Easy Baby Wipes Solution For Better Health

By Essie Osborn


A new baby comes with many responsibilities and virtually endless expenses. There are so many things to purchase, aside from furniture and clothing, like car seats, strollers, high chairs, and hygienic products. With regards to the latter, parents can save money with a homemade baby wipes solution, and experience other benefits as well.

Opting for commercial products does bring convenience. However, this convenience also may put the child at risk. For example, the ingredients in these products are chemical-based, more often than not. This could lead to developing rashes, and ultimately creating great discomfort for the child. Beyond that, there is also questionable health risks that could be attached to them.

Since there does exist a great solution, avoid such commercial products entirely. Not only will parents save money, they will also avoid any negative impact on their health, since all the ingredients will be natural. What's more is that since they're so safe, they can also be effective on cleaning faces and hands, apart from just soiled bottoms. An interesting thing about them is that, custom-made, parents can scent them as they wish.

Make them with disposable paper towels or with soft cloth. Of course, disposable paper towels will have to be purchased time and again, but soft cloth can be reused, as a more cost-effective method. Paper towels, however, can also be cut to size for smaller messes.

The main ingredients typically include oil for softness, soap for cleansing of urine and feces, water, and essential oils. Essential oils are used to add a pleasant aroma, and for either antibacterial or aromatherapy purposes. Gently mix the solution into a bottle with a lid. When done, simply pour it into the storage container.

A good storage container is a recycled baby wipe container because it will help to keep the towelettes moist and protected from dirt or dust. The important thing to remember is that this is not a commercial product, so it will not have a long shelf life. Therefore, it's recommended to make smaller batches.

The preparation doesn't take long, so there really isn't any inconvenience in making a new batch. Aim for each batch to last no longer than two weeks. With regards to creative solutions, one may want to include chamomile or lavender oil, aloe, a gentle bath wash, and so on. The possibilities are endless.

When preparing them, don't exclude some ingredients that could soothe or calm inflamed skin. Such ingredients would be recommended for rashes for other types of inflammations. A rash that is continuously aggravated can become very painful for little ones, so be sure to avoid commercial products, should one arise.

Finally, choose soft or paper towels, as there are lots available on the market. When making a decision to live a healthier lifestyle and provide an infant with the best of all available, homemade products are always best. They posed no risks to health, and don't interfere with their underdeveloped immune system, so it's a good choice.
