Make your own baby wipes!

Re: Homemade alternative to baby wipes
I’d like to share a recipe for homemade diaper wipes. If you’re using throw
away ones, you’re throwing away cash! For homemade wipes, if you really
insist on disposable ones, cut a roll of Good quality paper towels in half,
each half will fill one purchased wipes tub. I prefer to use rags, like old wash
cloths, or cut squares of flannellette (old receiving blankets, or flat diapers
are great!).
--Boil and cool a cup or so of water.
--Once cooled, at least to tepid, mix in a couple ounces of baby oil (preferably
a natural one, without petroleum ingredients), and about the same amount
of baby shampoo or body wash.
--Pour over your “wipe” of choice
Wipes made with rags, will keep longer, and not get smelly if you use more
oil and shampoo. (You could add lotion too if you wanted!)
