This is a cheap alternative to store bought baby wipes. It takes a very little amount of time and effort to make and use. You control the ingredients. Ingredients:
1 package cloth-like paper towels (not the cheapest papery type) |
2 cups hot water, boiled |
1 tablespoon baby bath soap or 1 tablespoon baby shampoo |
1 tablespoon oil (baby oil, mineral oil, massage oil) |
1 tablespoon lotion (baby lotion or regular) |
1 tablespoon white vinegar (to inhibit mold) |
Directions:
1. Saw the paper towels in half lengthwise with a serrated kitchen knife (not your best one ... this can't be good for it). Mix the hot water and following ingredients:
2. Put the half roll in a plastic container that has a lid, Tupperware-type, empty roll-type baby wipe container, etc.
3. Shredded side down - I pick as much of the shredded paper off as I can - otherwise you leave lint balls on your baby's bum.
4. Pour the water solution over the roll.
5. (Don't worry about the cardboard tube.) Let sit about 5 minutes, then turn upside down for 5 more minutes to saturate the roll.
6. Now the cardboard tube will pull out easily.
7. Pull a wipe from the center.
8. I make one roll at a time and wash the container well between uses. (Note: Mold can be an issue. Suggestions include using Johnson & Johnson soap or 4 drops of tea tree oil to inhibit mold.)
