Hey Mommies !
Today’s post is very special for me as I was waiting to share my Ultimate guide for DIY Diaper wipes with all you lovely ladies.
As a new mom , I was always anxious of what to use and what not to use for my babies and I am sure you can relate with me.
This was a much more difficult task for my first born as we were first time parents with no elders around and her skin was also very dry since birth.My husbands family have a history of dry and sensitive skin so when it came to applying anything directly on my baby’s skin it was scrutinized thoroughly.
During the first few days when Maanya (my first born) was born she use to poop a lot and as she had dry skin I was advised not to rinse regularly and most of the ready to use wipes which are available in the market contains may contain Alcohol or chemicals like Parabens and Phenoxyethanol which could irritate her already sensitive skin.
To solve this problem I spoke to my mother in law as my husband also had sensitive skin when he was young and she said the solution to my problem was very easy and I had to start making cotton wipes at home.
Materials required for making diaper wipes:-
-
- Medical Cotton
- Lavender essential oil – or any other of you choice (optional)
- Stainless steel container
- Warm water
Method of making diaper wipes:-
- Take some cotton and with the help of your hands roll it into a flat round wipe
- Boil some water and let it cool down a bit.
- Once it is semi warm add 2 drops of Lavender Oil or any essential oil
- Give it a nice stir and add all the cotton wipes
- leave it for an hour to let cotton soak all the liquid
- Store these in a stainless steel box .
- Squeeze the water out while using it.
- You can prepare a fresh batch every 24 hours
Benefits :-
- Economical :-as all materials are readily available at home this is a cost effective alternative;
- Easy to make :- There is no rocket science attached to this, all you need is warm water and a little cotton.
- Easy to use :- you can customize the shape and size according to your needs.
- No wastage :- Since these wipes are made in regular batches they do not have a risk of drying out or being wasted.
- No harsh chemicals :- simple and natural products makes it completely safe and chemical free.
Wasn’t I right? these are very simple and basic things we can easily get at any household.
There are some wipes which I used after Maanya turned 1 year which suits her now.
I am a big fan of DIY solutions and you can find some more easy remedies below.

This is great and I just showed your ultimate guide for DIY diaper wipes to my wife because our close friends are having another baby in a week or two and need supplies. Plus, the mother is very much into essential oils so that fact that you included Lavender Oil into the directions is just that much better!
Thats great, congratulate you friends for me 😊
I remember my parents speaking about such thing, we tend to divulge into “brand” names or high end which might not suit the baby’s sensitive skin. I loved the concept you hsared for the DIY. Kudos!
I am not a very BRAND person, i believe in simple DIY stuff and hence I keep experimenting 😊 So glad you like the post 😊
I love that your recipe includes lavender essential oil. I tried making my own wipes when my kids were babies but I never liked the smell. I think this would have helped.
yes dear , adding any essential oil makes it smell good, I love the smell of lavender or lemon
It can be very difficult at times to find the best wipes or products to use on babies because of how sensitive their skin is, this diy wipes is very well thought out and can be of help to a lot of new mums.
So glad you liked it dear 😊

I bet they smell so lovely with the lavender oil! And they sound so much healthier than store bought wipes.
Yup! Lavender is my favourite essential oi, but any other oil can be used as per ones preference, my friend use to put lemon essential oil as she likes tangy smell !
