This post is part of a sponsored campaign with Those Media Girls and pickURgift. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

WaterWipes Review | #Win a case of WaterWipes! #Giveaway (12/6)

One of the hardest and last changes for parents of babies and toddlers to do when making the switch to cloth diapers is to break down and actually change to cloth wipes.  There's no judgement here, because cloth diapering isn't for everyone, and using cloth wipes isn't always for every cloth diaper user.
