Baby wipes are expensive. And babies require a lot of diaper changes (some of which, take a half a dozen wet wipes to clean up after!) Most of the time, they're small so it takes several to get a job done. Sometimes they're too harsh for the face or even the bottom. A few ingredients and some good paper towel can help you make wipes that are customised for scent / skin sensitivity issues and can save you a lot of money as well. The wet wipes you can make from the directions in this hub are soft, smell great, save you money, and stay wet for a long time if left sealed. Read on for a basic baby wipes recipe that you can customize and that you'll probably use until your baby is in kindergarten for wiping hands, faces, and bottoms. | We Supply 100 % Bamboo Baby Wipes ...
