Cloth
Wipe Solution Recipes
I have used cloth wipes
since my first child was born and still use them on her! They are not only fantastic
for bottoms, they are also great for dirty hands and faces and in the bath or
shower too. You will find you will want a pile of them in most rooms of the
house!
The basic ingredients
of cloth wipe solutions are
Soap: Cleansing properties
Oil: moisturizer
Essential oil: Antibacterial
and antifungal properties and aromatic purposes.
Water: Acts as a
diluent for your other ingredients.
The only thing I would
recommend is that you use the soap or bath wash that you use on your child as
many children are sensitive to the harsh brands of baby wash. Otherwise be creative
and make your very own solution!
If you are too tired to even think of being creative! here are some recipes
that other people have used and loved. If you have a favorite please email it
