You're not only a woman that loves the Lord but you are such a blessing to many others thank you for all that you do and all that you share to educate others. God bless you so much today Andrea and family
GrandmaSewHappy Homestead shes wonderful i do agree,xx
Andrea, you are so caring and loving mother. All that you do for this baby brings me to tears. She is a blessed child to have you for her mommy.
Anita Tucker amen to that!!! ❤️
I couldn't keep a dry eye either. So beautiful!
Watching this 2 years later, as I begin prepping for baby #4!
Watching your videos feels like coming to my mom for advice. I’m so glad I found you.
meetcaroline I have just realised I feel exactly the same way, as I don't have a Mum.
I want to be a baby in your family! What a good Mama you are! Can't wait to see Hannah when she arrives!
You are one talented lady and your time is very well spent . Can't believe everything you accomplish plus raising all these beautiful children.
It’s so amazing that you make everything for your new baby with 8 other kids! I’m not even a parent, and I find it hard to make time for small projects. You are such an amazing mother! ❤️
God has given you so many precious children because he can trust you to care for them in the way they need to be cared for. You are such an amazing mum. Your children are very blessed to have you as you are too blessed to have them.
I never would have thought to make my own baby products but it is such a lovely idea! At least you know exactly what is going into your precious little one.
These are absolutely amazing products and the care that you put into them truly shows. I loved the video, I found it so relaxing and the labels were just awesome! I’ll bet these would sell like crazy because the ingredients you use are so wonderful. I wish I could smell through the screen! Some pampered kiddos you’ve got over there!! ❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️
If I had a baby I would totally buy this stuff from you
Such a smart woman. We will forever miss you Andrea.
Lots of love from Michigan
Someone’s nesting!😉👼🏼
I'm getting so excited for the birth of Hannah! I love your family. Thank you for sharing!
This is seriously the best lotion recipe ever! I keep coming back to this video when I want to make more. :)
You are so talented! And those bottles look beautiful and store bought. Is there anything you can't do, lol
I like how the Bunny's holding the shampoo 😄. These are priceless products for little Hannah; thank you for such beautiful, relaxing videos!
I’m going to make these for my Grandson who is due in March 2020 💝 Thank you Andrea
Andrea your talents amaze us all,I'm sure these lotions and cream would help my skin as very dry,doctor gives me cream but so full of chemicals,went to chemist and simple range still has additives,thè polytar shampoo made my head itchy,I thought some of baby's lotion would work wonders,I don't know if I'm brave enoff to attempt to make it and you've listed ingredients,xxxxx🤗🤗
Try it! If it doesn't work, you just throw it out and try again.
Ellie Goldie HI Ellie! I had severe eczema ... just a little remaining on my face and neck but I make my own moisturizers! Best thing I ever did and way easier than I thought! I'd be glad to share if you're interested 😊
Ellie Goldie Have you tried using baby oil soon as you get out of the shower? No towel drying just Katherine baby oil. My friend had this problem did wonders for her.
Wanda Thomas I would try anything,it's also trying to find something to wash my skin with,xxx
Terry Elisabeth yes I would be interested,thank you xxx
Your labels are very pretty.
You left too soon because you were an angel for sure. 😔💕
You’re talented with so many things you do for your children, how in the world do you find time?
I love how much time and effort you put into being a mom. ❤️❤️❤️ you inspire all of us. Hannah will be here so soon 💕
Happy European Mother's Day to you Andrea! Xx ❤ for the wonderful mother you are x ❤
Love all your baby products. I bet you could make a fortune selling these! Lucky Hannah!!
Okay Andrea I'm all over this. I thought I needed behentrimonium for lotion or something to help keep it stable when it emulsifies. You made this so much easier! Do you mind sharing the book you use for this? I wish I could come stare at your library! Hugs friend. :)
SO MUCH BETTER THAN STORE BOUGHT
Andrea, I have been loving your channel. I am trying to conceive - we have been trying for eight years and this year we finally gave in and I'm on clomid and metformin. When I watch your channel it relaxes me and reassures me that it is possible to have a baby and do everything as naturally as possible. Someday I hope to have such a cool herb collection and also the vast herbal knowledge you contain!
Have you ever considered selling the products you showed in this video? I'm thankful that you post the recipes, but herbs are not always easy for some to store/purchase etc because of limited space or knowledge. I would most definitely buy the baby powder from you for example (when I get pregnant haha).
Anyway I also just wanted to thank you for being awesome and making these videos. Wishing you a safe delivery with Hannah!!!
Yay! I make my own products because I have eczema. Praying I have more babies and will definitely keep these recipes in mind. I would just change out the petroleum because it doesn't agree with my skin. I love how you labeled everything!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Terry Elisabeth I've been using organic lard as a moisturizer for my DS that has eczema. Works amazingly well!
Lots of alternatives out there, I'm sure you'll find one that feels good on your skin! My own favourite homemade moisturiser is coconut oil with a little bit of olive oil and a little bit of beeswax.
junbh2 Oh yes for sure ... I should have mentioned that I use shea butter and cocoa butter and coconut oil. Thanks so much!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Katie Jean I actually haven't heard of using that! Thanks for sharing!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your Natural way to prepare for every New baby it's so cute !
So sweet. I wish I had know about some of this when my kids were babies.
That is awesome your a great Mum Andrea! Thank you for Sharing! Hugs Liz x
Having so much fun following along with you as you prepare Hannah's nest...thanks for sharing, as always. Sending up prayers every day!
awwww Four weeks! When I was pregnant 22 years ago, I never even thought of such a thing as making my own baby products. I did make my own baby food so I guess I get a pat on the back for that. lol
I so enjoy all of your videos.
So creative!!
Wow that was so cool! Now I’m wondering what’s all in my lotions and shampoos...🤨
Love this video. Eeeek it’s getting closer. Thanks for giving us the recipe.💕
Love these definitely going to revisit this video to write down recipes. Love your labels!
So cool!!!! Going to save this and make lotion. Thanks for sharing.
Love it! It’s so satisfying to be able to have the know how to make stuff like this. I have to get one of those blenders. I make homemade cold cream and it whip it with a whisk until it all comes together and cools completely. It’s a good workout! I love that you make the effort even after having eight kids. Usually you slack more after each child. You have convicted me to get on with completing a baby book for the last three out of the eight children I have. Off topic but I was wondering if you could do a Kon Marie update and let us know if that method has been sustainable in your home. Just curious. God bless you all🤗
Love the lables.
So cool! Especially the lotion!
what an amazing talented women you are!
Thank you for sharing :) I look forward to trying out these recipes! I don't have little ones, but my kids (14+) do have sensitive skin and could benefit from these :) xoxo
Watching these videos instead of finding my school ID. This is totally more important
Oh my I agree how did you learn to make all this? Can you tell us where you get all your supplies? I'm new at this and I really want to get into doing things natural plus we have some babies in our family and I would love to do something like this and give it as a gift to bless them
I just buy books, google things or watch CZcams videos when I want to learn something. I've always had a Do-It-Yourself bent, so I just try things. If it doesn't work, oh well.
It’s so exciting , not long now hugs xxx
This might be a silly question, but could mommies use this shampoo as well? I am trying to get away from commercial products and chemicals. My youngest is almost 15 now, but I am tempted to make and use for myself! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us! You and your family are such a blessing!
I'm sure it would be good for anyone! You could start with this and maybe investigate to see what other things might be nice in a shampoo and add them.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing
so awesome!
I love ❤️your attention to detail Andrea. Quick question? Do you have to use a dark container to store them in? Thanks in advance! 😊🌺
Not necessarily. Anything that has herbs or essential oils stays more potent if they aren't exposed to light, but (especially in this case where it's not for medicinal purposes) there's no harm in using a clear bottle.
Wow youre amazing Andrea! Is there anything you can't do?!
Those creams and shampoo just look so pure and gentle. My question, are the chick weed and colangela used for calming rashes? Do they have any distinct odour that the lavender and camomile hide? Cudos to you for all you've done to prepare for little Hannah's arrival!
Chickweed and Calendula are both good for healing skin; neither gives much of a smell. They're pretty much undetectable.
This is the greatest thing ever. This is the answer to so many problems for me ❤️ please tell me what other herbs and oils I can use and does it have issues with spoiling? and what's the average shelf life? Thank you a million times over; ❤️❤️❤️
The lotion may spoil, but you can buy preservatives on Amazon fairly inexpensively. I'm going to add Leucidal to my next batch, but it's not here yet so I didn't put it in this batch. The other things should last almost indefinitely. There are so many choices for herbs and oil. I would just google it and see what you find.
I know this is not about baby care. But how would you make a men's body wash? Sensitive skin. Thank you!
I loved this video!
Hi Andrea, Your herbal products are so well researched and pure and I love how you've used your cricket machine to label your bottles. It looks so professional. I am wondering if you can find an herbal remedy for your dogs skin? (sorry, I've forgotten his name) Poor thing, I just want to cry when I see how red and itchy his skin looks. I know you said you had taken him to the vet, did they do a mange scrap on him? There must be something that can be done for his inflamed skin. Maybe a daily bath to loosen the dead skin and then a message with coconut oil? Maybe that could be something you have one of the kids do. I know you have your hands full so I hated to even bring it up but I just feel so bad for him.
We've tried countless homemade remedies (both topical and oral), medicated shampoos, food changes, supplements, etc. We currently treat him 3 times a week with two different medicated shampoos, but it seems pretty irrelevant. He never gets better. The one and only thing that ever made a significant difference was a cortisone shot two years ago. It was amazing; he was like a new dog! When it wore off, he lost his ability to walk, eat or drink and he began vomiting bile. For three days, we thought it was the end of him. Once his adrenals kicked in again, he slowly recovered, but there was no way we were going to do that again. This past weekend our veterinarian had his local vaccine clinic. (He sets up shop in the fire hall and does vaccines assembly-line style and the town sets up a table to take care of licenses.) Tom took Knuckles down, as usual, and the vet thought maybe we could try very low-dose cortisone pills. He said he'd drop some in the mail to us. We'll see how it goes. We've been working at it so long I've kind of lost hope in finding his miracle cure, but you never know.
Hi again, I should have known you've tried everything. Since the cortisone seemed to help what do you think about using 1% hydrocortisone salve on him? I use it on my face when my dermatitis flairs up and it works well. I buy it at the dollar store but you can get it anywhere . Just a thought.
I've been nervous to try any cortisone on him since "the incident", but the vet seems to think this will be alright. It would definitely be my preference to use something inexpensive and readily available, so if the pills work, I may give the cream a try.
This is the video I've been waiting for!!!
I love you make your own baby products! If the Lord blesses us with another bundle of joy, I would love to try these recipes. Do any of your babies ever get cradle cap or eczema? If so what do you use for that? I have always used commercial products.
For cradle cap, I massage oil onto their scalp about 20 minutes before bathing them. Then use a baby hairbrush with baby shampoo to gently scrub their scalp. It works wonders. None of my kids have had eczema, but I've heard rinsing the skin daily with chickweed tea (or using chickweed in a lotion, I suppose) does wonders.
I thought I would share this with you, just so you know. If I have shared it before, forgive me. I am a "contrary reactor" to lavender. This means that instead of making me sleep peacefully I have very vivid nightmares. Instead of keeping me calm and happy, when conscious, smelling lavender makes me enraged. Like angry in a very scary way. Thankfully most people are not contrary reactors like me, but I thought you might want to know that in case you ever run across someone that gets cranky instead of calm with lavender or acts the opposite of any herbal preparation.
hearsthewater I'm the same way!!! My youngest son is as well. I thought we were just the odd ones out. 😏
My son is that way with chamomile. Instead of making him relaxed, it makes him extremely hyper and cranky. :(
Andrea you are truly amazing you have such good ideas , can you recommend this home made shampoo for an adult with a sensitive scalp ? X
I would imagine it would be gentle for sensitive scalps. You could also customize it using herbs/essential oils that meet your particular needs.
What's the machine called that you used to make your lables for the bottle
Do you have a link to the aloe vera juice and gel you use?
How do u blend yr herbs? Do u use a coffee grinder or a morsel? I love all of these.
I do it either way, just depends on what I feel like at the given moment.
👍👌
Sorry If this has already been asked but what label maker are you using? It's amazing. Thank you for all your vids. I'm so inspired!!
I used my Cricut to cut vinyl for the labels on the fronts of the bottles. (I designed them in my PrintShop 23 program first.) I used my Brother P-touch label maker to make the ingredients labels on the backs of the bottles. Here's my video about that label maker: czcams.com/video/AJGn77x1AFM/video.html
Awesome. Thank you.
Why petroleum jelly? We can't use it, so we use coconut oil, beeswax and Shea butter. Would that have the same effect when adding everything else? Do the herbs loose it's potency after a year? (That is what I was told, but I don't know) thank you so much for sharing these! I may have to start making our own. What a sweet momma your family has. Have a wonderful day!
I like petroleum jelly because it's the best moisture barrier (I just use it for diaper rashes, to it's not used very frequently.) Using the other things you mention would work well, too, though. Herbs do lose potency over time. They don't become harmful, just not as effective.
Andrea Mills thank you ma'am for taking your time to answer and clearing some things up for me. I hope you have a restful evening and have a wonderful day tomorrow. :-)
I know this is a really weird question that you’ve probably never been asked but, I was wondering how do you make sure you fully clean everything you use. Like the spoons, measuring cups, etc if you use them for cooking as well how do you make sure they are completely clean before you use them to cook? ( that is if you don’t use separate things) I didn’t really know how to word this question so I’m sorry.
Nothing I used is toxic, so there's no reason to worry. I just wash them like everything else. I do have separate cooking utensils for soap making, however, because of the caustic nature of the ingredients.
By that, I mean making soap from scratch with lye and oil. The shampoo I made in this video was made using the castile soap I made from scratch. It's no longer caustic. When I made the castile soap originally, though, I used my separate soap making utensils.
Andrea Mills thanks for clearing up my question, I thought everything was non toxic but I was still curious for some reason
What is the “shelf life” of the lotion and does it start to separate?
It should be good for a couple of months. It shouldn't separate. You can add a preservative to make it last longer. I ordered Leucidal Liquid SF (made from radishes) from Amazon to add to my next batch.
Would there be an alternative for the petroleum jelly in the diaper cream? (I’m just not a fan of it)
I prefer petroleum jelly for diaper rashes because it's such a good moisture barrier and holds the herbs onto the surface of the skin, but you can use coconut oil, or another oil, thickened with beeswax, instead. I'm sure you could even add something like shea butter to get a nice texture.
andrea, are you ever worried your new baby will be allergic too the ingredients? (Im all for the natural stuff, I think its much better for you)
No, none of my kids have any allergies (aside from Thomas' hay fever) so I'm not concerned about it. If it turned out the baby was, though, we'd throw this stuff out or use it elsewhere and get something different. No use worrying over something that hasn't happened!
What do you use to mix? Like a whisk or??
I used my stick blender. You could use a spoon or whisk for everything but the lotion. If you don't have a stick blender, you could use a regular blender.
I would pay for these products.
Where do u buy the bottles ? Please.
I bought them from Amazon, except the shaker bottle. I couldn't find any for sale like that, so I bought a bottle of cajun seasoning from the grocery store and re-purposed the container.
Oh no, petroleum jelly isn't good hun. Use coconut oil. You had me until you used petroleum jelly. 😢

Andrea Mills ♡♡♡Does the shampoo bubble? I'm looking to make a bubble bath for sensitive skin. I usually just use baby shampoo but that becomes expensive.
It does make some bubbles, but not as much as if you used a different kind of soap. I made my soap with 100% olive oil. Something made with a harder fat, like coconut oil, would bubble a lot more.
