Homemade Baby Wipes {tutorial}

Sorry for my brief absence... I hope that this is not a normal occurance, 
but I will always do my best to be a Mom first. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having a baby is not cheap. Even when you buy second-hand, use coupons, and make things homemade... they use a lot of {everything!}

One of my favorite homemade recipes I originally got from my sister. (Thanks Day!)
Here is how I make my own wipes: 
Ingredients: Olive oil, baby wash, paper towel roll, and hot water

To make- take this:

(one thick paper towel)


Then, cut the paper towel in half



(I used a bread knife- but I have used a razor before- it does take some... effort)

Then mix together 2-2.5 Cups Boiling water
2 Tbsp.Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. Baby wash

Well... don't mix. Lightly stir (if anything). Much more than lightly stirring will cause a hu-normous amount of bubbles... which doesn't help anything.

Then put the cut end of the paper towel roll in to a container 
(the best container is one that the paper towels barely fit in.)
Then---pour the soap mixture over the rolls, cover with a lid, then let them sit overnight. 
In the morning, you will have this: 
Some pretty {awesome} baby wipes!

Considering when you cut the paper towel in half- you then have two sets of baby wipes- I usually make 2 batches at the same time. Then I don't have one random 1/2 roll of paper towel sitting around. 

Look forward to a few more tutorials this week! 

Is it really NOVEMBER already? Like the 11th month of the year? What!?!!

  1. Ummm, I had no idea you could make your own wipes. Seriously. None. I thought you would just use a washcloth if you really wanted to use your own... Wow. How much per wipe do you think it comes down to? I'm just curious if it is actually worth it? Guess it probably depends on the quality of paper towel, olive oil, and baby wash...

  2. Yes, they are totally worth it-cheaper and better for ya! Olive oil is a wonderfully kept secret that is good for your skin, hair, food, etc...
    Aubs-great tutorial! Way to share the good news of homemade wipes :) The one thing I haven't found is another container the same size; have you?

  8. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it
    to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and
    screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
