Aldi have their 480 pack for their standard $10.50 price and seem quite good, the mamamia brand. I’ve started using these now.
I get mine from big w 6x80 for $8.
Wow
Clearance?
Normal price at Kmart and Bigw
We've only ever used the Kmart ones 480 for $8.
I think the s&s prices have now changed ?
Literally stunts their development
What
Yeah I was curious about this statement and ran it through ChatGPT
====================
The claim that using baby wipes "literally stunts their development" is not supported by any well-documented scientific evidence. Here's a breakdown of why such a claim might be circulating:
Exposure to Chemicals: There is also some anxiety around exposure to certain chemicals, such as preservatives like phenoxyethanol. Critics worry that repeated exposure might have long-term health impacts. While some studies have raised concerns about chemicals affecting the endocrine system or being neurotoxic in high concentrations, the levels found in consumer products, like wipes, are typically well below harmful thresholds.
Developmental Concerns:
There is no clinical evidence to suggest that using baby wipes impacts neurological, cognitive, or physical development in infants. Developmental stunting usually refers to growth or cognitive delays caused by serious factors, such as poor nutrition, lack of physical and mental stimulation, or exposure to toxins at dangerous levels. Baby wipes are not linked to such outcomes.
Possible Misinterpretations
Claims like these might arise from anecdotal stories or misunderstandings of what constitutes developmental risk factors. For example, irritation or discomfort could temporarily make a baby fussy or disrupt sleep, but this is not synonymous with long-term developmental issues.
Conclusion
While there are genuine concerns about skin irritation or allergies from baby wipes, no credible studies or experts have made a direct connection between using baby wipes and stunted development in infants. It's important to consider using wipes that are free of fragrances and harsh chemicals, especially for babies with sensitive skin, but fears of developmental harm are not backed by scientific evidence.
If you have any worries about how a product might affect an infant's well-being, consulting a pediatrician can provide more personalized guidance.

Your child is tiny and has extremely porous skin and people are just like yeah let's low dose them with endocrine disrupting and neurotoxic chemicals.

Is Phenoxyethanol Toxic?
Based on the search results, Phenoxyethanol is considered safe when used in concentrations of 1% or less. It acts as a preservative, solvent, and antimicrobial ingredient. Many reputable sources, such as Fleur & Bee, CosmeticsInfo.org, and Paula’s Choice, confirm its safety for topical use in humans.
However, some sources express concerns about Phenoxyethanol’s potential toxicity. Organic Apoteke warns that Phenoxyethanol can be toxic, particularly at moderate concentrations, and may affect the brain and nervous system. The Danish EPA and Environmental Working Group (EWG) also list Phenoxyethanol as an irritant and toxic in varying concentrations.
Key Findings
Phenoxyethanol is generally considered safe when used in concentrations of 1% or less.
Some animal studies suggest toxicity at moderate concentrations, with effects on the brain and nervous system.
The FDA issued a warning about Phenoxyethanol’s use in a cream for nursing mothers.
Phenoxyethanol is often used as a preservative in natural and organic cosmetic products.
Conclusion
While Phenoxyethanol is deemed safe by many sources, there are concerns about its potential toxicity at higher concentrations. As with any ingredient, it’s essential to check product labels and look for concentrations below 1%. If you have sensitive skin or allergies, it’s recommended to patch test or consult with a dermatologist before using products containing Phenoxyethanol.
@frewer: Government says alcohol is ok if you're under 0.05. should be fine to drink all your life then hey.
@Mr BoMBAStiG: Government says you're not legally permitted to operate a vehicle if you're 0.05 or over.
That's not them saying alcohol is fine under 0.05 at all. Weird way to fill in the blanks with your own cooked narrative.
Lets take a look at Department of Health website: https://www.health.gov.au/topics/alcohol/about-alcohol/how-m…
Line 1: It’s never completely safe
Where's this "Government say alcohol is fine under 0.05" message you seem to be sure exists?
You're not meant to feed it to them
Crazy how I get down voted here and in other deals for the same product users that point out the dangers of phenoxyethanol get high up votes.
I just can't wrap my head around how people opt for a low price and fancy marketing over their kids health.
My brother, people take their kids to KFC and McDonalds and pump caffeine while the child is in the womb, I don't think genuine care for a child's health is of utmost importance to a lot of people.
Yep, and then 40% of our pay goes to trying to bandaid their eventual issues.
ya i got negged last time toi
Thanks for pointing this out. As a new parent I didn't know and appreciate the heads up. I think your original comment was a little cryptic but otherwise good intentions.
I won't be buying this brand or anything that contains that chemical.
Yet another item I can no longer order from Amazon due to postal restrictions. Purchased half a dozen times before without issue, but now on the cannot ship list apparently…
edit: Price matching chemist warehouse, so you miss out on subscribe and save but if they're your preferred wipes (and Amazon won't ship to you either) grab them from there.
Thanks for this, I'm in the same boat. We have a CW nearby.
I find these too soapy. Huggies seemed to be much better than this
I find these too dry (not watery enough) compared to other brands. Will stick to Huggies or Water Wipes. Might use cub or little ones for less important stuff.
