To go with my cloth diapers and cloth wipes, I decided to make my own homemade baby bum wash. It's so simple and cost effective (costs a bit to buy everything but works out to being cheap in the end).
Tea Tree Oil & Lavender Baby Bum Wash
Tea Tree oil has great anti-fungal properties and lavender essential oil has calming effects for the skin.
3 cups warm water
1/8 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Baby Wash
4 Drops Tea Tree Oil
8 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
Mix all ingredients in a jar, give a shake and store. Pour over wipes and you are good to go!
These are the products I used for the wash. I think for the amount you use, this would last a good 2 weeks. I don't soak my cloths, I just moisten them enough that I can get a good wipe without leaving his skin sopping wet. (I wipe his bum dry anyway - yes, he is spoiled!)
It smells wonderful and fresh and clean - not like chemicals like commercial baby wipes do.
Happy Wiping :)
