I love using baking soda! Never thought of using it in the bath though – I’ll have to give that a shot tonight. And for the diaper rash too. We’ve switched over to cloth and it seems rashes start sooner because the wetness isn’t totally drawn from the skin, maybe a wipe down each change will help!!

Thanks for the tips!

Wow, I’d like to get that book too. It’s only a penny at Amazon but then there’s always that pesky shipping charge. humph. I’m working on a post on re purposing old clothes but I’m not sure if it’s going to be done for this week’s Thrifty Thursday.

I love using baking soda for just about everything. I’ll have to try the cradle cap treatment, since my son still has some scaly stuff on his head and the baby brush I use when he’s in the tub doesn’t seem to get it all. I love using it with the cloth diapers in the pail, and I like to think when I throw them in the wash that it helps neutralize odors when the baking soda mixes with the vinegar rinse water. Who knows if that works though.

Great ideas I hadn’t thought of yet! I use it routinely for cleaning but hadn’t thought of in the baby’s room.

Here is a link to excerpts of the book if you’re looking for more:

i actually just posted about cleaning with baking soda today. it takes odors out of fabrics you can’t wash–like couch cushions. sprinkle, let it sit, vacuum, and repeat if needed. for odors…baby and otherwise;)
