1 roll of paper towels
2 T. baby oil
2 T. baby bath or shampoo
2 cups boiled water, then cooled
Old diaper wipe container
(or any airtight container will do)
Each roll of paper towels will make two boxes of wipes. You also have two options for the style of diaper wipes to make. You can either cut the roll of paper towels in half; leaving them in a roll, or you can tear apart the towels and fold them to fit into the box. The later was my preferred choice.
After you place your towels into the empty box, mix the remaining ingredients in a large measuring cup. Slowly pour the liquid over the towels, making sure to cover them evenly.
If you have chosen the folded method, place half of the towels in the box and pour in half of the liquid. Then add remaining towels and remaining liquid on top of them.
If you have chosen the rolled method, be sure to remove the cardboard from the middle before adding the liquid. After the towels have set for a short while, they will absorb the liquid more evenly and will keep fresh for several weeks.

How long do these stay usable for once you make a batch?? The sugar in the honey doesn't create any yeast problems?
I don't know about the honey...I would think it would cause yeast problems too. Here's a recipe from another mommy board I'm on:

Hey i think this is a great idea, heres a silly question is teh 2T a teaspoon or tablespoon....??? Im really interested in trying this.

I thought that honey was a natural disinfectant, like alcohol but much more milder
Anonymous, if you don't mine I would like to use your recipe, care you submit your name? I like to give people credit for it.
Sorry Karie, but T seems more accurate than capful, and if honey is not healthy for baby bottoms, then I'm afraid I can't use your recipe. thank you for getting the interest stirred..
don't mind**
thats ok, i don't mind at all... i dpn't know about the honey, we have never had ANY issues.
Go ahead and use it if you like, Jessika. This is Cindy :)
Thanks :)
Yea, I too thought Honey was good for being a sort of natural anti-infection type of thing? Care to explain this to us Cin.?
