Homemade Baby Wipes

Our good friends just had a baby girl named Asher, who is having some sensitivity to wipes. I offered to change her diaper this morning, and when Dad handed me one wet paper towel and one dry paper towel, I remembered that I too had used paper towels for a sensitive child. I went and quickly dug up my old homemade baby wipes recipe and realized that that was one of my earlier efforts in sustainability. So in honor of Asher, I can't think of a a better post for today than this recipe.

Ingredients

1 3-quart lidded plastic container (like Rubbermaid or Tupperware)

1 roll of paper towels

1 Tablespoon any baby shampoo

2 Tablespoons any baby oil

1.5 cups boiling hot water

Process

• Cut paper towel roll in half. (you will use 1/2 per recipe so reserve second half for next time)
• Place half of roll, cut side down, in the plastic container. (do not remove cardboard center)
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Slowly poor over 1/2 paper towel roll.
• Put lid on, and let towels thoroughly absorb liquid.
• Remove cardboard center and enjoy many happy diaper changes.
