It's these types of moms who think that essential oils do everything.. And in fact , they actually cause more harm. I listen to someone.Tell me that I could put essential oil in my humidifier when my kid was sick. She ended up in the e r with severe breathing problems. When I told the Doctor that her cough got worse with the humidifier, he said.What kind of humidifier do you have?I then told him what kind and that I put essential oil in it.And he basically slapping me across the face.And said well that's why your child's in the emergency room.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

depends on what oil and how much you were using too... also if it was an ultrasonic you may not have been properly cleaning it or using tap water. its easy to cause infections from those not being sanitized. essential oils are like drugs a person cant just do whatever you want and think its safe

[@MzEllaful]

Are you using distilled water? If not, you're putting a bunch of minerals in the air, which is terrible for the respiratory system.

[@ikulata3408]

Bleached paper is toxic... I am a biologist and when you wet bleached paper towel you basically take out all the chemicals out of the paper towel and rub it all around. Frankly these chemicals are not harmful for you just like wet wipes are not since you are not a single cell. These small amount of toxic chemicals can harm a single cell. But not you since you have a free detoxification system in your body called a liver and kidneys. Plus the mixture you're making is very good for the bacteria and mold that can actually harm you and your baby. baby wipes are perfect for babies skin as we know their exact pH and bacteria and fungus not being able to grow in it. Lemon has a pH so low that can actually burn the skin. It's natural. Natural doesn't mean good. Bleached paper towel is the last thing you want next to your baby's skin. Buy the damn wet wipes or if you really want to do it do it with real towels. This way no bacteria and fungi can grow. Edit: So someone is deleting my comments so I will simply answer from here. Dear gracepisano, Why you always talk about something that i don't even mention? You do you boo. You dissect plants i work with radiation biology. Just because you don't research doesn't make it false. Yes I have said bleached paper is the last thing you want on your baby's skin because you can just wash the poo instead of wiping it with essential oil. I guess you have never seen the effects of essential oils on human skin. I frankly have seen it and it's not what I want on my baby's skin. Let alone those papers when wet and waiting in a closed area god knows what grows in there. She prepares this in a room. (not in a lab) There's no flame next to the wet paper. So you guessed it, everything is falling down on it, including bacteria. And as she closes the bag anaerobic bacteria will definitely grow. From where ? The fallen down ones(1) because absence of flames and her hands not having gloves(2). Plus she is breathing and talking on it. The bacteria from the mouth(3) is also going in there why, no mask, plus the bleaching process is a unknown thing. I don't want to wet it and get all the bleaching chemicals on my babies skin. About the diapers being the best place for bacterial growth yes you are correct my fellow biologist but my point was not that lol. What if you want to clean the face or the hands just like she's doing in the Video.? The baby gets the bacteria from the home made wipes puts in in her mouth or eyes and the bacteria gets into the eye. I am eagerly waiting for your response. Plus have you seen a paper showing that after opening baby wipes, the wipes grow bacteria in them and they should not be used? Don't you know how to grow a seed without growing mold on it miss dissection? I don't think you do. Read your books again before commenting on my posts instead of being a keyboard warrior and making assumptions about me. End of my answer.

I have seen EO melt plastic with direct contact, and essential oils do not mix with water so if a cluster of oil gets onto the baby's skin, it can irritate it badly. Please don't be obtuse, just use warm water if you don't want to use wipes.

[@bia.M]

as others have said, those wipes are not safe to use on your infant. however, if you still plan on using them, please avoid storing the wipes in that container if you are covering it with the wooden lid. Wood is porous and can easily absorb the moisture from the wipes, potentially causing mold growth if kept damp for an extended period

I would never in a gazillion years use soap or oils on a baby’s bottom or genitalia area. Very common in the UK to use cotton wool & warm water. Nothing else is ever needed. Why are you putting soap on her?! That’s the last thing you should be putting on a sensitive baby’s skin.

I came to say this was stupid but you guys already got it covered 😂

[@CoolCatCaramel]

Yes! I did this for my first son about 10 years ago. I should do this again for my 3rd. It's a great way to save money

[@luce2498]

Just get some washcloths and distilled water, as it's a lot safer. Also if your baby gets a rash, breastmilk will help it heal

[@felipebiggi]

Idk what mom needs to read this, but women used to raise children in caves and we made it till today lol Baby's are not fragile or super sensitive, they're actually super resilient. Just love and care for them without overthinking it and listen to pediatricians lol

What is the paper towels made of though?

[@sushmitabose2520]

Dont know what is good and what is toxic but what i know that the baby is very very very cute, lovely and loads of love to her

[@user-ze9ds2rv9b]

I’m sure the creator has done her research so this is directed to the comment section: make sure you research the essential oils before using them! Not everything pure and natural is safe and non-toxic. Always check before using it on your baby, especially in extra sensitive areas

[@luce2498]

If she has done her research then she should know that this is extremely dangerous. Essential oils could give the baby a UTI, food poisoning or even brain damage. The kitchen wipes are bleached so there's that. And then on top of it they could grow mold and also give the baby food poisoning or lung issues. This practice would be considered child abuse in many countries. If she is worried about toxicity she's taking the whole wrong approach. A washcloth with distilled water would've been a better alternative

[@shaindyhorowitz3783]

Love it! Regular wipes irritate my little ones skin!

[@salamilidaintgonfit7576]

This will likely be much worse, as the paper towels are rough, full of bleach, essential oils can irritate and give yeast infections, etc. this is not the way

[@jiliciar.1423]

​@@salamilidaintgonfit7576 Thanks for spreading the info.

I only add the coconut oil and store them in a plastic zip lock. They are fantastic, no rash burn on babies tush either.

You go momma! It can be so hard to find products that you know actually what is in it and when you do they can be so expensive!

I used to do that too! Didnt know to use Witch Hazel or essential oils to it. Cool

Aw shes soooo cute❤❤

[@lmusser9419]

Do you know if your paper towels are non toxic?

[@clairethompson1222]

No this is my way 1. Get baby wipes from the store

[@RimshaKazmi080]

If you are from south asia, best to use fresh water. Yes, just after 40 days we start washing our baby's body after every diaper change. In winters luke warm water is used then a thin layer of olive or mustard oil. No need to use chemicals at all. In my city it never gets too cold even in winters so it is totally safe to wash the baby's butt.

[@luce2498]

I did this because I didn't know how to change mine without getting dirty. She never gets nappy rash this way and it's way better:)

[@RimshaKazmi080]

@@luce2498 I believe sticking to nature is always the safest.

Thank you, so grateful for this recipe.❤

[@tammyturner5507]

I’m impressed by the knife itself cutting through the paper towels..😮

[@vickiel914]

I did this 25 years ago, and used 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons baby soap and baby oil. We didn't have coconut oil or essential oils back then. A mild baby bath, and baby oil was all we had. It worked just fine!

[@bohemianbookworm9361]

Looks at that cuteeee chunky baby 🥰
