Using just plain lukewarm water works really well on a cloth nappy wipe. However, if you prefer you can try one of gentle cloth wipe solution recipes. Always dab a small amount of a new solution onto your baby's tummy and wait 24 hours before using as a wipe solution in case of skin reaction.

Gentle Cleansing Recipe for Everyday Use:
1 jam jar of warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon gentle liquid baby soap
1 tea spoon of witch hazel
You can add a drop of lavender pure essential oil for babies over 6 months old.

Soothing, Cooling Recipe for sensitive skin (great for nappy rash):
Brew a mug of organic chamomile tea and leave it cool with the teabag still in the mug. When the tea is cool mix in a tablespoon of olive oil. If your baby has a bit of soreness, I've found that this works extremely well to clear it up. I've even been known to put the teabag inside the nappy on the affected area, it works wonderfully but can be a bit of a shock when you come to change the nappy if you forget it is there!

Aloe Vera Wipes Recipe (Great for Sensitive Skin):
3 parts lukewarm water
1 part aloe vera gel

All of our recipes can be kept in a bottle (a jam jar is ideal as you can mix the wipe solution in one and give it a really good shake!) for 4-5 days in the fridge. You can also put the solution into an empty, scrupulously clean spray bottle and spray it onto the cloth wipe to wet it when necessary.
