“…And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”

Ephesians 3:17-18

Homemade Diaper Wipes

A while back I decided to make my own diaper wipes. I had found alot of DIY recipes and tried one that I liked the best. There are many recipes out there, but they are more or less all the same. After making these wipes for a while now I have modified the recipe to be less wet than the original recipe I tried. I love these wipes because they are strong and soft. They also cost less than most wipes, especially when you can find paper towels on sale. I also like that I know what the ingredients are and they have never caused Little Man to break out, while some store brands have.

Here's my recipe for diaper wipes:

1/2 a roll of Bounty Paper Towels
1 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Table spoons baby soap (I use Aveeno)
1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil

Cut a roll of paper towels in half. Pull out the cardboard core. In a bowl mix all other ingredients. Put you paper towels in an air tight container. I just reuse a plastic wipes box. I have also found that a plastic coffee tub is the perfect size for a 1/2 roll of paper towels and this lets you pull the towels out from the center of the roll. Pour the mixed liquids over the paper towels. Shut the lid and shake to let all the liquid absorb.

These are great! Thank you so much for the recipe. I boiled my water and all the other ingredients mixed in really well... better than when I made a batch w/ warm water. But so far they work great and we've already saved money!
