Do you buy your oils on-line? Can you suggest a site to buy them from?

I just use water and soap and haven't had a problem. I don't like to use anything with harsh chemicals because I let my kids nurse from there moms.
Debra, Thank you for that recipe! I am always up for new things!
Hugs,

I buy teat dip, cause it is easy for me to get at the farm store. I don;t use it if I have a calf nursing on her. Mine is a non-iodine base dip.
If there is a good homemade dip, I would like to find a recipe to make.
