DIY Baby Wipes

[@Widespread-Panic]

And 10 years later, people are still benefitting from this video. I chose to fold a roll of half sheet paper towels and add jojoba oil, rather than baby oil, but I wouldn't have even known where to begin if it weren't for this video. Thanks a ton!

[@NaTTer213]

These worked lovely! Thank you so much. I was in emergency for wipes but I don't get paid until tomorrow. These were a life saver!

[@CaliforniaLu]

Thanks for the reminder. I use to make Baby Wipes Before they were invented! Man, I could have been a Millionaire! I eyeballed everything ingredients so I found your video and there were the same ingredients I use to use! I was only shy about 1/2 of a teaspoon! I added Witch hazel you can also use Chamomile. The Witch hazel is Great for those with Hemorrhoids. So Soothing! I thought since there is a Booty Frenzy I post my old-time Recipe. Thanks for the Great reminder that us, old Geazzerets still got it!

[@alianamanzana2452]

What’s the recipe for that?

[@kaylamuldoon397]

Just a side idea since people took the paper towels too. Use wash clothes and wash them and reuse them.

[@dashizzle]

if i ever have a second baby I will make my own baby wipes always. this is so easy peasy and it saves SOOOOO MUCH MONEY!!!!! I wish I knew this 6 years ago!!!! before my only child was born!

[@janethustek7761]

dashizzle1985 I also use them for alot of other things besides babies. They are handy to have around. I think I will try this.

[@janiceetienne1093]

Wow. You don’t know how much we need this right now. Thanks from 6 years later😄

[@lorijohnson8393]

Haha right! I told my hubby people that lived a hundred yrs ago b laughing at us..lol Be safe 2020!🖤

[@theresanott3400]

I add a tbsp. of coconut oil & then the tbsp. of baby oil too. Also use Johnson & Johnson baby bath wash (or the generic equivalent). Use Viva paper towels or the HomeSense extra thick/soft paper towels. These hold up great! Maybe try using a non-serrated knife to cut down on the fluffy ends though? Can use gallon Ziploc bags if you don't have a plastic container. Should fit into a regular diaper wipe container afterwards, but you may have to pull them out from the front for a while until they shrink down enough to come out the top like a regular wipe. TIP: Try not to make more than one half at a time! By the time you go to use the second half, you may find it super soggy and possibly moldy!Just my two cents!

[@cookiefacetwgirlxoxo5947]

Thanks for the tip

[@doyledeanna]

Using distilled water will help with mold.

[@theresanott3400]

+MylifeasDee: Thank you! Good advice!

[@dickgraysonage1277]

Paper products, such as paper towels can contain dyes, inks, fragrances, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, adhesives, and other chemicals.

These would be great for taking to a picnic or BBQ - you could use essential oils to scent them differently.

[@dominikamichell9773]

Very helpful ...thank you for making that video.😊 I just made mine with coconut oil and baby oil and I put Bath & Body Works baby body wash and it smells great and it works awesome... thank you again

[@marleneleanio8096]

Works perfect!!! I also used for taking off my makeup! Works like a charm!!

[@silverlady609]

I like liquid coconut oil and peroxide and any essential oil, and natural as I can find paper towels. Paper towels have lots of chemicals , softeners, bleach, etc.

[@dyllaank2518]

thank you soooo much! i'm in 5th grade and too cheap to get wet wipes or baby wipes, so i thought i could make them instead and this is the perfect answer! I sweat a lot in my underarms, and so before applying deodorant i need to cleanse them and clean them to get rid of the sweat and then put on the deodorant, because putting it over sweat just makes me sweat more and only keeps my armpits smelling good for 10 minutes. but tysm making these for myself is gonna be funnnn

[@crisshanmiggins6067]

Thank you! I have become kind of obsessed with baby wipes. And I like to keep atleast one packs in my bookbag at all times. I can't wait to make them. #Respect

[@blindpeopledostuff3587]

This was good too for other reasons. The ingredients are easy and you can definitely find these anywhere. Sometimes coconut oil and the other thing the tree oil is not easy to find. But these are any general store. and you can always use bounty or Scott for paper towel. They seem to be the ones that hold up the best.

[@MamaMittens]

alyssa caeytano Good points! This is the simplest formula I think. I have not tried it with coconut oil or tree oil though. I keep meaning to try it that way.

[@junhaanika4768]

alyssa caeytano coconut oil is very easy to find in our country Bangladesh

[@andreabiscarner1615]

Just made these and it saves a lot of money thank you

[@shruffles35]

I used to just pre-fold my paper towels, and store in a pile, because I didn't want any residue on my baby's skin. Then I kept a spray bottle next to it with simple water in it, but you could do the same thing with this. Adding just a tiny bit of vinegar would help everything preserve longer too. Vinegar has a PH of 5.5 which is the same as the skin, and it won't cause any stinging, even on a cut.... if it's diluted enough. Baby oil isn't really all that healthy either. You are better off using a light scented olive oil or fractionated coconut oil (coconut oil that's in a liquid form).

[@MamaMittens]

+Shruffle Love Good tips! Thanks for sharing.

[@HappyQuailsLC]

You will also be surprised by how fast these homemade concoctions will grow mold and mildew, dont make more than you can use fairly quickly

[@F3ARtheGERBIL]

@@amyp6170 i know this is old but if you use distilled water, it shouldn't grow mold quickly.

[@shannonswift6]

Exactly what happened to me when I made wipes. I went to use them one day and it was mold everywhere 😲😲😲

[@alianamanzana2452]

Shannon Swift 🤮

[@silvergirl1472]

Probably it can help to add one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to avoid mold. I would also add a pinch of rubbing alcohol.

[@Apex_wolf]

Glad I found this tired of couponing for wipes now I can use whole roll paper towels last longer and cheaper I thinkaybe adding olive oil may help so one tsp olive one tsp baby oil and depending on size 1 half cups water

[@craftinbev7114]

I have found when I make my own wipes, I use distill water cause it seems to last longer.

[@MamaMittens]

+Craftin Bev Good idea!

[@epicgametime1214]

MamaMittens esta padre

[@mizzpiggy915]

Too much soap. I did mine the opposite. 2 cups of hot distill water 1 tsp of shampoo 2 tsp of oil Works better

Grudge yes I tried it successfully completed

[@epicgametime1214]

ok

[@annylove8696]

I will try it tomorrow

[@natashaburroughs823]

I believe this is more suitable as well, I found the other recipe (I’m still thankful for her way of doing it) but this suits my needs for the use/purpose of the wipes.

[@deirdreanndiysandMore]

She said in the beginning she was using these particular wipes for cleaning. But I am going to try you version i am in need of wipes bad haha

[@CutieRingoJoy]

I’m just transferring from bigger wet wipes packs that’s too big to carry around so I diy using zip lock and just needed abit of the wetness so I’m going to follow this method

[@daxinventor3542]

Clever and effective. Well done Mama Mittens. I will try your idea and tweek it a little by changing the solution to something that will clean my dirty hands while I am working in my wood shop. Something with a grease and grime cutting capability. Hmmm! Thanks again.

[@Equliberator]

I like the fact that this avoids baby wipe plastic packaging waste. However, the baby oil also comes from plastic packaging. I wonder whether for example cooking oil from bottles could be used. (Of course, it would be nice if baby oil also came in glass bottles.)

[@Alanabdo75]

Yes this saved us a lot of money

[@meenakshisinger1798]

Hearty thankful for your valuable tips. Stay blessed.

[@MsViva710]

[@janclaine1]

I used this same recipe on my kids when they were babies. They are now 21 and 25. They survived these and cloth diapers. We only used plastic diapers at daycare or when away from home. What a huge money saver!

[@MamaMittens]

+janclaine1 Yes, this can save tons of money! Thanks for watching :)

[@wendygarcia9600]

If I don’t have distilled water how long till it molds ?

[@jessicalafferty7580]

just boil tap water then let it cool, the boiling process will sanitize it

[@romanaarafat8315]

How much days we can reserve it after making?

[@kallipoivaporis2787]

Looks good. Thanks

[@rishikaverma8626]

Can we use paper tissue

[@michelemyankazt6657]

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

These are good but Won't the soap or body wash leave the skin feeling soapy?

[@natashaburroughs823]

Janice Dias I noticed they did on my first dry, I used 2 tsp of oil and then 1 tsp of shampoo. It wasn’t as soapy and suited the purpose of bottom wiping for my kiddos! I also added 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to defer mold!

[@karig4473]

Can you use that same recipe for diapering? What kindof paper towls do you get for diapering

[@destiniduckett8712]

i reccomend coconut for the healing properties it has (has to be virgin unrefined to get the best result tho)

can I use jojoba oil instead of baby oil?

[@InsideAndOuttt]

I just made these... way too much soap and water. I suggest cutting it down in half... 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of soap, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

[@bicy27]

InsideAndOuttt no need to wash after using it ? what about the soap it will remin on the skin?

[@jazminee3601]

I know it’s late but It’s probably because your napkins were thinner or of a different brand. Hers are super thick so she needs to use a lot of the solution to evenly coat all of the tissue

can we use normal tissue paper for wipes?? does it works or not ??

[@michelewilliams4525]

It would probably dissolve. Paper towels hold up when wet, tissue and toilet paper don't, really.

i like the organic paper towels but they are hard to get so i go and find dry wipes so i can make my own

[@vanessaclark5416]

Or I think it's helpful because because if you're a mom of one, if you're a mom of 2 babies, then basically it's going to be very helpful in the way how it is very helpful is, you do have to make sure that its honestly been put in there correctly and you have to do it automatically have to do it so good. And I like that idea I like that idea so that's good and I got one kid on my own that's good atleast vanessa

[@JTTeProductions]

Great video ty! Because you used water, is it a Must to use a preservative to keep germs out? Plz advise

[@MamaMittens]

No, I never do. I just make sure to keep them in a sealed container. I usually go through them quickly and have never had a problem with mold or anything like that.

This may sound dumb, but I'm wondering how long they will keep? Just worried about maybe mold or mildew, as it is now it takes over a week to use a wipe pack

You should use organic coconut oil and a couple teaspoons of witch hazel or alcohol.
