wipe solution recipes??
I need a good recipe for a wipe solution... I've been using just plain water in a spray bottle or a little baby bath and water in one. The water just doesn't seem to work anymore bc the poops are getting bad and the soap leaves residue!

Re: wipe solution recipes??
I just started adding witch hazel to our solution instead of soap and it is working great! Some folks dont like the smell but I kinda do. You can always add essential oils to cover it up. Here is what my wipe sol is right now.
1.5c (boiled)water, 1/2c witch hazel, 1T Burt's Bees nourishing oil (smells SO good!), 3drops each GSE and TTO as yeast preventative since LO is prone to it. My TTO has lavender in it which adds an extra nice smell.
