These cloths are a great way to keep your baby chemical free while reducing the impact of disposable wipes on our environment. They are also non-allergenic and will not irritate baby’s delicate skin. The wipes can be used with clean warm water or use the recipe below.

Homemade Baby Wipes Recipe

You will need:
Reusable cloth Squares or Wash Cloths
1 TbsP unscented all natural liquid soap
a couple of drops of Tea Tree Oil
a couple of drops of Lavender Oil
3/4 cups water
a suitable container with lid
 
Put the cloths in the container, then mix the remaining ingredients and pour the solution into the container.
 
Or make them the same way with the following household ingredients:
 
1 Tbsp unscented all natural baby shampoo, body wash or bubble bath liquid
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3/4 cups camomile tea

Get creative, but please don’t keep your solution for more than a couple of days. There are no preservatives, so it will spoil eventually.

I make my own baby wipes and solution and just love the recipe I use (very similar to yours actually!); it's on my blog. I learned that lavender and/or tea tree oil can be a hormone disruptor in baby boys: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/news/20070131/lavender-oil-may-spur-breasts-boys and stopped using both of those oils on myself and my baby.
