Here's what I use for shampoo. It's not for everybody but it works for me. 

1 bar grated soap

4 cups hot or boiling distilled water

1 tablespoons coconut oil

• SAME DIRECTIONS AS ABOVE 

I triple this one and store it in a gallon jug.

I also have a particular soap recipe that I use specifically for homemade Baby Wipes Solution!

OH, and let's not forget the "Hand Cleaner"

1 bar grated soap 

2 cups hot or boiling distilled water

1-2 tablespoons Orange or Lemon Infused Oil

Baby Wipes Solution

Baby Wipes Solution

1/4 cup oil (Melted Coconut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Olive Oil, etc.)

1/4 cup baby wash (I use the liquid soap recipe below)

4 cups distilled water

You could add a couple drops of lavender and/or tea tree essential oil if you wanted. I don't.

I am reusing a Huggies wipes container

I use cut up clothing for washable/reusable wipes

I keep an ice cream bucket with a little soapy water to put dirty wipes in so they don't stain and I wash them daily

Using a gallon jug to make some ahead:

3/4 cup oil

3/4 cup soap

12 cups water

Just give it a shake before you pour it into your wipes container

Note:

After I originally posted this we started using cloth diapers with the snap covers so our ice cream bucket grew to a larger covered bucket. I am adding this because I noted that we used cut up rags for reusable wipes. We have also used (larger) rags for the diapers (the cloths that go inside the snap covers). It works and it's way cheaper than buying extra diapers or liners! We wash the bucket of diapers every other day. It's NOT a pleasant job but has saved us tons of money!

I make the following recipe for use in my wipes solution.

1 bar grated soap

12 cups hot water (boiled or distilled)

grate bar of soap

put in covered container with 12 cups hot water

let set 24 hrs

Store in gallon jug

Nasal Rinse Saline Solution

For Those of you have already seen this, I apologize. I am learning how to use a new social sharing app with my Blogger account and I do think I've figured it out.

I'm Spring cleaning. Which means many of my posts that were here have been reverted back to drafts. It was such a mess! Here's to New Beginnings!

Nasal Rinse Saline Solution

2 cups distilled water

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

• microwave for 1 min. 
• Mix it up to spread the heat evenly, so you don't burn yourself. I use a large baby bulb syringe, suck the water up and squirt it back in a few times.
• Using the baby bulb syringe, tip you head forward and to the opposite side of the nostril which you'll be squirting the saline in and squirt the full contents of the syringe in, alternating sides.

I make mine by the gallon as I am a faithful nasal rinse user.

TO MAKE A GALLON OF SALINE, I:

• Make one dose of saline as above
• Add 1 tablespoon each of sea salt and baking soda to the jug
• Shake before use
