With a baby, expenses can quickly add up, especially when you go organic. One easy way to save money in this area is to make things yourself. Not only will you save money, you also get the added benefit of knowing exactly what you’re using on your baby.

Over the years of changing diapers, I started making my own baby wipes. I was amazed at how quick, easy, and frugal it is! You really only need around 10 minutes total and only 5 of that is spent doing something.

If your baby has sensitive skin, you’ll definitely want to try this. Many wipes have drying ingredients (like alcohol) that can actually make conditions like diaper rash worse.

How to Make Homemade Baby Wipes

What You’ll Need

· 2 cups water
· Paper towel roll
· Container to store wipes
· 2 tbsp. coconut oil
· 1-2 tbsp. baby wash or Dr. Bronner’s soap

What to Do

Boil 2 cups of water. You’ll want to be sure to boil the water to help prevent mold.

Using a sharp knife, cut a roll of paper towels in half.

In a bowl, combine water, coconut oil, and baby wash or Dr. Bronner’s soap. The coconut oil will help prevent mold. You’ll want it to be above 76 degrees so that it will be in a liquid state, though. If you need to raise the temperature, you can put it in a saucepan with a small amount of water to liquify it. Then put the liquid mixture in the wipes container.
