Alhamdulillah we manage to 'produce' our own home made natural baby bath that is free of dangerous chemicals :) It's shocking to really know that most of the branded baby products contains so many chemicals which are harmful to the baby. These product are not so harmful to us adults, but are to babies since these new comers absorb 6 times more chemicals into their body compared to us.
This is our so called baby bath, with a few drops of green tea & lemon fragrance .
We keep the mixture in Pureen's BPA free bottle. Our son didnt bottlefeed - the bottle is a gift from our friend.
Be very careful to the essential oil's ingredients - make sure it has no mineral oil. Mineral oil is not organic. It may cause few allergies to skin. Few baths at the market contains lots of mineral oils, and chemical products The pure natural essential oil can be bought at Body Shop.
The recipe:
1/2 cup of milk powder - we used fernleaf milk powder
1/4 cup cornstarch - we used brown and polson's cornstarch
few drops of essential oil
1/2 cup of finely blended oat (good for skin, especially if you have chickenpox. but we didnt mix in oat yet)
How to use it:
Sprinkle the baby bath mixture into the bathtub, mix well with the warm water. And bath your baby. Your baby will smell good with essential oil plus milk mixtures.If your baby sweat later, the smell wont fade out! Our baby sweat a lot. The mixture helps to hind the sour smell from his sweat~
Owh, this is the essential oil we bought from Body Shop @ Mesra Mall, Kerteh... Quite costly for a small bottle of fragrance. But since it is NATURAL, why not?
Sprinkle some of the baby bath mixture into bathtub where you bath your baby. The water will look like milk bath - just as what you experience at spa.
To those who are still thinking twice about going NATURAL, please do some research on the harmless chemicals you can find at the back of you baby products. I believe we want the best for our child, right?
