So you were all washing your bloody shopping and everything and wiping it all down." Advertisement Carl then revealed that he "opened the wrong pack" of wipes and instead of using baby wipes on his son, he used an antibacterial one when changing his nappy. Aisling remarked: "No wonder why his skin is so sensitive."
