Making your own diaper wipes can not only be cost effective but it can also protect your child from unwanted chemicals that other wipes may contain. The following is a recipe for homemade diaper wipes. They can be stored in an old commercial diaper wipe container.
1 Roll Bounty paper towels (you must use Bounty)
2 1/4 c. water
2 T. baby bath
1 T. baby oil
Cut the roll of paper towels in half and remove the cardboard center. Place one half in a plastic container (plastic ice cream bucket with a handle works great). Mix the water, baby bath and baby oil together and pour over paper towels. Let this soak the paper towels completely before using (about and hour or two). You will probably want to fold each sheet of paper towel in half as you use them.
*Note: for a chemical free diaper wipe, use a natural baby bath that does not contain propylene glycol, aluminum larleth sulfate or other additives and preservatives.
