How to make your own baby wipes-UNBELIEVABLY
EASY!
As a frugal mom, I bought the cheap kind of baby wipes when
I gave birth to my second child. Most are made in China which didn't really
make me comfortable. Aside from the fact that I wasn't sure of the ingredients
contained in each sheet I was using on my baby, they were also rough on the
skin. There are other branded baby wipes but I found them too expensive, and remember, expensive doesn't always mean safe. They might still contain ingredients
that are not good for sensitive skins especially that of a baby. The preservatives alone is questionable. There are other hard to spell ingredients too that may or may not be harmless. I hope they are not harmless since I did use them on my children.
Anyway, the purpose of my tutorial is to share a cheaper and safer way of making your own baby wipes, hoping that you'll find it as enjoyable as I do.
It was some time ago when I accidentally came across one tutorial on YouTube
about making your own baby wipes using just three or four products you can find
at home, and oh boy, was I interested!
After searching for more ingredients on the net I realized
there were even more recipes, more suggestions and tips and I was
like---why did I just discover this
now?!ӣ!
But better late than never, now I will be the one sharing
the simplest way of making your own baby wipes. This is how I did it the first
time, and this is how I am still doing it now.
Materials needed:
-You’re going to need a plastic container with lid, enough
for the size of your homemade wipes.
-any bowl
-1 roll of paper towels
-1 cup water
-2 tsp baby oil
-1 tsp baby bath shampoo (optional)
(I might be adding the step by step pictures later on, but
not now since I still have plenty of wipes and I am lazy to make another)
*And the very simple procedure
Cut the paper towel at the middle to make two rolls. Remove the
hard part at the center of the roll and press the paper towel inside the container.
-The following mixture will be poured over one half of the
roll.
In the bowl, pour one
cup of water, add the oil and baby shampoo, mix well.
Slowly pour it over the container containing the paper roll,
make sure to spread it as much as you can. Cover it and let it stand there for
about thirty minutes. After 30 minutes, turn over the container. You have to do
that in order to let the water mixture seep through the paper towel as much as
possible.
When is it ready to use? The moment you are done with the
procedures above, then it is ready. You now have very affordable and very safe
to use baby wipes.
