Don't ya just hate it....
I tell ya there's nothing like having to change a baby's diaper and realize you're out of wipes! Solution? Make your own! I actually learned this little trick while working at a daycare/preschool. One of the babies in my class had really sensitive skin. His mother was a Dermatologist and taught me how to make them once while babysitting.
Here is a list of the items you will need:
- A roll of paper towels (Warning: cheap & thin will rip)
- Your favorite baby wash
- Baby oil (If you don't have any lying around, you can use olive or vegetable oil, too. Preferably organic!)
- A round tupperware container with lid (a recycled wipe box works fine, too!)
Cut the paper towel roll in half using a sharp knife. Place 1/2 of paper towel roll, standing up, into round tupperware container. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of warm/hot water, 1 tbsp. of baby wash, and 1/2 tbsp. of baby oil. Pour mixture over paper towels, allowing them to soak for 5-10 minutes (or until fully saturated). Remove cardboard middle from paper towel roll and unwind from the center.
And there you have it! Homemade baby wipes!
