Baby wipes are becoming very expensive, and you’ll go through a massive number of them in the first 2 years of your child’s life. Here’s a quick, easy and above all inexpensive alternative to commercially produced wipes:

You’ll need:

1 roll of strong paper towels ( I prefer Bounty)

4 ounces of any brand baby oil

4 ounces of any baby shampoo

2 cups of tap water

2 empty baby wipe containers (or a plastic container with a tight lid)

Cut the paper towel roll in half lengthwise (use stout scissors, it’s actually quite easy)and remove the cardboard center.

Put each 1/2 of the paper towel roll in an old baby wipe container.

Mix together the oil, shampoo and water.

Now pour 1/2 of the solution over the paper towels in each of the containers, and let soak.

That’s it! Two containers full of perfectly serviceable wipes for a fraction of the cost.
