Homemade Wipes Recipe

There are a ton of recipes out there for homemade butt wipes for baby but if you’re anything like me you want cheap and easy. So here is my quick recipes made with things you probably already have and if not you can get for dollars.

Ingredients

2 cups Distilled Water

2 TBS Coconut Oil

1 TBS Baby Oil

1 TBS Baby Wash/Shampoo

Empty Container

1 Roll of Viva Paper Towels (select a size)

The empty container can be an empty wipes container or can be anything with a sealable lid (you don’t want your wipes drying out).

Note: The coconut oil is there to keep your wipes from becoming moldy.

Directions

Pull apart paper towels, fold in half and stick as many that will fit in the container.

Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and pour over the paper towels.

Let stand 15 – 20 minutes before first time use.

If you have a container that has a lid, like Tupperware, you can turn the container upside down and the top wipe will always be moist and ready to go. Do not do this with an actual wipes container, it will leak!

A lot of recipes will tell you to cut the paper towel roll in half, take out the cardboard center and smash down the paper towels down in the solution of your container. I tried this method and it worked like it was supposed to, pulling the middle of the wipes up and out (think Lysol wipes), but I found my wipes were very fragile and would break apart easily. I prefer the tear and fold method.
