@Babies411 Hope this won't disgust anyone but does anyone know if these can be flushed? I have two children: 7 yrs and 4 yrs; so we're out of diaper stage but everyone in our family, including the kids, use Cottenelle or Scott's bottom wipes after BM's. We are finding that the kids are going thru the wipes we buy in a week; cause we can't supervise them at all times. I figure this might be a cheaper way to go-- if they can be flushed.

@bubblebubblemintpop3 I'm sure that that is what she is talking about. It's really great for the skin. I use it on my skin with baking powder, sugar, or salt as a scrub for my dry hands in the winter.

Wow! You are awesome! What a great trick! Question, though...does the mixture gather any mold or anything like that after sitting or is it ok? Do you know a specific shelf life?
-
Oh wow Didn't think that it would pan out well. But it does!

olive oil you cook with?

That is such an amazing idea! i use up alot of money on wipes and now i don't have to and my Newborn baby Willow will be chemical free!

@kickdass123 I use dr bronners mild baby wash, fractionated, organic coconut oil, and a drop or 2 of lavender and chamomile essential oil...not fragrance oil. the coconut oil is a natural anti viral and heals babies skin so you shouldn't have a problem with skin dryness/irritation and it also has no toxic chemicals.

Lmao...hippies

@mrsfollett OH GOD don't use essential oil on babies. They are too concentrated and unnecessary. Babies don't need to be perfumed - natural scents or otherwise. You can use olive or almond oil if you need moisture.
hi. can i use any brand olive oil or some specific one,,,,and wid tat can i use johnson&j baby wash............plz help..........

@kickdass123 Any brand of olive oil is fine (organic preferred, but not a must). Johnson & Johnson is not my wash of choice. I opt to choose a baby wash that does not have toxic chemicals. To find a safe baby wash, visit EWG's Skin Deep database:
Hope you love the wipes ;-)

Wouldn't using baby wash/soap leave a residue on baby's skin that would then again have to be wiped off so it doesnt dry on and irritate baby's skin?

@DawnMarie81 I use Earth Mama Angel Baby Shampoo & Body Wash to make my wipes and it doesn't leave a residue at all. Now, I can't say that about other soaps as I have not used any other product to make my wipes. The great thing about this recipe is that it is completely customizable and if you feel it leaves too much of a residue, you can use less soap....if you feel it is too oily, use less oil...it's up to you.
Hope you enjoy ;-)

@mrsfollett 1-2 drops should suffice.
