipes <img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">

This might require therapy years down the line...Joke, only a joke! We use the menthol ones for Jazz when she is stuffy & it I am having a bad tine. It does bother me. I do believe its more of an asmthatic issue tho. I never used actual Lavendar nor the wipe warmer. Hope you get some more answers!

I use both.

I just clean it 2-3 times a week and use bottled/filtered water. Our little one knows that in her bedroom she gets the warm ones and her little tushie tightens downstairs because they are the room temp ones. It is funny.

The wipe warmer is FABULOUS at night. I can change a diaper and put her back to bed without COMPLETELY waking her up.

If you find out anything else about not using wipe warmers, let us know. I'll keep an eye open too.

I used a wipe wamer too. But now that you mention it, whenever there is heat and moisture, there can be bacteria. We even disconnected our humidifier from our furnace because we were afraid of that.

I have a friend who just had a baby (neither has cf) and her OBGYN told her not to use a wipe warmer because it can cause bacteria to grow. moist wipe + warm air = perfect place for bacteria to grow.
