wipes without breaking the bank

I love this money saving tip its help me save a lot of money with my babies and over all use in my home. Home made wipes or wet napkins I have a set of twins so buying dipers alone was a big expence and I found a recipe that has helped me to keep the cost down on wipes Just buy a pack of the soft clothlikepaper towels no pictures I know they are a little pricey but compare to wipes they go a long way find a plastic wipes container you can ask a friend that has little ones for it then make this recipe 2 cups of water 3 tbs of baby head to toe body wash 2 table spoons of olive oil helps the skin and you can add 2tbs of lotionforcent so it smells like baby it even adds more moister and is very jentle on the bottom I tried it on my 12 months old twin baby's with no problems. add in a small pot the 2 cups of water the 3tsp of baby wash,olive oil and lotion bring to a boil let it cool down then get your paper towels at the perforated line and fold in half make a pile of about 30 towels folded in half you can even cut them,some are even perforated for you to cut (select a size) this recipe should cover the 30 folded and cut would be 60 wipes but if too wet add more towels or less water however you prefer add it all in the baby wipes container and keep close just as you would regular wipes or they will dry and on the go I would put some ready maid wipes in a ziplock bag worked very well everyone can benefit specially moms with babies. one roll of towels will make like four wipe tubs or even more. Thank you and hope this helps some moms out there i know it shure helped me.
