This is a cheap alternative to store bought baby wipes. It takes a very little amount of time and effort to make and use. You control the ingredients.

2 rolls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 package cloth-like paper towels (not the cheapest papery type)
2 cups hot water, boiled
1 tablespoon baby bath soap or baby shampoo
1 tablespoon oil (baby oil, mineral oil, massage oil)
1 tablespoon lotion (baby lotion or regular)
1 tablespoon white vinegar (to inhibit mold)

Directions

1
Saw the paper towels in half lengthwise with a serrated kitchen knife (not your best one ... this can't be "good" for it). Mix the hot water and following ingredients:
2
Put the half roll in a plastic container that has a lid, Tupperware-type, empty roll-type baby wipe container, etc.
3
Shredded side down -- I pick as much of the shredded paper off as I can -- otherwise you leave "lint balls" on your baby's bum.
4
Pour the water solution over the roll.
5
(Don't worry about the cardboard tube.) Let sit about 5 minutes, then turn upside down for 5 more minutes to saturate the roll.
6
Now the cardboard tube will pull out easily.
7
Pull a "wipe" from the center.
8
I make one roll at a time and wash the container well between uses. (Note: Mold can be an issue. Suggestions include using Johnson & Johnson soap or 4 drops of tea tree oil to inhibit mold.)

I made these when my son was a baby and that was 14 years ago and used them for my second child. Saved a lot of money. Always kept some in the car and diaper bag, but in a smaller container. During these economic times, I made them for a young couple expecting their first child. I wrote the recipe on the container I put them in and gave the supplies as a gift, minus the vinegar

These are awesome, I love them. I didn't have any baby oil so I used olive oil and it worked great. Thank you, I will never buy wipes again

These are GREAT!!! My friend used them, and she said she would never go back to ordinary wipes again! I tried them once and liked them alot, but cant switch until I use up my couple boxes of wipes that I got on sale. These are great for babies with allergies to other wipes.

I used this recipe on cloth wipes and it works just fine. I bought some cloth wipes off of e-bay, got them in and didn't know what to do with them. I remembered your recipe and mixed everything together. I let the wipes soak over night. After I use them, I throw them in with the cloth diapers for a double wash in the washing machine. Thanks! This helped alot and saved alot of $$
