@onemoretime, No tears, honey. Your instincts will help on this one! I was a nanny for a long time and it's really not hard! You know the parts since you have them- just use your common sense, go front to back and use a ton of wipes until you feel comfortable if you need to. When in doubt, use water wipes or a wet cloth. Almost all the kids I've watched are girls and the mommies used store bought sensitive wipes and all were ok!

I'm sure I'll figure it out @rgaine I may shed some nervous tears the first few times though. :).

You're a mom of 4- you've totally got this!!

I have been using regular wipes since day one and haven't had any issues honestly. So that could be totally up to you :)

@primerose99,

Thank you @primerose99. would you say it is ok to use unscented, sensitive wipes or should I go with plain water and a washcloth?

My daughter never had any bleeding but she did have some discharge. Just make sure you get in all the nooks and crannies, be extra gentle, and definitely try to wipe inside her little private area especially when she poops because you don't want an infection inside. And obviously like you already said front to back. I had a boy first, so I know what you mean by how you're feeling but it isn't as hard as it may seem. promise! :)
