Make it: Craft your own baby wipes with Smq Organics

Smq Organics specializes in handmade organic and eco-friendly Crib Sheets and Accessories. Two of our most popular products are Organic Bummy Wipes & Organic Soy Baby Wash Cloths (which can also be used as a Bummy Wipe).
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.
