Anna, plain water is all that’s really needed for baby, and this is the safest way to ensure there is no transfer or damage to the diapers. But if you want to use more than water, skip the carrier oils and just add a few drops of an essential oil to plain water. This should be safe enough to wash with all cloth diapers. Any wipe solution is usually okay with cotton diapers (prefolds for example) but polyester diapers, such as pocket diapers, could be a problem.

Regardless, we would suggest you check with the manufacturer of the diapers you are using to ensure you won’t be voiding any warranty you have by using any solution other than water. Some manufacturers are very particular about what can or cannot be used with their diapers.

I hope this helps!

Anna, that’s a great question. I haven’t had a problem with mine, but I also didn’t use the oily solutions on my wipes. I just used water with a few drops of essential oil. Would you mind asking on the Facebook page to see if anyone else has had a problem oily wipes solution creating a barrier? http://www.facebook.com/ParentingByNature

Is it safe to wash the wipes with your cloth diapers? I am worried about the oil in the wipe solution creating a barrier on them.

Thanks!
Anna

my husband just posted this, and it didn’t go through, so trying again …

Thanks @angela. appreciate that distinction, though I’m still trying to figure out how to apply it when looking for drops …

My wife had a baby a few months ago, and we were at first skeptical when the Dr. said we should give the baby drops every day. But, our midwives agreed, and so we started doing it. We ended up getting the drops with the least chemicals / extra ingredients possible (I don’t remember offhand what they were called). But I’m now going to check out the ones the author recommends as well.

Thanks for the informative post. Its amazing just how much information there is out there – and of course you have to absorb it just when you have the least time EVER! : )
