Diaper Rash Spray

L is very prone to diaper rashes. I have pinpointed a few things that I know cause them and I avoid them, but I haven't figured out all the causes. Whenever he gets a rash I find it difficult to get him cleaned up w/o making a big mess, until now. I saw a diaper rash spray product at Target the other day. I thought it was such a great idea, but didn't want to drop $8 on the small-ish bottle. I decided I would try to make my own spray and if it didn't work I'd buy what I saw at the store. I found a recipe for homemade baby wipes online. I also found a recipe for diaper rash spray. I looked at both recipes, merged them into one recipe and made something that works for us. It is so handy! I happened to have two spray bottle on hand. I divided the mixture and poured a little into each bottle so I can keep one bottle upstairs and one downstairs.

Diaper Rash Spray

2 cups water

1 TBSP baby oil

2 TBSP baby shampoo/body wash (a 2-in-1 product used on baby's hair & body)

Spray bottle

Paper Towel

Combine liquid ingredients in a measuring cup that has a pouring spout in it. Pour into spray bottle. Spray on baby's bottom and wipe away with paper towel.
