If you looked at my bathroom countertops, you\u2019d see them littered with natural skincare products. While there are plenty of healthy, natural products on the market now, I still like making my own sometimes. And when my kids were babies, I made almost all of their baby care products.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not ready to jump on the DIY deodorant<\/a> and toothpaste<\/a> bandwagon just yet, you might want to try your hand at making baby care recipes. It\u2019s an easy way to make sure that they\u2019re using simple, natural ingredients that are gentler on sensitive skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their little skin absorbs what we put on it, and opting for homemade products can be an easy solution. These are the recipes I used on my own kids when they were little. I also give them to friends when they have babies.<\/p>\n

Natural Diaper Rash Cream- Cloth Diaper Safe!<\/h2>\n

I started cloth diapering <\/a>with my third child and I\u2019m so glad I switched! Not only is it much cheaper, but it\u2019s more natural and much easier than I expected. I had heard too many horror stories about the old-school cloth diapers from older relatives. Thanks to cloth diapers and better nutrition, my babies very rarely had diaper rash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, on the rare occasion baby poops during the night and doesn\u2019t wake up until morning or gets a rash while in the car seat on a trip, it can be a little tougher with cloth diapers.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Some conventional diaper creams can\u2019t be used with cloth diapers. And some ingredients will even void any warranty on the cloth diapers. Anything with petroleum jelly or cod liver oil can coat the diaper and prevent it from absorbing properly. After much research (and trial and error), I finally created a diaper cream that\u2019s cloth diaper safe and works as well as the medicated versions. For extra soothing care, infuse the coconut oil with calendula and chamomile flowers first!<\/p>\n

Baby Oil Baby Care Recipe<\/h2>\n

Regular baby oil is petroleum based and most are packed with artificial fragrances!<\/a> You can always use plain coconut oil<\/a>, but making an infused oil adds extra soothing ingredients and speeds skin healing. Calendula and chamomile are both calming to irritated skin and have anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.<\/p>\n
