My baby gets rash frequently and I suspect the wet wipes. Is cleaning with water during diaper changes better for rash?

Alcohol, perfumes, or preservatives in wet wipes can irritate sensitive skin. Warm water and soft cotton or cloth is generally a gentler option — using plain water reduces chemical exposure and can lower rash risk. However, it's important not to forget to dry the area thoroughly after water cleaning; moisture left on the skin also invites rash. If rash doesn't improve even with water cleaning, or if it becomes blistered or inflamed, consult your pediatrician.
