Cloth Wipes

This may seem a bit extreme to some, but CLOTH WIPES is where it's at!

It's super easy to prep your cloth wipes and they provide a healthier and more cost effective solution to regular wipes and you can make them according to the needs of you baby's delicate skin.

Not to mention, Huggies just had ANOTHER wipes scandal when several moms discovered GLASS SHARDS in their wipes! That's scary and terrible!

To make cloth wipes you have a few options:

• You can start with Baby wash cloths
• Stitch some flannel wipes out of some old shirts or pajama pants
• Or just cut out squares using no-fray fabric like fleece 

 Next,  you want to make a soapy solution to soak your wipes in. 

Usually, people use: 

OIL to make wiping easy, 

SOAP to clean Le Poop from the bum, 

WATER to dilute the other ingredients and bring them all together, 

ESSENTIAL OILS to make everything smell nice as well as for added antibacterial and antimicrobial effects. 

BASIC RECIPE:

2 c. Water 

1 T. Soap (castile or baby soap works well- I just use whatever I'm washing baby with at the time)

2 T. Coconut Oil (which adds an extra antibacterial effect and makes the wipes wipe smoothly)

3-6 drops Lavender Oil

3 drops Chamomile Oil

Soak your wipes in the solution and gently squeeze out excess water but not all of it so they don't dry out too quickly.

                                                    


 Always be cautious using essential oils on your baby! Lavender and Chamomile are the most mild and baby skin friendly oils, but if you want to use any other kind, like tea tree oil for anti fungal benefits, use in small amounts to make sure baby doesn't have a bad reaction. 

OR if you don't want to make your own solution, the one I'm posting below is a really nice natural solution so you would just soak your wipes in it and store them in a wipe container.

The wipe warmers works AMAZING for this! and keep them from getting moldy.
