I use the tubs from ALL of the baby wipes to store things like pens, pencils, stickies, coupons, colors, etc.

J&J baby wash is great for removing eye makeup. I found anything with oil in it made me temporarily blind, and hurt like an MF’er. No more tears is the way to go!

I use baby lotion to take off eye makeup! works really well and is less greasy than baby oil.

After my son was born, I wanted to stay home to raise him. If was so hard to shrink budget and life style of 2 incomes to one. We kept accumulating more and more debt. I knew I had to something. I wanted to work from my house, so I can be with my baby, but also help my husband financially.
It wasn’t easy to land true opportunity. There is a lot of fraud out there. I tried to get into stuffing envelopes, filling out surveys, secret shopper…. Nothing legit….until…

We too, had a bunch of lanolin left over from my breastfeeding days. We use it for bumbum cream. It works just as good (if not better) than A/D or Desitin.

As a hand-me-down, I received a few cloth diapers that I just loved as burp clothes. Now that’s what I prefer over the “pretty” burp clothes.

The standard crib pad doubles as a travel pad and I keep it in my diaperbag. I pull it out for changings on the go and for the baby to play on at friends’ houses that aren’t use to baby spitup in the carpet.

I use baby shampoo to wash the dogs. It makes their fur extra soft and I can wash around their eyes and nose with “no more tears.” Plus I love how the purple Johnson and Johnson’s baby wash smells - yum!

I second the Lanoline nipple cream usage! The nurse in the hospital gave us, like, umpteen thousand samples and admitted, “You’ll never EVER use just one of these, but keep some in your purse.. your car.. etc”. She was absolutely right. Great lip balm, hand cream, cuticle softner, etc.

My baby’s skin turned out to be uber sensitive, so now I’m indulging in all of the fancy baby washes/lotions everyone showered him with beforehand.

Once your newborn has outgrown her tiny newborn clothes (which is what, 30 nanoseconds after she first wears them?), you can give them to your older child for dressing up her dolls (stuffed animals need fashionable outfits, too!). Several of our 3-year-old’s stuffed animals are wearing hand-me-downs from the baby right now…

Baby wipes are great for cleaning up spills on upholstery. I figure, they’re meant to clean up what comes out of the baby, so of course they’d be good on cleaning up what’s meant to go in to the baby.

Baby shampoo makes an excellent laundry detergent for your delicates/stockings/etc.

Diaper rash creams with zinc oxide can double as sunblock for sensitive skin in a pinch.

I used our babies’ moses basket as a mini-playpen when they were old enough to sit up but not yet ready to crawl… baby sits in one end, fill the other with toys.

You know those plastic rings that link together into a long chain? Once your baby outgrows that, you can repurpose it for your closet… hang a small chain of them from the clothes bar and then thread scarves and belts through the links.

One other use for baby wipes: when you have a horrible cold and your nose is sore and red, use them instead of tissues to blow your nose. Feels gross and slimy the first time, but it will help you make sure you really got your nose clean. The aloe and moisturizers will heal your sad, chapped nose!

i keep baby wipes in the car for wiping my hands after yardsales & thriftstores.

i love johnson’s baby lotion–it has such a glorious light scent & it is nongreasy so it won’t clog up my pores.

also, i had no idea other people did the baby powder in the hair trick. my mom used to do that when i was a kid if i woke up late for school.
