Even though I've been skeptical until now.... I tried making my own wipes. It actually turned out okay, so I thought I'd pass it on. I had a bunch of these plain dryer-sheet-like wipes from the hospital when Matthew was born. Soo.... You take 2cups water, 2 TBSP baby soap, and 1 TBSP baby oil. Buy the bounty paper towels - big roll, select-a-size is best, cut it in half with an electric knife, take out the core and pour the mix over one of the halves in a ziplock bag or rubbermaid bowl. Pull from the middle of the roll. I tried the mix, but haven't tried it with the paper towels. It was a little soapy for me, but It might not be with more wipes. I liked it because it smelled as good as baby soap and wasn't irritating to baby's bottom. I haven't figured out if it's any cheaper though. Bounty towels are expensive.... Let me know if you try it. I guess you could use baby washcloths and wash and reuse - very earth friendly, but isn't that the point of wipes?? To wash it away and get rid of it?
Amy.... May your water break quickly and contractions come even quicker - but may they not be painful:) I know it's frustrating to wait - hang in there, we are praying for you! (I told you boys are stubborn:) Meanwhile, get some sleep - me and Erin wish we could!!

Where did you get the idea for the baby wipes? Sounds very clever.
I read about it somewhere, and I got the recipe on the internet
What a clever idea. I'm not sure if I'm up for trying it right now...Costco's box of wipes seems so easy. I might get up the creativity at some point though. Thanks for sharing! What a good Momma you are.
