One product that I use in my home is baking soda. It has so many uses for every thing & best of all baking soda is very inexpensive.
Let's start with natural ideas for the new baby.
1.To keep that baby bottles, nipple & rings fresh, soak them overnight in a bowl filled with hot water & ? box of baking soda. A faster way would be to boil the bottles for three minutes in 3 tablespoons of baking soda & water.
2.Keep a small squeeze bottle filled with a mix of ? water & ? baking soda for when baby spits up to neutralize the spot with a quirt & a blot.
3.Wash new baby clothes in mild soap & ? cup baking soda to remove any chemical finishes.
4.To get rid of cradle cap, mix baking soda & water to make a thin paste. You will want to leave it on the baby's head for a few minutes. Then wash off. This will also remove sand from the scalp. Then rinse baby comb in mixture of baking soda & water.
5.To remove cradle cap. You can add baby oil instead of baking soda to the scalp.
6.Fight diaper rash when you soak baby's bottom in warm water & a little baking soda. You can also reduce fevers by using a baking soda bath.
7.One great idea to remove crayon stains, catsup, etc from high chair trays is to rub dry baking soda on the tray then wipe off.
8.Freshen baby & kid's toys that can't be washed by putting the toys in a bag with baking soda. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, then shake or vacuum the baking soda off the toys. The toys will be free & clean.
