Give them a try.

Reyna's skin is pretty sensitive. She is very prone to diaper rash and when she gets one, they usually turn into an infection. Emilie was telling me that her sister made her own baby wipes. I decided to give it a try. So far, so good. They are super easy and the best part? I know what is in them. I thought I would pass along the recipe if any of you were wanting to give them a try.

  • Take a roll of paper towel (I used bounty) and cut it in half. After you cut it, you should have two chunky sides.
  • This is where I altered it a little. Em's sister used a rubbermaid (No. 9) container, but I just used a big sturdy ziploc baggie. That way, I can store them right on the changing table.
  • Mix 2 cups of cold water, 2 Tablespoons of baby oil and 2 Tablespoons of baby wash into the bag.
  • After you mix it, take the paper towel and place it in the bag. Put the side that you cut face down into the mix.
  • Zip the bag up and flip it over and let it soak into the paper towel.
  • After it soaks in, you will be able to remove the brown paper roll out with ease.
  • When ready to use the baby wipes, pull from the inside and you will have a nice coil of wipes.

And there you have it. Homemade baby wipes. I love them!!!

OMG.

Please check this contraption out. I was cracking up when I came across this? What happened to just your everyday potty chair? I cannot imagine having a kiddie urinal sitting in my bathroom.

Why was I looking for potty chairs you ask?

Well, Reyna has been telling us when she poops. The other day, I was in my room getting dressed. She came into my room, looked at me and said, "poop, poop." Sure enough, she needed to be changed.

We are not planning on forcing her to start potty training, but we thought, "hey what the heck." Might as well, right?!

So, I am shopping for a potty chair.

Any suggestions? Do you use an actual potty seat for you kiddos or just the little seat that sits on the toilet? I don't know what to buy.
