Free Recipe for Cloth Baby Wipe Solution
Perfect homemade baby wipe recipe to keep your baby's bottom clean and rash free without using disposable wipes
Pop 18 to 24 cloth baby wipes into a container with this gentle cleaning solution and you are set for a frugal and chemical-free diaper change.
The aloe will help soothe skin and prevent diaper rash, while the essential oils have antibacterial and antiseptic properties - plus they add a refreshing aroma to the wipes solution. Double or even quadruple this recipe and store the extra in a glass container in the fridge for later use. It will stay fresh longer if you use distilled water and purchased aloe gel.
You will need:
- 1 Tbsp. Dr. Bronner's baby soap (I use this because it says you don't have to rinse, but any baby soap should be fine)
- 2 Tbsp. almond oil, extra virgin olive oil, or baby oil 1/3 Cup pure aloe gel or the goo from inside a large aloe plant leaf (strained through a sieve)
- 1 1/3 Cups water
- 3 drops each lavender oil and/or tea tree oil - use only high grade essential oils
Directions:
1.) Mix the baby soap and the oil together until the oil dissolves.
2.) Add the aloe and stir with a fork or small whisk until everything is well combined.
3.) Slowly add the water, being careful not to make too much foam.
4.) Add essential oils.
5.) Place baby wipes and wipe solution in container, flipping around to get all wipes damp.
