Homemade Baby Wipes

This is a cheap alternative to store bought baby wipes. It takes a very little amount of time and effort to make and use. You control the ingredients.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 2 rolls

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 white vinegar (to inhibit mold)

Directions

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.)
