Homemade Baby Wipes

I started making homemade baby wipes for two reasons: 1) My daughter has sensitive skin and gets diaper rashes from just about every brand of wipes. 2) I wanted to save money. They are super easy to make and very effective.

 

You'll need:

- A roll of good quality paper towels (I use Bounty Select-a-Size)
- 2 cups of warm water
- 2 to 4 Tbsp of coconut oil
- 2 to 4 drops of doTERRA lavender essential oil
- 2 to 4 drops of doTERRA melaleuca essential oil

Instructions:

1. Cut the roll of paper towels in half. Don't use an expensive knife though because it will dull the blade.


2. In a lidded container, combine the water, coconut oil, and essential oils. Stir until the coconut oil is completely melted.

3. Put the paper towel roll in the container, cut side down. Press down on it to make it fit (it will squish down far enough, trust me!) and secure the lid. Turn container upside down and let sit for about 10 minutes. Open and remove the cardboard, then pull wipes out from the center. Ta da!
