Make your own baby wipes - Real Mum story on MoM

I found this on the Internet and tried it, it really works

2 cups water

1 tbsp of your favorite baby wash

1 tbsp baby oil

This is the basic recipe. There are many variation but they all seem to be about the same make-up with different ingredients. For example, you can exchange the baby soap with aloe vera gel if you wish. You can use a natural organic soap. You can even use a baby soap with moisturizer to make a moisturizing baby wipe.

The baby oil can be substituted with essential oils. Try 1/2 tablespoon each of a couple different oils to experiment a bit. Be careful though. I would give a call to the doctor’s office to just make sure the oils are not harmful in any way. I know that tea tree oil, or calendula oil are both safe bets. Some people use olive oil and sometimes substitute the water for fancy mineral water. And If you want to make you own baby wipes lavender scented, use a lavender baby soap and lavender baby oil. Johnson’s makes a great lavender baby wash and oil that smells wonderful! (borrowed from http://www.make-your-own-baby-stuff.com/make-your-own-baby-wipes.html) lots of other cool ideas on their

Great idea although I’d be a little worried about how the paper towel would hold up. But it’s worth giving a go. I love natural Homemade products!
