Homemade Baby Wipes

As I was perusing the blog sphere tonight I can across a recipe for homemade baby wipes that would be tons cheaper then buying them at full price. So here it is. My sister use to do this and really liked it but I have never tried it myself so leave a comment if you have tried this particular recipe or if you have another tip to share.

Homemade Baby Wipes

Take a roll of Bounty Select-a-size and cut it in half. Remove the center cardboard tube. Save the other half for another batch.

Mix into a Ziploc or Rubbermaid container:

  • 2 cups of water
  • 2 tablespoons baby wash
  • 2 tablespoons baby oil
  • 1 tablespoon alcohol (optional - but I have always used it)

Place the paper towels in the Ziploc with the solution and start pulling from the center. I usually make them the night before and flip the bag over so the paper towels are thoroughly wet in the morning.

Thanks to grocery cart challenge for the recipe.

Hi! I thought this could go with your homemade wipes...homemade diaper rash treatment. I learned this with my first child from my grandma. Brown about 2 cups of white flour in a frying pan, continually stirring it so it doesn't burn, just gets brown. As soon as it is all brown, set it aside and let it cool. Then store in a plastic container and whenever you see a rash or signs of a rash, sprinkle a teaspoon or so into the diaper and even on the rash. It worked every time for me :)

I used the homemade wipes for both of my kids and they worked great.
