As promised; here’s my recipe for homemade baby wipes!
It’s so so super easy, all you’re going to need is;
- 1 3/4 cooled boiler water {still slightly warm to help blend our oils}
- 1 tablespoon organic certified, cool pressed,extra virgin Coconut oil
- 4-6 drops each of Your choice of essential oils; try to stick to pure lavender, orange, and chamomile-either or all, avoiding tea tree and eucalyptus oils as they will dry out the skin and will be far too harsh on any nappy rash your Bub may get
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 1 paper towel
- 1 air tight container
That’s it!
And the best thing is, the steps to make them are even easier than 1,2,3….4!
- Mix all of the water and oils together, be sure to aggitate for about 20 seconds to thoroughly mix all the oils!
- Cut the paper towel in half with a large knife, placing one half aside and the other in your chosen air tight container!
- Slowly and evenly pour all of the water and oils over the top of the paper towel, and pop the lid on the container!
- After 5-10 minutes remove the lid, and find the tongue of the centre and pull all of the cardboard out~this should reveal the very first inner sheet of the wipes ready for each and every use!
THATS IT!
The best thing about these wipes {aside from how beautiful they smell and feel!!} is the fact that you will know exactly what you’re putting on yours or bubbas skin. There will never be a healthier wipe for your little ones tooshie, with organic coconut oil providing a gorgeous moisturiser, rebuilding and nourishing their delicate little skin, and an antibacterial element to ensure the highest level of hygiene , grapeseed oil for added moisture barrier to keep that nappy rash at bay, and your choice of essential oils to add a beautiful calming element to the air each nappy change.
For us at home, these wipes are fantastic as a relief from the intense heat in the middle of the day, a quick nappy change and a lovely wipe over his hair!
Might I also add Mr. 5 month’s hair has grown SO much since wiping it over with my wipes not to mention any signs of cradle cap or oily patches have been gone since he has had his face and head washed with these honeys!
These homemade wipes have 100% become a staple in our household as a family and I would LOVE to hear how they’ve gone for you!
