Do you know what are in your baby wipes? Even if you're using sensitive skin wipes, you'll probably be surprised by what you're putting on your baby's sensitive skin.
Good Guide rated 270 wipe products. It's worth reading.
Even though my son is way too old for diapers, we still have baby wipes around the house. After making these wipes, I think we'll stick with these. I love them.
Here is what I used:
Two Containers
1 Roll Paper Towels (You can use cloth diapers / rags if you're going to be green.)
4 cups Purified Water (It must be purified, otherwise it will mold.)
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil or Baby Oil
1/4 Teaspoon Baby Wash
Instructions:
Lay the paper towels on its side and use a sharp knife to (carefully!) cut the paper towels in half.
Why dirty more dishes than necessary?
Pour two cups of water into each container. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon baby wash into each container (it's not an exact science, I guesstimated). Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave (or use the stove top if you're fancy like that). If you're using baby oil, please do not microwave it. Or cook it. Because, you know, it's already a liquid.
Pour half of the oil into each of the containers.
Stir.
Place the paper towels into each of the containers, cut side down. Smoosh them down and secure the lids. Tip them upside down for about five minutes. Here's where you'll find out how secure the lids are.
After five minutes, flip them right side up. Remove the cardboard tube and pull the wipes out from the center.
