Wipes are Clean, say UK researchers

Baby wipes are as safe and effective as cotton wool and water and can even soothe nappy rash, according to scientists.

A wipe is as gentle on baby skin as the cotton wool and water washing technique recommended by Government health experts, it is claimed.

Researchers at Manchester University tested the wipe against cotton wool and water on 280 babies over a three-year period.

They discovered that wipes are ‘as effective and as safe as water - but much more convenient for parents'.

And babies cleaned with wipes suffer less nappy rash.

The findings run contrary to guidelines from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (Nice), which recommends that parents wash newborns with cotton wool and water to avoid skin irritation.

Babies under the age one lose more moisture through their skin than older children and are more vulnerable to irritation, meaning parents have to use gentler washing techniques.

Lead researcher Tina Lavender said 'the wipes were ‘equivalent to water and cotton wool in terms of skin hydration'.
They also revealed slightly lower levels of maternal-reported napkin dermatitis - or nappy rash - among babies washed with wipes than those who had water and cotton wool used on them.

Professor Lavender said: 'Our trial provides us with the strongest evidence available so far that we shouldn’t base our practice on tradition alone and that Nice needs to look at its current guidelines.

"'For the first time, we now have a robust, adequately-powered study that can be used in practice, the results of which should be adopted by our national guidelines.
