I'm a bad Mom and use the store bought wipes, but this sounds like such a great alternative both environmentally and safer for babs!

I just put a glop of it in there, like you would any other bath oil.Michelle Constantinescuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927443258162528366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754469.post-70201717199680722742007-05-08T07:36:00.000-04:002007-05-08T07:36:00.000-04:00Laura, my experience with the oil is that as long ...Laura, my experience with the oil is that as long as it's mixed in the water, it's pretty lightweight. Soaking the diapers in vinegar water is good too, but I like the idea "the raw and the cooked" gives because that's got to smell nice too! I think that would probably work well on the cloths I use for wipes as well - I'll give it a try! <BR/><BR/>Jennifer, I started out using the paper towel idea too. But it got to be a pain cutting all those rolls in half! It's worked really well - I'm saving on money and waste. Let me know how you like it!Michelle Constantinescuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927443258162528366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754469.post-5589176890088844282007-05-07T21:37:00.000-04:002007-05-07T21:37:00.000-04:00Wow, that's a great tip!

Tea Tree is also effective. It's also antibacterial.<BR/><BR/>Laura,<BR/>Yes the oil can build up on the cloth. You could put the solution in water. You would have a water based tincture. I used cloth diapers. <BR/><BR/>For heavily soiled diapers I would add 2-4 drops each of the essential oils tea tree and lavender to a pail, fill with water and let them soak. Then I would wash them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754469.post-61704758659802038162007-05-07T19:19:00.000-04:002007-05-07T19:19:00.000-04:00Girlfriend, you have the greatest ideas!

Would the oil build up on the cloth? We cloth diaper and sometimes get rashes and have to either let the wee ones run around bare naked a bit (risking accidents) or switch to a disposable for cream action. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090547844237303579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754469.post-44265319238479483482007-05-07T09:30:00.000-04:002007-05-07T09:30:00.000-04:00Absolutely gorgeous photograph and interesting inf...Absolutely gorgeous photograph and interesting information to boot :) Found you through Opal.jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594817524748598741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754469.post-4234036608156740552007-05-07T07:02:00.000-04:002007-05-07T07:02:00.000-04:00You are a plethora of information.
