I have started making my own wet wipes for my 16-month-old daughter due to sensitive skin issues. I am using baby wash cloths right now. Before I did this I had to buy expensive sensitive skin wipes. I am so grateful for your tips and solution recipes. So far I am hooked on making my own wipes. She is getting so much cleaner, has no rashes, and I do not worry about what I am putting on her skin. Thanks! Common Cloth Wipe Solution Recipe Ingredients:Most cloth wipe solution recipes contain similar main ingredients, which are used for the same reason in each recipe. These are the common ingredients and why they're included:
The type and amounts of oil, soap, EO and water that goes into a recipe is what gives each cloth wipe solution its own distinct "personality". Have fun trying different recipes until you find the ones that you like best! I am not an expert in essential oils, so please do your own research before using essential oils in your cloth wipe solutions. A recent report suggests that certain essential oils may be endocrine disruptors, however, other research claims otherwise. More information about essential oils can be found at Bath Heaven, Aroma Web, A World of Aromatherapy and other great sites on the Web. Some mamas have reported that baby oil caused their diapers with microfleece inners to repel, so use with caution. How to Use Cloth Wipe Solutions
First of all, please use common sense and keep all wipe solution ingredients away from your child. You may not think that these everyday products can be dangerous, but some infants have suffered respiratory problems after aspirating baby oil. When mixing solutions we've found that it works best to start with water, then oil and finally soap. By starting with water you'll avoid making tons of bubbles, and the oil will coat your measuring tools so the soap slips right off.
Don't store solution or wet wipes for a long time because they can become musty and the wet wipes may even grow mildew - ewww! Check your solution and wet wipes daily, and mix smaller batches of solution frequently instead of large batches less often to avoid mustiness. We mix fresh solution once a week, store it in a bottled-water bottle, and have not had any problems with mustiness. *Please note: Tea Tree Oil should be diluted because pure Tea Tree Oil may cause a reaction in some people.
