SAHM Wipe Recipes

Basic Wipes #1
3 cups water
1/8 cup olive oil
4 drops tea tree oil
8 drops lavender oil
SHAKE 1 T baby shampoo (I like Mustela!)
STIR Pour over either cloth wipes or 1/2 paper towel roll, or can be kept in a spray bottle near changing station.

Anti-fungal Baby Wipes
1/2 c. distilled water
1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. aloe vera gel
1 TBS. calendula oil
1 drop lavender essential oil
1 drop tea tree essential oil
I made these wipes because I wanted something to gently discourage yeast diaper rashes. The vinegar and essential oils discourage yeast growth which means you shouldn't have too much trouble with these wipes getting moldy. To prepare, use a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Pour all your ingredients in, cover the jar and shake to blend the ingredients. Place your wipes in a container and pour on enough solution to moisten them. Store any extra solution in the fridge. It should stay fresh for a long time especially if you used distilled water.

Basic Wipes #2
2 cups water
2 T. oil (I use baby oil or half baby oil and half calendula oil)
1 T. baby bath
1-2 drops Tea Tree oil
1-2 drops Lavender oil
Mix all ingredients together in a 3qt. cylinder Rubbermaid container. Then I place 1/2 roll of Bounty paper-towels (which I cut in half horizontally ahead of time with a sharp straight edge knife) down in mixture. Let sit a couple minutes, then pull out middle cardboard tube from paper-towel roll. Then flip paper-towels over in container and place lid on and within 10-15 min., the mixture is easily distributed and wipes will be ready for use!
