Baby Wipes

Ingredients:

A roll of paper towel (I like VIVA cause they're soft and cloth like)
1 tsp liquid Castile soap (if you can find the baby mild stuff, that would be best)
2 tbls. grapeseed oil
2 cups warm distilled water
48 oz round container with lid (I found mine at Family Dollar)

Directions:

In the bottom of the clean container, add your soap, grapeseed oil, and water. Stir it around a little to mix it up. With a bread knife, cut the roll of paper towel in half, making two shorter rolls. Set one half aside for use later, and place the other half in the container. Snap the lid on tight and turn it upside down on the counter. Let it set like that until the liquid mixture has soaked all the way through. When it has, flip it back over, remove lid and pull out the cardboard piece in the center of the paper towel. Pull wipes up from the center.

I love making homemade baby wipes! They're cheap and easy to make, and hold up well to messes. They're also great for carrying in the car for a quick clean up. You don't need much soap at all, as the Castile soap is concentrated, and the grapeseed oil will leave the babies skin super soft and healthy. You can add or subtract water to get the moistness you desire. But I don't recommend using any more than 3 cups of water, it'll cause the wipes to be too soggy and can cause it to mold.
