Diaper Rash Cream

Full of parental paranoia and worry I decided to also make some diaper cream. If you cloth diaper do not apply this to your childs' bottom and then put them into the cloth diaper. The oils will keep the cloth from doing its absorbent job and void any warranty your diaper may still have. Use a diaper liner to protect the diaper. Then you have a layer between baby booty, oil, and the cloth of your diaper.

To make it I took a little bit of coconut oil,

Put it into a bowl and did my best to stir it until it was "whipped" in texture,

then I added a bit of my baby powder. Mix the two together until you get a reasonable texture.

Store in an airtight container.

Diaper cream, made at home, chemical and talc-free!

Pintesting - Talc-Free Baby Powder

Little Lamb's diaper rash was still lingering and I couldtn' have that so it was time to make some baby powder.

Today's pintest comes via this pin and the information found here.

I got all my stuff together but when I looked at the ingredients list again it looked like I had the option of cornstarch OR arrowroot powder and I'm a bit stingy with my arrowroot powder.

½ cup corn starch
1 tablespoon dried ground chamomile
1 tablespoon dried ground lavender
¼ cup finely ground oats

I put all of the ingredients into my food processor and pulsed until I felt that my chamomile and lavender should have been sufficiently ground.

Then I got out an old baby food jar. As well as a hammer and nail.

Hammer holes into the top of the baby food lid.

Put the mix in the jar.

And that's it! The mix smelled heavenly.

I put the remainder of my baby powder in another jar. I saw no sense it puncturing the top of another jar - this one was going to do the job just fine.
