Cloth Diapers- Cloth Wipes

 Cloth Wipes

This is what I am most excited about when it comes to cloth diaper

Wipes are about $.02 cents apiece.  Some people make their own disposable wipes for cheaper, but I did not think the hassle was worth it, so 2 pennies it was... until I switched to cloth. 

I saw the price of cloth wipes online and laughed- fifty cents apiece!  I then went to the local fabric store, bought a piece of flannel for under $2 and made 24 of my own. 7 in by 7 in.

I also made my own diaper wipe moistener with water, baby soap and baby oil I already had- I’m not counting that cost, okay 2 cents to moisten 24 wipes, happy?

Each wipe cost me less than 8 cents apiece, so four uses and I begin saving. Six wipes a day and the savings began after 16 days.  They are thrown in with the diapers in the wash so no extra cost for washing.  After 16 days my wipes were virtually free! Love it!

Cloth Wipe Recipe

6 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp baby soap

1 Tbsp baby oil (you can use a scented kind to make the wipes smell nice)

Mix it in a container, add wipes, and mix until moist.

That is it. Once I tried it without soap and learned the soap makes poop easier to clean off of little bums. Still the savings is great!

HAPPY SAVINGS!!!

Love cloth wipes!!!
