Cloth wipes?

[Sara Noel]

I have seen many posts on HM baby wipes, but has anyone made their own cloth wipes? You could use cut up receiving blankets, sherpa, velour, or baby washcloths. You can mix the same solution as HM disposable wipes too or mix something more natural from Dr. Bronner's or Burt's bees. You can store the wipes dry and dampen with a premix in a spray bottle or mix and store in a recycled baby wipes container. They can be cut anywhere in size from 6"-8"

Can use water, a squirt of Dr. Bronner's soap and a little Burt's Bee's Apricot Baby oil or a squirt of any type of baby oil and baby wash and some water or 8 oz water, capful Baby Bee Apricot Oil, couple drops Lavender eo, couple drops tea tree oil or 4 cups water 3 Tbl of oil 1 Tbl. of baby bath 4 drops of lavender essential oil 4 drops of tea tree essential oil

There are lots of combos. You can do a search on HM baby wipes and come up with more solutions too.
Lots of places sell Bronner and Burt's Bees products online, but Johnson's would work.

I like the spray bottle idea. Could you just spray onto a clean, dry cloth and wipe?

I think baby wipes are weird to use anyways because they are always COLD! and baby wipe warmers aren't good because they make germs grow, right?
