Sometimes I think I’m the only one in the world who thinks a baby wipe warmer is a wonderful idea. Though this item seems to appear far too frequently on the “baby products you can do without” lists, I love mine!

I often give a wipe warmer as a shower present because I found mine to be indispensable. True, you can do without it. True I am one of those people who will change a child at the drop of a hat…anytime anyplace. But I found, since my son, indeed my whole family suffers from sensitive skin, a wipe warmer comes in handy.

Struggling through the first year of diaper changes can be horrifying if your child has sensitive skin. Diaper changes become more and more frequent as you struggle to eradicate the troublesome rashes that mar his or her tiny bottom. The last thing you want to do on the 10^th diaper change at only 10:00AM, is to subject the poor sufferer to the shock of a cold wipe too! (Yes, cold does feel good on a rash but try telling that to a shocked and screaming baby – save the cold for after the initial scrub.) So, I heartily recommend adding an inexpensive wipe warmer to your changing table. Later you can use it to store that cold, cold sunscreen that kids complain about.
