  1. Herbal Milk Washbag Soap

    • This homemade soap is great for your baby's soft soft skin. You will need to purchase several muslin bags. To make the soap, mix together 1 lb. corn starch, 3 cups goats milk powder, 1/4 cup lavender powder, 1/4 cup calendula petal powder, 1/2 cup chamomile powder and 7-10 drops of essential oils. Blend them together until you have a creamy mixture. Fill a muslin bag with a small amount of the mixture. When you bathe your infant, dip the muslin bag into the water and gently rub it over the baby's body.

    Honey Milk Baby Lotion

    • You can make a gentle baby lotion that will last in the refrigerator for about one week. This is an easy process that results in a chemical-free lotion for your baby. All you need is 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of milk. Put the honey and milk into a pot and cook it on low heat. Stir this mix until the two ingredients are blended completely together. Take it off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Put this mixture into a glass jar and refrigerate. After this mixture has cooled completely, it will be ready to use.

    Lavender Baby Lotion

    • You can make a lavender baby lotion out of a few simple ingredients. Mix 225g of petroleum jelly with 30 drops of lavender oil, 30 drops of chamomile oil and 9 tsp. of olive oil. This will take a while to mix, and works best if mixed by hand with a fork. You do not need to heat this mixture. Once you have mixed all ingredients together by hand, refrigerate this in a glass jar for a few hours. You can use this batch for up to 2 weeks.
