Homemade Baby Wipes

Homemade Baby Wipes

Thanks to my friend Emily for sharing this recipe with me after baby #4 arrived! We have used these for about 8 months now when we aren't using cloth wipes. They prove mighty handy!

1/2 roll any paper towels (Use select-a-size if you want smaller wipes.)
2 Tbs. baby wash
2 Tbs. baby oil
2 Cups water

Cut paper towels in half using a serrated knife. Reserve 1/2 in a ziplock bag for later use. Remove cardboard tube from roll.  Place in an 8 cup container. Mix baby wash, baby oil, and water. Pour over paper towels and let sit for 1 hour. 

You can also add a little Tea Tree Oil to prevent mildew. We use them so fast it's never necessary.
I usually pull half of them out and place in an old wipes tub and leave in the car.

Make some wipes and save that $3 for something like a Pumpkin Spiced Latte!
