Mum's 'life-changing' baby wipe hack is stunning parents

If you're a parent it's likely you've got baby wipes everywhere.

In the car, in your handbag, in every room of the house - the baby wipe is an essential item when raising little ones.

But there are few things more frustrating when faced with a dirty nappy or food-related disaster than not being able to get a wipe out of the packed.

Well one mum's "life-changing" hack has seen parents minds blown.

Lauren Martin, 29, discovered a way to pull one baby wipe out of the packet at a time, instead of several coming out at once.

Hull Live reports the mum-of-one discovered the hack when she accidentally ripped the inner thin plastic - which meant she could pull out just one wipe instead of a whole bunch sneaking through.

Sharing the hack to Facebook group  The Motherload , Lauren wrote: "My son is 19 months and I'm ONLY just "discovering" that if you fully rip open wipes they'll come out one by one and not a whole bunch that string out while I'm trying to change a dirty nappy and undo a wipe with my double chins.

"This may or may not be known and I'm a tit... but I felt I had to share."

The post has over 1,000 reactions with almost 400 comments, mainly from parents who said they did not have a clue, with parents calling it a "game-changer" and saying they have been left "mind-blown".

One mum said: "I've been a parent for over ten years and I have never heard of this!! Mind blown!!"

Another said: "OMG thank you for this! I’m often changing my son's bottom and holding his legs fighting his escape while having what seems like a ninja attack with the baby wipes as they come out in a long line of wipes! I’m flapping about like a nutter.

Another mum said: "No way! I thought all the packs were bloody faulty, lmao, but we love  Aldi  wipes so wasn't changing them. Thanks for that!"
