My Grandmother's Great Wipey Recipe



Homemade wipes. Well that's just it. They are homemade wipes, and something should be said for anything homemade. First, things always look easier than they actually are. Homemade wipeys are the easy part. It's what you decide to put those homemade wipeys in. And here was my best shot at it. These will be gifts for three lovely ladies later this year, so shhhhh no telling!

Oh and the homemade wipe recipe of course:

Ingredients:

Container

2 cups of water1 "Big" Roll of Viva or Bounty Paper Towel

2 Tblspoons of Johnson's Baby Oil (off brand will work too!)

2 Tblspoons of Johnson's Baby Wash

1 Tblspoon of Johnson's Baby Lotion

Instructions:

Cut Paper towel in half with sharp knife and place half in container. Boil water, then add baby oil, baby wash and baby lotion. Pour into a 4 cup glass container. Pour Mixture over paper towel and when the cardboard center of the paper towel is soaked remove it. I like to leave the lid of the container on and let the mixture seep into the paper towel really well.

Begin using your baby wipes!

Now, why would anyone make their own baby wipes when they sell them for practically nothing anyway? I think this can give you more control on what you put on your baby's sensitive skin. You can always add more soap to use those wipeys during supper time. Or you could add more lotion if you want to use them to wipe those cute little baby cheeks. Trust me, the more or less you add of a certain ingredient will make a difference. Grandma's always know best.
