Baby Wipes and Tea Tree

I don't know about you but I go through a lot of wipes and I have a BOY! I can just imagine what it's like for mom's with daughters. I've already heard from a friend in Hawaii how it's went with her.  The thing I love is tea tree oil. The real stuff, not imitation.

It's antibacterial, antifungal and it smells good. At least to me. Once to twice a week I take one of my old wipes boxes and about 6 wash rags - set those aside

In a bowl pour in enough water that will soak your washrags in the wipes box, but not where they are soaking wet and dripping. I think I use about 1 1/2 cups of water. Then I take Johnson&Johnson lavender baby wash and pour in about a tablespoon of that, and 3 drops of tea tree oil. MAKE sure you only use that amount, it's very potent.

I mix those and then pour it into the wipes box. Place the rags in there and get them all good and wet. If you notice they aren't damp then just add more water.

Then that day I use a couple of wipes to get the majority of the mess or urine off. I finally use one of the wash rags on the baby. It keeps them extra clean, it fends off rash(make sure they dry completely before putting the new diaper on or pat them dry with another washcloth) and like I said it's antifungal and antibacterial. It smells great too.

Just another way to beat the diaper rash and you can use this as your only wipes if you so wish. But you're gonna need more than just 6 wash rags ;)

Note: Please be careful about using tea tree oil around little girls private parts, make sure you only use the rags on the outside of their genital area
