Two years ago I did a post on the baby wipes solution that I use. I have been using this wipes solution ever since and swear by it. I have spoken to a few people and they mention how their solution has gone mouldy due to how they use the product. What most people do is fill a container with cloth wipes and then pour the solution over the top I use this product a little differently. I buy good quality rosewater and witch hazel in 1L containers to keep me going for six months or so.
Baby wipes solution
2 cups water
4 T rosewater
4 T witch hazel
I use an old jar with markings on it so I don’t have to measure the solution out every time.
So my real trick to using this solution is to have a container that I pour some of the solution into and then I simply dip my cloth wipes into the solution every time we need to change John’s nappy. The solution and wipes stay fresh and are ready whenever they are needed. I love this solution and wouldn’t be without it. What do you like to use?
So first time mum to a 4 month old here and we are just using cloths and tap water… Have had no problems so far, what are the advantages of using a solution?
So just clicked through to previous article (duh) and will give this a go if we get the dreaded nappy rash!
I like using the solution for it’s anti bacterial and calming properties. I also feel it is calming on my boy’s bottoms especially after poops. Mx
Hi Just wondering where you source your witch hazel and rose water from? Thanks
Hello, in NZ you can buy it from lotus oils http://www.lotusoils.co.nz/specials/witch-hazel-50ml or soapcraft http://www.soapcraft.co.nz/shop/raw-materials/witch-hazel-distillate-14-.html have fun Mx
My baby got a bit red with the Wendyl Nissen recipe, so now I brew a small cup of chamomile tea, put it in a spray bottle and use it that way (with dry wipes). It’s working really well!
What a great solution! Good for you. I’m glad this chemical free option is working for you. M x
Hey how many wipes does that recipe cover?
