My question is: Since I don't use liners in my diapers, is it safe to use the wipe solution recipe you posted? I am worried that the baby wash and baby oil could cause my diapers to repel. I would love it if this is not the case though-love the smell! Also, one of my "cannot live withouts" is my diaper sprayer-you should definitely try one! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152440028221378094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-77587129765053274462009-08-26T01:07:31.602-04:002009-08-26T01:07:31.602-04:00Lynnskitchen:

However, after digging into this a bit further I've found that the way the diaper rash cream is formulated it's water soluble so the lanolin washes away and doesn't stay in the cloth diapers. <br /><br />I do know lanolin is great for healing, especially wounds - so I definitely understand why they would want to use it. Apparently Grandma El's rash ointment also uses lanolin in the formula and that has been confirmed as cloth diaper friendly!<br /><br />Glad I learned something new today! I hope this helps!Cloth Diaperer Extraordinairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267839534538085894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-77108453165690306702009-08-24T16:10:28.778-04:002009-08-24T16:10:28.778-04:00I checked out the California Baby product you ment...I checked out the California Baby product you mentioned in this post.

This i...Stacy Whalen: Fleece wicks away moisture. This is why fleece is used as a stay dry liner inside diapers. While fleece is used as a diaper cover - it does NOT repel the moisture from the diaper underneath - this is why you have to be a bit more cautious when you're using fleece soakers/covers because they still can get wet/damp. The purpose of fleece covers is to draw the moisture from the diaper and away from baby so they are dry underneath.<br /><br />Jenney: You can use water only for your wipes; many people do. If your little one has sensitive or dry skin then a little moisturizer (in the form of oil - either olive oil, jojoba oil, apricot oil, etc...) will help restore moisture to the skin rather than dry it out as water alone can typically do.<br /><br />Stacey Ho: The best fleece would be micro-fleece. However, I've personally been able to use standard fleece- just being sure to use the thinnest fleece you can find (otherwise, it will take longer to wick through the fleece and can result in leaks for a super soaker of a child). <br /><br /><br />Laura: Usually the musty smell in a wipe warmer is because the wipes/solution has been sitting for a tad too long. Try making a new batch every day rather than one large batch that will last for a few days. Also, if you consider adding a little tea tree oil and lavender - that will help fight the bacteria that is inevitable when you have water and warmth and ward off the musty smell. <br /><br />Alternatively, you can use the wipe warmer without the warming feature (simply unplug the unit) and use it as a glorified wipe storage (this is how I use our wipe warmer). <br /><br />Hope this helps ladies!<br />-SerenaCloth Diaperer Extraordinairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267839534538085894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-75716443016658104052009-08-06T10:43:50.781-04:002009-08-06T10:43:50.781-04:00i'm loving that you made your own liners. this...i'm loving that you made your own liners. this is something i've considered making (out of some old fleece pjs that i will never wear again)and now i'm thinking i need to try it.<br />i haven't ever used a wipe warmer. snapdragon hasn't ever seemed to care one way or another just how cold or hot his wipes may be!Sleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649221624958002039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-86076126280674011112009-08-05T23:11:22.043-04:002009-08-05T23:11:22.043-04:00I always wondered if it was possible to make your ...I always wondered if it was possible to make your own liners!!

I am treating a yeast rash and dealing with buildup right now, so that is a perfect solution for now, and for when my daughter starts solid foods (we can't flush liners b/c we're on septic).
