I plan on using cloth diapers with this little one, who by the way is due today! Owen, you can come on out now. Anyway, when Michael was a baby, I didn't have a washing machine and decided against cloth. With this one I plan on making a go of it. A friend of mine is lending me her newborn diapers! Woo-hoo! And I plan on purchasing the next size up.
So, I decided to make some cloth wipes out of old receiving blankets and some solid color flannel fabric I had lying around. I hope 30 will be enough!
I'm going to be making my own wipe solution using this recipe.
Aloe Vera Wipe Solution
1/4 c. aloe vera gel
2 drops tea tree oil
2 c. hot water
stir or shake until this recipe is well mixed. Spritz on wipes using a spray bottle. I found this recipe here, along with many others.
So Owen, we're ready for you! Come on out now!

Homemade wipes and diapers are the best! Have a peaceful, powerful, pleasurable birth.
ReplyDeleteHi! I was due June 27 too! My baby boy was born June 29 and I've been wishing I had cloth wipes so I could put them in the laundry bag with the cloth dipes. This is my first time with cloth dipes and I'm loving not having blowouts! Anyway, I wanted inspiration on how to make my own wipes. Thanks for your post!
