One of things that had worked like a charm is making my own diaper spray and using a natural ever so simple product when changing my son’s diaper. These items have become my go-to products which have worked wonderfully and that I am happy to share with you.
Always looking for inexpensive and natural alternatives to incorporate in my life, naturally my son’s diaper routine also fell into that category. Babies skin are so sensitive so it was very important for me to find a way of not having to constantly buy those thick white diaper creams which you cannot even pronounce the ingredients.
After a lot of research, I found this easy and inexpensive baby bum spray that has the best smell and…I don’t know if this is really because of the product… but my son has never had a rash. It is very sensitive and soothing on the skin.
So here is my easy diaper spray recipe:
1 TBSP of olive oil
1 TBSP of Dr. Bronner’s Organic Lavender Castille Soap Liquid
4 Cups of water
Mix together. Use in a spray bottle (there will be leftover liquid, keep aside to refill the spray bottle as needed, always mixing it before each use)
TIP*** I had bought the large 16oz Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Soap bottle and it was too much since 2 years later, I am still making this mix from the same bottle. So I linked to a smaller one which is even less expensive yet should still last a year.
So here are the steps for the wonderfully easy and natural diaper routine.
Diaper Routine:
- Clean the bum (use the spray if it is only pee, if it is more… then wipe the excess with a baby wipe or use toilet paper then use the spray to clean the bum). You will also need some cloths to pipe dry the area. I use these natural cloths as seen in the below picture to wipe the bum after spraying it.
- Hydrate the bum and around the front area with a little coconut oil.
- Put a new diaper
- All done!
