What's your fav. cloth wipes solution?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hello,
I see lots of recipes for solutions and tried one with olive oil, but maybe that is not good to be washing with my cloth diapers? Should I just stick with water and a drop of tea tree oil? My babe is 2 weeks old if that matters. I plan to keep the solution in a spray bottle and use on the wipes with each application. I'm sure there is a search feature on these forums but I haven't found it. I am quite sleep deprived though!
Thank you!

PS: Oops, duh, just found the search feature and lots of info on this.

We've been really happy with this recipe:

2 Cups Distilled Water
2 tablespoons almond oil
2 tablespoons baby wash
2 Drops Tea Tree Oil
2 Drops Lavender Oil
2 drops Vitamin E

Mix well and put in a spray bottle. We store the wipes dry, and spray wipe using the spray bottle right before use.

Honestly...warm water from the sink was always fine for me. I tried making up wipe solutions in the beginning with dd1, but I never could stick with it and it didn't make a difference when it came to cleanliness.

I mean if a kid is that dirty I just give them a quick bath anyways.

Us too. We use plain water on a wash cloth with newborns. I use a soapy wash cloth once baby is eating solids and having real poops.

I just keep dry cloths and wet them with warm water from the kitchen faucet as needed. Easy, and nice to have warm wipes in the winter!
