I have previously posted directions for making your own homemade baby wipes. And though I loved them I have come to realize that I didn't like some of the ingredients that I was using in them. For one thing I have come to realize that I don't want to use baby oil on anyone in our house anymore. Just google it and you will see why. I also didn't like having to hunt all over God's green earth for a baby wash that didn't contain soy or corn products and wasn't chocked full of chemicals I can't pronounce. So I've changed up my recipe and have to say I love it even more now.
I used Costco's Kirkland brand paper towels.
- Cut a roll of paper towels in half with a sharp knife. The sharper the better since you don't want a lot of frayed edges.
- Find a container with a tight sealing lid that will fit the half roll of paper towels.
- Fill container with 2 1/2 C of hot water.
- Mix in 2 Tbls of Coconut Oil. I used the organic one from Trader Joe's. Love the scent.
- Add a few drops of Dr. Bronners Magic Castille Soap.
- Stir all wet ingredients together until all the coconut oil is melted.
- Place you half roll of paper towels, cut side down, into the container.
- Snap on your lid and turn upside down so all the solution will soak throughout the entire roll.
- Wait about 15-20 mins and set back up right. Pull out the cardboard tube and pull up the center wipe.
I like this recipe much better. The coconut oil is very soothing on the skin and I've noticed that we don't have to use diaper rash cream nearly as much as we did before I made the switch from commercial wipes and even my previous homemade version. .
