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.

IIRC R' Sobolofsky thinks we should be machmir but the olam is nohaig
not so, again iirc because the moisture is really mostly on the surface
(don't ask me what that means - it was a tape of a shiur some time back,
and IIRC I didn't get it then)
