How to make ..... YOUR OWN BABY WIPES :)

While I was pregnant I was informed by a cousin that there was this amazing recipe for home made baby wipes... She insisted that her daughter had a horrendous diaper rash and after she started using the wipes the rash disappeared. I was very skeptical but due to the price difference in making your own wipes and purchasing pre made wipes, I opted to start stocking up on supplies to make my own.

My adorable baby was born on June 23rd of this year and while he was in the hospital they provided us with Pampers Sensitive Wipes (which are supposed to be the best wipes around!). Needless to say my son got a diaper rash and had some sores on his little tush. Thinking back to what my cousin told me months before... I pulled out the recipe... the supplies... and made my own wipes. WITHIN 24 HOURS OF USING THESE HOT CAKES.... believe it or not, my son's red tush was non existent.
I SWEAR BY THESE THINGS! They are a ton cheaper than pre made baby wipes and they work GREAT!

Below you will find the recipe along with directions on how to make these AWESOME, AMAZING, GREAT Baby Wipes! :)


Things you need:

• Serrated Kitchen Knife
• Roll of Paper Towel (I use Viva because it is so soft and thick)
•  Scissors 
•  Container for the wipes (I found this container at our local Meijer's store and have found that it works great!)
• "2 cup" measure
• "1 tbs." measure
• Spoon
• Water (2 cups)
• 2 tbs. Baby Wash (any kind works, generic or Johnsons, etc.)
• 2 tbs. Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil or Baby Oil (I have tried all three and prefer the Vegetable Oil, works the same as the rest but is the best priced)

 Directions:

1. Start by taking the serrated knife and cut the roll of paper towel in half. 
2. After cutting the paper towel the ends will be messy, use scissors to trim up bits of paper towel that may be shredded.
3. Place half of the roll in the container with the cut end down. 
4. Take the "2 cup" measuring cup (do not add water yet).
5. Take the TBS measure and add 2 tbs of baby soap to the "2 cup" measure.
6. Take the TBS measure and add 2 tbs of your Oil of choice to the "2 cup" container. 
7. Now, add warm/hot water into the measuring cup, going just past the 2 cup line. 
8. Stir the mixture with a spoon until well mixed.
9. Pour the mixture over the wipes in the container. 
10. Put the lid on the container and wait 5 minutes. 
11. Take off the lid and you can now easily pull the cardboard center out of the roll of paper towel. 
12. After removing the center, reach in and you can now pull the wipes from the center of the roll.
13.  You are done! Enjoy! :)
