Fed up with not being able to fix this wrong being done to my baby girl I happened to stumble across a recipe for home made baby wipes on one of my favorite sites.www.hillbillyhousewife.com. Today I jumped to it and in less than two minutes made an entire container full of homemade baby wipes. These wipes are economical ( costs around $1 per "batch" ), more green ( no packaging, shipping, driving to buy), and actually clean the bum ( or any other body part that is dirty) with out leaving a sticky after feeling, and best of all my baby girls first diaper change with her new momma made wipes was, wiggle, tear, and pain free. Here is the magic recipe for what I like to call Momma Made Wipes:
MOMMA MADE WIPES
1 Empty wipe container
1 roll plain paper towel ( no prints) cut in half
2 cups Water
1/4 cup Light Olive Oil
1/4 cup Gentle Baby Wash
With a sharp knife cut roll of paper towel in half and remove the cardboard from the center. Save other half of paper towel roll for the next batch or double recipe and make two at once if you have to containers. Place cut paper towel in wipe container. In a small bowl mix together water, olive oil, and baby wash. Pour mixture into container and close. Turn container a few times to gently distribute liquid onto paper towel. You may need to open container and turn roll a few times. Pull towel from center of roll through the top of container for distribution.
Remember you can find the original recipe on http://hillbillyhousewife.com
ReplyDeletei love that website!
ReplyDeleteBrandon and Crystal,
ReplyDeleteI do too! There are so many great ideas and recipes in this site. Many of the things I have already incorporated into our life but others that I have not. The site also inspired me to shop smarter at the grocery store. I can now shop for an entire month of three meals a day seven days a week for under $300! We eat very well too. Very whole and organic as much as possible.
