Homemade Baby Wipes
Homemade baby wipes are a snap to make, gentle
on your baby’s bottom save you money, and make a
great gift when enclosed with the recipe card.
They can also be adapted for many other household purposes.
The recipe is very simple, and has been passed around all over. You will
need:
Plastic or Rubbermaid Container (about 3.2 QT)
1 roll of Bounty Rinse & Reuse Paper Towels
2 T Baby Bath
1 T Baby Oil
2 C Water
Directions:
Cut the roll of paper towels in half with a very sharp knife. In your
plastic container, mix the ingredients well. Add ½ roll of paper towels.
Place the lid on the container and let it set for about 10 minutes. Then
flip the container over for another 10-15 minutes. It might not even take
you this long, if you keep your eye on it. You want to make sure that the
ingredients have soaked through all of the paper towels. When all of the
ingredients have absorbed, open the container and stand the paper towels on
end with the jagged side that was cut down. Pull the brown paper out of the
middle, so that you can pull the wipes through the center. Then you just
pull the wipes as needed. They tear apart very easily and make diaper
changing simple.
Homemade baby wipes will be very gentle on your baby’s bottom, and you can take comfort in the fact that there’s nothing in them that you haven't put there! They will also save you time and money.
This recipe can be adapted for several household
uses. Exclude the baby bath and baby oil to include about ¼ cup of your
multi-purpose cleaner for quick wipe-ups. Exclude the baby bath and increase
the baby oil to your own desired amount for after-bath body wipes to
decrease baby oil on the floor of your shower or tub. Add some Armor All for
quick car clean-ups.
The possibilities for homemade wipes are limitless and efficient.
Options for Baby Wipes, Powders & Rash Ointments
Homemade Baby Wipes are great for messy diapers. You can alternatively use a few wet cotton balls rung out just to wipe away wet diapers like you would if you had a wet washcloth.
We used 100% Corn Starch as a Baby Powder replacement for both of our boys bottoms when they were in diapers and it worked wonderfully.
I've used 100% Pure Emu Oil if there was ever a
time that the Corn Starch didn't clear any redness, and they actually got a
slight rash. It seemed to soothe and heal it quickly.
