Homemade Baby Wipes

My sister, Deena, has FOUR grandchildren. As you can imagine, "baby wipes" has become a major new category of spending in her house. When Mary and I went to meet the two Thanksgiving baby boys -- she was making her "homemade baby wipes". And I COULD NOT RESIST photographing the process. This is a GREAT idea -- and something you may want to have handy -- even if you don't have three or four pooping infants!

The first thing is to buy the right container -- these Sterilite containers have the little covered hole in the top -- buy the 16 ounce size...

Then, using a serated knife, you must CUT a roll of BOUNTY PAPER TOWELS in half. (they MUST be Bounty).


Bring to a boil: two cups of water with two tablespoons of Baby Wash.



You place the half-roll of towels (rough side DOWN) into the container, and pour the hot solution into the container:



After a few minutes, the cardboard in the middle will soften -- and you pull it out.



Pull up the first wipe from the CENTER of the roll...

Thread it through the little hole -- and VOILA -- YOU HAVE A GIANT CONTAINER OF HOMEMADE BABY WIPES...
