Make your own Baby Oil

MIX TOGETHER:

bullet

1/4 cup cooking grade almond oil

bullet

10-15 drops lavender essential oil 

Make your own Bum Wipe Solution and Baby Wipes

Whenever possible, use all-natural ingredients. Most ingredients in are available at health food stores. It's fun to experiment and come up with your own recipe, too, by mixing & matching ingredients from the different recipes, or adding your own special touch.

NOTES:
Main Ingredients are:

bullet

Water: Best to use distilled. Tap water goes moldy quickly.

bullet

Soap: Baby shampoo is a favorite, but baby wash, or liquid soap (like Castile) are also recommended

bullet

Oil: Usually baby oil - helps to slide poopies off

bullet

Fragrance&Other: Essential oils are used both for their fragrance and other intrinsic properties specific to each oil - (i.e. tea tree oil-antibacterial). Vinegar is said to help slow down mold growth.

 

GENERAL METHODS:

bullet

For dry wipes: Simply mix the ingredients into a spray bottle, and use with flannel wipes or washcloths. I have even used fleece, though the cheaper kind will get pilly.

bullet

For wet wipes: You can use an empty commercial wipes container or any plastic lidded container. Mix the ingredients in a separate container. Place the wipes in the container, then then add the solution, and invert a few times to make sure the wipes all get sufficiently moistened. Use just enough solution to moisten. Extra solution can generally be kept refrigerated. Use flannel wipes or heavy-duty paper towels for disposable wipes.( i.e. Bounty-cheaper ones will fall apart) 
bullet

For upright containers: Cut a roll of paper towels down the center with a knife. Remove the cardboard tube from the paper towels and place in container. Add solution, and after inverting to moisten, if the container has a hole in the lid, thread the first towel from the *interior* of the roll up through the hole. 

bullet

For box type containers: Fold flannel wipes to fit or cut a roll of paper towels down the center with a knife. Tear the paper towels off and stack them up, folding to fit, ideally with a flap to make picking up each one easier. Place the stack of wipes or towels into the container, then add the solution and invert to moisten.
