RE: How long until you can use baby wipes on a newborn?
Just use baby washcloths run under warm water, and wash them with the rest of baby's clothes. The hospital will provide a small suppply of these soft disposable washcloths that you just wet. We switched to commercial baby wipes at about 1-2 weeks, I think, after we were tired of waiting for the water to warm up while Colin was screaming and full of poop. You really don't need the Huggies disposable washcloths - they are just a big marketing gimmick, IMO.
