[Avodah] Baby Wipes

[Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer]

The Tzitz Eliezer has a teshuva allowing the use of moistened toilet 
paper on Shabbos. He was mattir for one who has difficulties since: 1. 
The sechitah is less than a shiur, so at worst it is a d'rabbanan. 2) 
There is no sechitah by paper (RMF says that too). Since children of the 
age at which baby wipes are used have the din of cholim, even were 2 not 
true, 1 would still allow it.
