No...baby wipes won't work. I've been lucky and had puppies during the colder months so when flea-time did get here they were old enough for Frontline. You may need a vet to be able to tell you what might be safe for the newborns. For the rest of the property...this link should help: insects.tamu.edu/extension/bulletins/uc/uc-034.html

Thank you for the link Veronica (o: I have a home remedy, but I'm still waiting for the vet to call me back. There is an organic product that will kill the fleas and acts like frontline when applied, I just need to find out if it's safe for the puppies.

We found out how to kill the fleas. It's a slow process, but it's working. Baby shampoo three times a week and just a rinse down daily. The baby shampoo is safe for their skin and fleas don't like soapy water. We are washing Sweetie with dawn dish detergent. Thank God we found something that is working slowly. We called the vets office and they called me back wanting to sell me Advantage. I think we're finding a new vet. I'm not an expert but I sure as heck know you can't use Advantage on puppies under 4 weeks of age. She refused to give me any home remedies so I searched online hehe. The puppies are growing bigger every day. I'll take more pictures in a few days and will post them (o: Take it easy and thank you all again for all the info on fleas and the puppy wipes. I really do appreciate it.
