Wipes Warmer Instructions

A sleeping infant, who might otherwise sleep through a diaper change, can be easily awakened by the coldness of a wipe on her bottom. A baby wipe warmer offers your newborn a more comfortable diaper changing experience and limits the shrieks of discomfort you have to endure. All wipe warmers operate differently, and while some of the general directions are similar, information regarding functions such as specific parts and water cups can vary significantly between models.

Things You'll Need

  • 1 cup water

Instructions

    • 1

      Place the wipe warmer on a stable, flat surface. A secure location prevents spilling of heated water near the electrical cord or your baby. If your changing table is smaller, move the wipe warmer onto a separate surface where the baby can't accidentally knock it onto the floor.

    • 2

      Insert the wipes into the container. You can use two different types of wipes, pop-up wipes or standard folded. The pop-up wipes expose the tip of the next wipe after each dispensation, while the folded wipes remain in a folded pile until removed from the heated container.

    • 3

      Add water to the reservoir or water cup. Various models suggest different amounts of water, but most will indicate the recommended amount with a "fill line" across the cup.

    • 4

      Plug in the wipe warmer. Most models take several hours to warm the entire stack of wipes. Touch them with your own fingers before using them on your baby, the wipe should be warm, not hot.
