Hi There; I make my own Goat wipes and love it. Here is the receipe for you.
Goat Wipes; Homemade baby wipes
1 tbsp. baby oil
2 tsp. dawn dish washing soap( It has to be dawn)
2 cups water
5 drops tea tree essential oil
5 drops lavender essential oil.
mix well and store in airtight container. Large plastic coffee can works great.
Food storage container that will hold a roll of paper towels that have been cut in half. Use only bounty
Cut roll in half with bread knife. Remove cardboard tube.
Place the half paper towel roll into the container, remove it, turn it over, and place it back in. To use your wipes. Remove them from the center of the rolls.
Enjoy! This is my favorite wipes for my girls.

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.

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,

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