Your favorite washable wipes mixture?

Postby clothmama » Tue Jul 22, 2014 11:13 pm

I experimented heaps with various recipes and eventually found this to be the best, cleared up nappy rash in a jiffy and smelt gorgeous and kept little bottoms lovely and soft!

Make a mug of cammomile tea - leave seeping until warm
Add:
  • a few drops of lavender essential oil and / or tea tree oil (both are natural antiseptics and the lavender is particularly healing and both safe to use on delicate skin),
  • a squirt of baby bath (optional does help clean poop off but if you have a sensitive baby leave this out)
  • a tablespoon of olive oil
Give it all a good mix and I'd generally put in a plastic box (old dispo wipe one worked well) with enough wipes for a couple of days. This time I'm going to see if it will spray from a little bottle as an easy out and about option (although taking damp wipes in a zip lock or small washable wipes bag worked well too :) )

I use water :giggle: and sometimes some almond oil or some babywash...have used the drops from Zeepwinkel but somehow I didn't really liked that.
