Chapter 3, Baby

a) Baby Wipe Solution: Warm water is simplest. Anti-Fungal Baby Wipes :1 cup water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/4 cup Aloe Vera Gel, 1 tablespoon Calendula Oil, 2 drops Lavender or Chamomile Oil, 2 drops Tea Tree Oil or Grape Seed Extract. Mix in a jar and then pour over wipes. Store extra solution in the fridge.
This one is great for discouraging yeast diaper rashes because the vinegar and essential oils discourage yeast growth. Essentially Oils Recipe: 3 T jojoba oil, 1tsp tea tree oil, 1tsp chamomile oil, 1tsp lavender oil, 1tsp gernanium oil, 3/4 cup witch hazel. Mix in a spray bottle and spray wipes. Store extra solution in the fridge.
b) Baby Wipes:  Cut your fabric into squares or rectangles in the size you selected. You can leave the corners square or use a quarter to help round them. Zig-zag or serge all the way around the edge. Trim the threads and you're done! Congrats! You made a cloth diaper wipe! Tip: Use different thread colors or variegated thread for a more decorative look.

d) Baby Massage Oil: Recipe for Newborn to 6 months : You can use an organic oil such as olive or sunflower. Please be sure it is organic. When a baby is less than 1 year old, it is important to use only the gentlest essential oils. The only ones that I recommend are Lavender and Roman Chamomile. It is best if you can use organic essential oils.* Mix 1 drop of either Lavender or Roman Chamomile in 1 ounce of organic oil (olive or sunflower)* Pour into a glass bottle ( not plastic ) and keep away from the light when not in use.* Shake Gently before each use. ( This is because we didn’t add a chemical emulsifier )* It will keep for 3 months. Added Tip : This oil is also great for cradle cap. Just rub very  gently onto the scalp. Recipe for 6 months to 1 year :* Same as above except mix 2 drops of either Lavender or Roman Chamomile in 1 ounce of organic oil ( olive or sunflower ). Recipe for 1 – 3 years :* Mix 4-5 drops of of an essential oil in 1 ounce of organic oil (olive or sunflower) * You can choose any one of these essential oils : Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Geranium, Rose Otto,* Pour into a glass bottle ( not plastic ) and keep away from the light when not in use.* Shake Gently before each use.
( This is because we didn’t add a chemical emulsifier )* It will keep for 3 months.
