Yaaaay! You're a hippie too! I thoroughly appreciated the comment about adjective vs. adverb usage (cheapLY, people!), as well as the one about how you thought Charlotte would be good for greasing up your egg-frying pan. That one brought on a hilarious mental picture.

Janie, you and Ryan and clearly uber-hippies. You take the definition of hippy to a whole new level.

Wow I feel dumb saying this but I never even thought of making my own wipes - I love the idea! May have to try this out on baby #3...whenever that may be of course. Thanks for the "recipe!"

We cloth diaper and love it! It has saved us a ton of money, too! We invested when Olivia was a baby and came to the conclusion that we only had to use them for 9 weeks straight to come out even. we still use them for Austin, 3.5 years later.

when the kids were younger, we used the same recipe for wipes, too(though with Rae's adaption). What I used to do, when I had good cloth wipes, was the make that solution and put it in a spray bottle. Spray their bottom, then wipe off. Is that what you're going to do with the flannel? Old t-shirts work well, too. :)

My friend Adrienne was making diapers for this co-op type company: http://www.bittyfluff.com/

Her daughter Caleigh's been wearing them since birth and she still keeps some disposables around for emergencies and being in the nursery at church, etc. (It's crazy how many people don't know how to change cloth diapers.)

The cutest thing about cloth diapers is the babies get a little bubble-butt. Haha. It's adorable. But it makes for needing to buy bigger pants...

So cool!!!! I LOVE that you are switching to cloth...After 2 months working at a baby home in Bolivia where all they have is cloth and rags I'm in love with the idea...

we'll see if whoever I end up with someday thinks it's such a cool idea :)

Rae, the baby oil is a great suggestion. Thanks!

And Rachel, I have researched and (probably) settled on Kissaluvs. Costly on the outset, but looks to be definitely worth it. Plus we'll have to invest in some wool covers and longies.

Thanks for the recipe. I"m looking for ways to cut costs too. I'd like to switch to cloth diapers but Nick is skeptical. What kind of cloth diapers are you looking into using? I want to try bumgenius 3.0.

2009-01-25T10:57:00.000-06:00

I have a similar recipe! Mine uses Johnson's (or generic) baby oil instead of olive (I just typed "Oliver") oil, which makes it a bit less costly. Just a suggestion!

Enjoy your fun Chicago day!
