Annie’s Homemade Baby Wipes

While Little Bug is past the age of baby wipes, I used this recipe for years. It can also be used for wipes that are carried in your vehicle for those “oops” moments in life.

The wipes are easy to make, very inexpensive, and best of all, you get to control what goes into them! All natural, organic, fragrance free, anything you wish!

Annie’s Homemade Baby Wipes

• Purchase Bounty paper towels (or any thick brand.)
• Cut towels into 1/4s for first year, and 1/2s for babies older than 1 year.
• Bring 2 ½ cups of water to a boil.
• Add 1-2 Tablespoons of your choice of baby lotion to water.
• Add 1-3 teaspoons of your choice of baby oil to the mixture.
• Add 1 teaspoon of your choice of baby bath soap to mixture. (optional.)
• Mix well.
• Place towels into container.
• Pour mixture over towels slowly, allowing time for towels to absorb the liquid.
• Let towels be for ten minutes.
• Drain off any excess liquids.

This recipe will make 2-3 normal containers worth of wipes from the store, at a fraction of the price. I stored mine in gallon-sized Ziploc bags.

You may also add ointment for diaper rashes to the mixture if you wish.

I found this to be a great recipe that worked well for our little one. I hope it does the same for yours!

Have a wonderful week!
