Homemade Baby Wipes

Here's a random "how to" article--feel free to skip it, but it might be of interest to some, so here we go! :o)

We use homemade baby wipes at our house--the home nurse who visited after Hannah was born told me about them, and we've been hooked ever since. They're considerably cheaper than storebought wipes, and there's no chemicals or anything to make little bottoms sting. I've given the supplies as a baby gift at lots of baby showers, but just the other day I had someone else ask me how to make them. I decided to take some pics as I went through the process this morning.

Supplies:
- 2 quart plastic container
- 1 roll Bounty Select-a-Size paper towels
- 2 tablespoons baby bath (any variety)
- 3 tablespoons baby oil
- 2-1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions:
1. Cut the roll of paper towels in half. If you have two containers, you can make two at once, otherwise, save the other half for the next batch.
2. Place towel roll in container (cut side down).
3. Drizzle baby bath and oil over top of towels.

4. Pour boiling water over towels.

5. Once cooled, remove core from towels.

Wala! Simple homemade baby wipes! (And as long as you keep the supplies on hand, you never have to worry about a run to the store when you find that you've used the last one--just make a new batch.) :o)
