  Cloth Wipes Solution (kbylenga)
Posted: 5:56:44 pm on 9/26/2008 Modified: Never
 

I'm planning on using cloth wipes for my baby.  I know some people just moisten them with warm water.  Does anyone have a home-made "wipe solution" that they use on the wipes?

If you google this, you'll find lots of recipes with all sorts of neat ingredients, but the basics are water, oil, and soap.  You can use baby oil or olive oil (which may be healthier? but smells funny).  I put water in an old squeeze bottle (actually, the bottle my midwife gave me for cleaning my perineum after childbirth ha ha), and the smallest possible squirt of soap and oil.  Then I just squeeze it on the cloth wipes as needed (extra baby facecloths, since I rec'd 100 at my baby showers).

If you want to make disposable wipes for travelling, use Bounty sheets cut in half and moisten a bunch all at once.  Other paper towels fall apart - trust me!

I use a wipe warmer with hot water (2 cups) then I put a few drops of Tea Tree oil (helps prevent rash) and one Honey Chunk.  I really like Honey Chunks, they are little chunks of pre made soap for cloth wipes.  The water in the wipe warmer stays warm and I refil the water every couple days.  I just wet a wipe as needed.  My 7 month old baby girl never gets rashes.  Here is the web site:  www.honeychunks.com

I use Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion Spray. You can find either the pre mixed Spray, or buy the concentrate and mix it yourself. I use the concentrate and mix it with witch hazel; there are directions on the bottle. You can find many diaper stores that sell it, I have purchased it from Green Mountain Diapers ( http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/other.htm )

It is good stuff, a friend recommended it to me and Ive had good luck with it. I hope this helps!
