this stuff is truly amazing. huck's aunt tami made about 16 ounces of it for me back in february and for one thing, huck has not had one diaper rash. not one. for another, i am still using the original batch -- it lasts forever!
here's what's in it:
1 to 1 1/2 cups distilled water
1/4 cup aloe vera gel (tami used aloe vera juice)
1 tbs calendula oil
2 tsp baby shampoo
2-3 drops tea tree oil
2-3 drops lavender oil (or the essential oil of your choice. tami used orange oil in my batch. yum yum.)
it was so easy. she just mixed it all together, poured some in a spray bottle, and i've been keeping the rest in the fridge in a mason jar. tami also said that if huckleberry does ever get a diaper rash, i can add 1 tbs of vinegar to discourage yeast. voila! it's genious!
each time i change huck's diaper, i spray some of it on his you-know-what and all over his you-know-where. not only does the gentle mist smell great, it also aids in the wiping process (either in place of or in addition to regular baby wipes), soothes his skin, and gives him a little spritz, which he loves.
are you sold? not yet? ok, how about this . . . tami's tushy tonic. it's antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial. it's healing, homemade, and hardly any money. bare your baby's bottom and say bye bye to diaper rash forever. tami's tushy tonic: a soft, soothing skin spray for your petite's precious parts.
oh, one more thing. if you don't have diapers to change, don't fret. you can keep the spray in the fridge and use it as a cooling face and body spray or on insect bites to calm redness and itching. see, i told you. it's amazing.
