Make your own Baby Wipes (disposable)

So if you can't bring yourself to use cloth wipes all the time (I can't!), here's a simple recipe for making your own.

Buy/Find:

1. Tupperware/container that's as high as half a paper towel roll (8 inches is safe) and about 6'*6' (IKEA has them, Rubbermaid- even a large margarine container). You need a good sealing lid!

2. Grapeseed, olive or baby oil (with no fragrance unless baby isn't bothered)

3. Baby shampoo (I use pure castillle or glycerine soap because it doesn't have extra chemicals in it, but use what you got!)

4. Papertowel (don't cheap on this- find the thick stuff. I use Bounty- its still cheaper than pre-made wipes and you won't be frustrated pulling out soddy, disintegrating wipes!)

Recipe:

1. Cut paper towel roll in half to make two rolls that are similar size to toilet paper. Try a serrated knife if other knifes aren't sharp enough.

2. Pull out cardboard centre from one roll (twist it out, its easier)

3. In a 2 cup measuring cup add- 

           - 1 T - 2T - soap (I find my castille soap is too sudsy to add 2 T)

           - 1 T- oil

           - 3-5- optional drops of baby friendly essential oil (tea tree is antibacterial)

4. Fill up rest of measuring cup with water.

5. Pour 1 cup mix into container, place cut roll in container with hole at the bottom (sometimes container is big enough for both rolls, but you need to double liquid mixture!).

6. Pour rest of mix over roll.

7. Pull out wipes from top, centre hole.

8. Clean babe's bum or hands or face... Voila! Clean, chemical-free baby!
