Cloth Diapering

Cloth Wipe Solution?

I am thinking about trying cloth wipes and was just wondering if anyone had an easy recipe for home made wipe solution?

TIA!

  • I use 1/2c baby oil, 1/2c DD's body wash, then 10-12 drops of Tea Tree Oil in a 2 liter jug and fill the rest of the bottle with warm water.

  • right now i'm mixing mine up in a pint sized jar and i add a squirt of dr. bronners, 1-2 drops tea tree oil, & 1 drop lavender oil and fill the rest with water.

    the orig. recipe i think called for 1tbs dr. bronners and 1 cup water (oils were 1-2 drops), but i found it was too soapy so i cut it back and upped the water.

  • I use either plain old tap water or a squirt of her bubble bath and tap water. It's been working well so I don't see the need to make a fancy solution at this time. Big Smile
  • I just use water.  It works fine and I don't have to worry about irritating my baby's skin.

  • I have a spray bottle hanging on the changing table with water and about 3 drops of J&J body wash in it.

  • We like using cloth wipes - so easy!

    I have a squirt bottle, and fill it with warm water, 2-3 drops of tea tree oil, and 3-4 drops of baby wash  (we use California Baby Calendula; smells so nice!).

     

  • we use the lavendar baby bath in tap water.  i mix it and pour it over the wipes in an old wipes box.  we got our cloth wipes at the dollar tree- they are actually baby wash cloths!  works great, only takes one wipe to clean a poopy diaper, unlike disposable wipes that need three or four.  you can make them as wet or as dry as you want, i love using cloth wipes- i dont need a seperate pail for the nasty wipes, jsut throw it all in together
  • I keep a peri bottle of water on the changing table and use with baby wash cloths.  No issues!
