NEW BABY BATH WASH

Are you lucky enough to have a new baby in the family? Why not make this lovely, allnatural baby wash as a gift. New baby’s skin is extremely sensitive, so it’s of the utmost importance to keep all chemicals and fragrances away from it.

400ml water 4 tbsp grated 100% natural vegetable oil soap – I use Dr Bronner’s Baby Mild

80ml rosewater

20ml glycerine

10 drops lavender essential oil (do not add this for babies under three months old) Bring the water to the boil in a small saucepan, add the grated soap and stir until the soap has melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool until just warm. Add the remaining ingredient­s and pour into a bottle. Depending on the soap you use, it may cool into a gel or remain quite liquid. When squeezed into the bath, it won’t bubble but cleans and moisturise­s baby’s skin beautifull­y.
