Baby Care for Less

by Nikki Willhite

Baby Wipes

There is no shortage of ideas for making homemade Baby Wipes. They are all basically the same. You need 3 things:

paper towels
a soapy solution
a container

Here is the procedure:

- Cut the Paper Towel Roll in half (An electric knife works well)

- Soak in paper towels in a bowl of the Soapy Solution to absorb the moisture (20 minutes for a sealed, air tight container, overnight if not covered) . *Remove the cardboard center from the paper towels.

- Place the wet Paper Towels in the Container.

- Pull out one at a time to use.

Here are the options for the ingredients:

Paper Product Options

Paper Towels (soft), Bounty, Viva, or a good brand that won't fall apart.

Tbsps of liquid baby soap and 1/4 cup water
