Using Reusable Wipes
Are you feeling comfortable cloth diapering and would like to have your own reusable wipes? It s so easy! Here s how we did it!
What you need:
- Sealing water resistant container (we used an old disposable wipe container)
- Wipes (you can buy Kissaluvs terry wipes at Milagros or just use flannel squares, thin infant wash cloths, we ve even used washed disposable wipes!)
- Jug of distilled water (plain tap water doesn t cut it eventually gets moldy trust me)
- Tea tree oil (antibacterial properties nice!)
- Lavender essential oil (mmmm pretty )
Place the wipes in the container you will use for storing. In a separate container or bowl mix the distilled water with the oils (a few drops to each cup of water you will be using). Pour the mixture over your wipes and you are set! You can even take some in a resealable plastic bag for trips away from home. We use about two cups of this solution for a full container of wipes. Go for it, mommas! You can do it!
