Homemade Baby Wipes

Here's a great way to save money!  Make your own baby wipes!  It's easy and cheap and MUCH healthier!! 

I don't have diapers to change anymore, but I do keep Baby Wet Wipes 

in the bathroom and in the van!

(I'm not allowed to call them "baby" wipes anymore...my kids are NOT babies!!)

; D

What you need:

• An old Wet Wipe container (and maybe a few of the traveling size containers)
• A roll of your favorite paper towels  (I use Viva)
• About 2 Tablespoons of your favorite baby shampoo
• Water...about 2 cups

What you do:

• Cut the whole roll of paper towels in half and discard the cardboard roll.
• Mix your water and baby shampoo.  You can add some tea tree oil for some natural disinfectant.
• Pour half the mixture on half the roll of paper towels.  Then turn it over and pour the rest of the mixture on the other side.     

There you have it ~ wet wipes that are inexpensive, safe for your baby's skin, and smells good too.  It's safer because it doesn't have the harsh chemicals that store bought baby wipes have, nor does it have the high price tag!
