Baby Booty Wipes

Moms... This is the post for you!!!

I made baby wipes. At home. In ten minutes.

Hallelujah!!!

I wanted to see if it was worth the time/money spent on ingredients so I did the homework.

We were buying our wipes at Target (Up&Up brand) in bulk, 8 packs for $14.49. That equals $1.81 a pack. Doesn't sound too expensive, right?

What you will need for your homemade wipes:

Water: FREE

Coconut Oil 14 oz.: $5.99

Johnson&Johnson Baby Wash 9 oz.: $2.99

Brawny paper towels 8 pack: $8.99

= $17.97

Paper towels = 24 packs

Coconut Oil = 28 packs

Johnson&Johnson = 18 packs

(1 TBS= 1/2 oz.)

Cost of Ingrediants Per Pack:

Paper Towels: $0.37

Coconut Oil: $0.21

Johnson&Johnson: $0.16

=$0.74 a pack!!!

Here is the recipe:

1 cup HOT water

1 TBS coconut oil

1 TBS baby wash

1 roll paper towels

A sealable container large enough to hold wipes

1. Cut the roll with a large knife in thirds. If you like larger wipes cut the roll in half. My calculations on cutting the roll in thirds. If you cut the roll in half it will be $0.93 a pack. 

2. Pull the cardboard tube out of the rolls

3. In a measuring cup or bowl mix your HOT water, coconut oil and baby wash. You need hot water for this step because you need to completely melt the coconut oil.

4. Pour mixture into whatever container you will store the wipes in and insert your paper towels. Place lid on container.

5. Let it sit for about an hour so it will soak into the paper towels. I tipped mine upside down for a few minutes.

I have also heard of people unrolling the papertowels and folding them so they could use the wipes box. I'm thinking of trying that. 

Baby Ember has sensitive skin so I'm hoping this works well! Let's pray it works wonders. If you have questions let me know!!!
