Celebrating Milestones in 2025: WaterWipes here for the journey

WaterWipes are a Proud Supporter of Miracle Babies Foundation.

Together, we’ve: educated, empowered and supported families who have faced the overwhelming experience of having a baby born premature or critically ill.

Having a baby enter the world not as expected can be life-changing. Being inside a neonatal unit is like a world that you never knew existed.

In 2025, as we embark on nine years of working together, WaterWipes and Miracle Babies Foundation are celebrating the small and big milestones faced by families, and also our work toward our shared purpose: to improve, support and enhance all lives impacted by a premature or sick birth. 

In 2017, WaterWipes began being provided to families inside the Neonatal Unit. In 2019, WaterWipes and Miracle Babies worked together to capture the stories of babies born premature or sick and their families. We thank WaterWipes for helping to raise awareness and provide support over the years and now, our partnership continues to support families throughout their entire journey.

2024 saw more than 25,000 support interactions to families across Australia through peer support services and resources alone. The Information hub continued to expand, now reaching 500,000+ page views each year. More than 13,000 resources were delivered to families in hospitals nationally and with the program continuing to grow, 2025 is expected to reach more families than ever before. Thank you WaterWipes for your continued support and for being on this journey with us to make a real difference to vulnerable newborns and their families.

ABOUT WATERWIPES

Created by a concerned Dad and inspired by a daughter with sensitive skin, WaterWipes work on the belief that less truly is more. The WaterWipes founder was shocked to discover the chemicals in baby wipes that were meant to be 'suitable from birth', so he set out to create a truly gentle alternative that actually was. Five years of research and development followed, before the birth of WaterWipes - the world's truly pure baby wipes.
