Homemade Baby Wipes

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 package cloth-like paper towels (not the cheapest papery type)
• 2 cups hot water, boiled
• 1 tablespoon baby bath soap or 1 tablespoon baby shampoo
• 1 tablespoon oil (baby oil, mineral oil, massage oil)
• 1 tablespoon lotion (baby lotion or regular)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (to inhibit mold)

Recipe

• 1 saw the paper towels in half lengthwise with a serrated kitchen knife (not your best one ... this can't be "good" for it). mix the hot water and following ingredients:
• 2 put the half roll in a plastic container that has a lid, tupperware-type, empty roll-type baby wipe container, etc.
• 3 shredded side down -- i pick as much of the shredded paper off as i can -- otherwise you leave "lint balls" on your baby's bum.
• 4 pour the water solution over the roll.
• 5 (don't worry about the cardboard tube.) let sit about 5 minutes, then turn upside down for 5 more minutes to saturate the roll.
• 6 now the cardboard tube will pull out easily.
• 7 pull a "wipe" from the center.
• 8 i make one roll at a time and wash the container well between uses. (note: mold can be an issue. suggestions include using johnson & johnson soap or 4 drops of tea tree oil to inhibit mold.)
