Baby Wipes

We have been making baby wipes for awhile now since I am having an issue giving up paper towels. I figure I can better justify keeping paper towels around if I'm using them to make baby wipes also instead of buy wipe along with paper towels. Yes, I know using cloth is better to use for baby wipes and other things but I like my paper towels.

Container to keep them in (I use old store bought wipe container)
Paper towels
water
Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash

fold paper towels into thirds
put about a teaspoon of Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash in container
fill 1/2 full with water
add folded paper towels
once the paper towels are soaked, turn over container and press wipes down hard to wringe extra water out

Use like regular wipes...these are great for face wipes too and don't have to worry about getting it close to the eyes (tear free)

***********Added after reading something by a pediatrician****************
Use boiled water instead of tap water. This cuts down on bacteria and makes the wipes last months instead of weeks.
