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
)
