Aren't baby wipes subject to another problem: se'hittah? You use them 
precisely because they are moist AND the moisture will wash off the 
secretions off baby's skin. I know some posqim object, though I can't recall 
the references. Is anyone mattir? Why, is the kind of moisture extracted from 
the wipe insignificant? Oh, by the way, I am talking of se'hittah toldah of 
dash (extracting moisture from the cloth), not of se'hittah, toldah of 
melaben.
